‘Demonic’ sea lions that attacked people off California coast were sickened by toxic substance: scientists

[P.O.E.]

I saw Demonic Sea Lions open up for the Pogues.

195 sea lions admitted to some medical facility. Must be pretty expensive to treat them…

OK, “scientists,” now do Demonic Democrats.

Of course that is redundant. All Dems are Demonic these days.

[BenLurkin]

It’s insane. These are not nice creatures to start with.

[crusty old prospector]

Sounds like they need an exorcist.

All that toxic sewage being sent up to us from Mexico.

Sea lions are lots of things, but “adorable” is not one of them.

The sea was angry that day my friends.

BUT they being in the sea.

When I lived in SF, I’d go down to the beach to watch them. A lot of people did.

I just knew Titleist Golf Balls were somehow involved!

There is also a good Walking Dead reference here. Maybe, the swimming dead?

Last time I was at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, crowds of tourists and visitors congregated a few yards away from the beach, where dozens of Sea Lions lay around, sunning themselves as they waited for snacks to be thrown by the crowds. I couldn’t get away fast enough.
That odor was awful. Like the biggest latrine in this hemisphere. I don’t find them at all fascinating.

They took the brown acid.

[MikelTackNailer]

“Domoic acid toxicosis"? There's surely a more believable explanation for this.

Isn’t this what happened to all the birds off the CA coast years ago that Hitchcock based his movie The Birds on?
