A 30-old-man was charged Tuesday with shooting and killing a protected northern elephant seal on a California beach, federal prosecutors said.
Jordan Gerbich of Santa Maria faces one count of taking a marine mammal, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney’s office.The elephant seal was found dead from a gunshot to the head on a beach near San Simeon last September.The area is popular viewing spot along the Central Coast where visitors can observe the enormous seals, which can weigh more than 1,000 pounds. The animals are a protected species under the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
If convicted of the misdemeanor offense, Gerbich could face a maximum sentence of one year in federal prison, officials said.The case was investigated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Law Enforcement and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
When a man does this, he demonstrates his weakness. After that, he is punished. This is not only disgusting, but also stupid.
His name is Jordan Gerbich of Santa Maria.. let’s find him!! 👊
At least CA is prosecuting someone for something. The guy would probably walk if he just shot at people
He should be forced to battle a rutting elephant seal. That would put his gas at a low peep.
Probably one of Trump's offspring
The electric chair sounds nice for him
Did the seal ask him to put on a mask?
Messed up. Just why? Would it not raise its fist for BLM?
How awful! Why would he do that
