The title says it all.
Garden Grove resident Hai Nguyen was fishing in Newport Beach when a sea lion came up to eat his fish bait, so he stabbed the federally protected animal with a steak knife.
That was in July of last year.
Today, Nguyen was in federal court, pleaded guilty, and received probation. The government had asked for 6 months’ imprisonment. Read more here.
Hahaha! Good one, Bolsavik. I clicked the link, and the headline is “Man who fatally stabbed sea lion gets probation”. What kind of headline is that? Yours is much better!
Why not imprison the animal too, ’cause he eated the man’s fish illegaly as well? Eight months, if you ask me, as Mr. Sealion caused the fighting.
Very interesting.
