In the same way that Mark Kelly's life was forever changed when his wife Gabby was shot in a Safeway parking lot by a madman with a Glock 19, so too has his life been touched by witnessing his 18-year-old daughter Claudia's dog attack a helpless baby sea lion in Laguna Beach, California. The last time it was at a congressional outreach meeting; this time it was while on a family vacation at Goff Cove Beach, where the message is: "If you do visit this area please do not take, collect or disturb any of the marine life."
Leisurely walking the beach near the Montage Laguna Beach resort with his daughter and her 65-pound American bulldog, the dog suddenly exhibited instinctual behavior when it noticed a sea lion pup, broke free from the leash, and charged the helpless pinniped. Sea lions detect prey by sensing victim vibrations with their whiskers; suffice it to say that the Kelly dog seriously messed up this particular sea lion's vibrissae. After locking down on its face with a mandible that exerts 235 pounds of force, assault bull dogs can now be added to the list of the sea lions' natural predators that includes sharks, whales, and polar bears.
Ruining the mood in an otherwise affluent seaside artists' community, the Kelly dog, after hunting and capturing prey that typically only includes bear, wild boar, raccoon, and squirrel, could not be coaxed to discharge the hemorrhaging seal from its 42 large teeth. A commotion ensued as passersby rushed to the seafaring mammal's defense, because the stubbornly uncooperative dog simply refused to release his catch from his grip.

I don’t blame the lil feller but, I got no problem putting down his owner as completely irresponsible.
Like I said, It was not on leash, either properly or intentionally.
Your dog should not be allowed to break free of your control, either physically and/or under verbal command.
When I was a kid growing up in northern Michigan, it was quite common to hear of people’s dogs getting shot if seen running deer.......

It is all about the balance of Nature.
For those of us who enjoy eating fish, our allies are the Great White Shark and the new American Bulldog Shore Patrol.
Over abundance of Sea Lions and Seals has severely damaged the Fish population along the shores of America.
Anti-Fish Federal and State Judges have consistently chosen to punish any attempt by fish-loving Americans to reduce the breeding stock of these harmful to fish Sea Lions and Seals.
It is only fitting that an AMERICAN Bulldog has stepped up to restore the balance of Nature by removing a juvenile Sea Lion from the gene pool.
As this new American Bulldog Shore Patrol continues to grow in popularity, boat owners will also begin to have more unfettered access to their boats and Sea Lions and Seals are driven off of the boats and docks along America’s shores.
Looks like he also fled the scene, too. That’s probably a crime. I wonder if anyone called the police.
Unlike a gun, a dog can attack and kill without anyone pulling the trigger. Yet you will never hear any liberal Democrat screaming for “dog control” with these “military styled Assault dogs” that can kill without a moment’s thought.
Kelly’s dog has killed more things than my guns ever have.
What’s the difference between Gabby Giffords and a sea lion?
Her husband can’t mooch off a sea lion
Her husband is working for Elon Musk now, isn’t he?
