Baby seal stabbed on Oregon coast prompts search for suspect

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says it is searching for the person who stabbed a baby seal multiple times on a beach in Oregon. NOAA said the seal survived the March attack in a cove in the small town of Neskowin, which sits along the Pacific Ocean. The agency’s marine stranding team was able to help it relocate after monitoring and evaluating the animal. The agency’s law enforcement office is investigating the attack and searching for a “person of interest.” The federal Marine Mammal Protection Act prohibits harassing, harming, killing or feeding wild elephant seals and other marine mammals.
