Actually no. He was chased onto land by polar bears that fell off the melting icebergs who then swam to Calipornia, got brain cancer from excessive carbon emissions and tried reading him passages from the Bible.

Being an LBGTQRSTUVWXYZ Sea Lion, he ran from oppression, seeking out a safe sone free of trigger words like “The” and “Is”, only to be beaten by a white cop who moonlighted as a KluKlucSealtrainer at an amusement park.

I am entirely unsure how or why you are unaware of this tragedy.

Here is the one thing I do know, there is only room for one loud actor with a big nose and that place on The Streets Of San Francisco belongs to Karl Malden and his sidekick Michael Douglas.

More seriously

California Sea Lions have always been present in San Francisco Bay.[citation needed] They started to haul out on docks of Pier 39 in September 1989. Before that they mostly used Seal Rock for that purpose. Ever since September 1989 the number of sea lions on Seal Rock has been steadily decreasing, while their number on Pier 39 has generally increased. Some people speculate that sea lions moved to docks because of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, but the earthquake occurred months after the first sea lions had arrived at Pier 39. It is likely that the sea lions feel safer inside the Bay.[2]

The sea lions at Pier 39 have become a tourist attraction in their own right Although the reason for their migration to the pier is unclear, the refurbishing of the docks in September 1989 required the removal of all boats from that area, leaving large open spaces for the sea lions to move into. Once the project was completed, boat owners returned, but did their best to navigate around the sea lions; no efforts were made to encourage the new guests to leave. By the end of that year, less than a dozen sea lions frequented the docks at Pier 39.[2] By January 1990, their numbers had increased to 150 animals.

Owners of the 11 boats docked there began to complain about having to avoid the animals who can weigh up to half a ton, and odor and noise complaints began to pour in. Press releases caught national attention, and the sea lions began to attract tourists. Advice from The Marine Mammal Center was to abandon the docks to the animals, and to relocate the boats elsewhere.[2]

The only globull thing about this story is the bull the author pulled out of his A$$. But we already knew that.
