Over 30 Maimed and Killed Pelicans Deserve Justice

Target: Charlton Bonham, Director of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife
Goal: Find those responsible for maiming and killing over 30 brown pelicans.

A brown pelican was found with its humerus bone protruding through its skin, and its wing had been twisted several times around. In less than a year, more than 30 other pelicans have been found maimed or killed along the Southern California beach between San Clemente and Huntington Beach.

Historically, fishermen tend to have conflicts with pelicans, who they accuse of stealing their bait or interfering in their catch in other ways. It is suspected that foul play is involved in these incidents.

“There is a history of members of the public having issues with pelicans, particularly fishermen,” Elizabeth Wood from the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center stated. “Just based on that history, people are worrying that the same thing is happening again.”

Although the California Department of Fish and Wildlife is investigating the incidents, there do not appear to be any suspects identified yet. Sign this petition to ask authorities to devote more resources to finding and prosecuting those responsible for these attacks.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Charlton Bonham,

Over 30 brown pelicans have been found maimed or killed in the past year in Southern California. One such injury entailed a bird with its humerus bone protruding through its skin, and its wing had been twisted several times around.

Historically, fishermen have been known to have conflicts with pelicans due to the birds sometimes interfering with the fishermens’ catch or stealing their bait. Although no suspects have been identified, it is suspected these attacks are being conducted by humans.

Please devote more resources to finding and prosecuting whoever is responsible for these heinous attacks.

Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

    What sick demented person does this to any defenceless bird/animal. Catch the bastard and tie their legs and arms around various parts of their body, ignoring all screams of pain!

    • Naila M Johnston says:

      Just kill them because they WILL NOT STOP!! They will murder animals and people again… they are a tremendous danger to society!! Get rid of them now!!

      • Gabriela Torres says:

        Wish some authority would agree with you and follow your suggestion — unfornately an animal is an animal to them and NO ONE cares how they get murdered by someone who should be erased from the face of the earth!
        I totally agree with you!

  2. Charleen Murphy says:

    Yes! There are no words I can think of for someone who did this!! Disgusting evil monster who’s absolute FILTH!! Do this to them!!

  3. HUMANITY STINKS!!! I wish the worst luck to the one who did it.

  4. Eye for Eye, Find the evil subhumans and break every bone in their body

  5. who ever did this should get the same twist his neck around his head

    It is so disheartening to learn how cruel people can be. Even if it turns out to be the professional fishermen are having a problem with pelicans taking their bait this is obviously not the way to solve a problem. Hope whoever is doing this is found and punished to the very fullest extent possible!

  7. All possible resources need to be used to stop this POS. Next it will be your children when animals are not enough. When caught make sure he falls down a long flight of concrete steps.

  8. Where are we going this way? Deplorable act of cruelty! I’m so ashamed of my own race! No more words 🙁

  9. Please find these scumbags and Prosecute Prosecute Prosecute! To target an animal and harm them on purpose is the early sign of a serial killer. This is practice. How many have been killed or died from their injuries. Man is the Onky ‘animal’ that harms on purpose.

  10. KARMA!!!!! AND KARMA NEVER FORGETS!!!

  11. THIS IS HORRIBLE AND DISGUSTING AND DISGRACEFUL. WHOEVER DID THIS TO THESE POOR ANIMALS MUST PAY SEVERELY FOR THE PAIN. SUFFERING AND TRAUMA HE OR THEY CAUSED THESE ANIMALS. THIS IS INEXCUSABLE AND UNACCEPTABLE.

    Cull the greedy inbred creeps. This is disgusting & horrifically cruel. Find them and remove them from society asap!

  13. Fisherman in this area are looking really bad. I hear about them doing stuff like this too frequently. I’ve heard about them shooting the Sea-lions for example.
    The general fisherman community could collectively put a stop to these evil POS’s if they had the will.

  14. Renata Kuchinsky says:

    Find these monsters. Get them behind bars ASAP before they do more harm. They are dangerous and sick. I also hope for karma to be swift. No Mercy and I don’t care if these are teenagers or adults.

  15. Just today I was reading an article about our future. We have to face a tragical reduction of our widlife. With the climate change we are killing an unnumerable amount of the animals. So why do we not care for them as long as we can have them? Why are there so sick people destroying every beauty on this planet?

  16. We need to put on our “thinking caps” and find ways to discourage rather than maim and kill our competition. We’re supposed to be the smart ones.

      Your suggestion is excellent for ‘normal’ human beings but not for subhumans, greedy and capable of doing abnormal atrocities to have their own way.

    Charlton Bonham, Director

    Please do whatever you can to resolve this situation.

    How about viewing it in this way….these pelicans are trying to live their lives as God intended. They are trying to survive with limited food sources. They don’t have a grocery store to run into to buy their food! Fisherman on the other hand do…..! Any one that would react in this horrific evil way is someone that should be feared!!!!!!!! Please investigate and find them…..and charge to the full extent of the law!

    • patricia schwartzman says:

      Your suggestion is excellent for ‘normal’ human beings but not for subhumans. Fishermen are generally ignorant people without education, some can read, or barely attended school for one or two years, their upbringing lacks values so they don’t hesitate to commit atrocities in order to get what they are after.
      Sad but that’s the truth!

  18. Michelle Stewart says:

    Every person that is responsible for torturing and killing all the pelicans must be found. Real justice would be to find them and break all their limbs and leave them in the middle of nowhere to suffer and die

  19. The Twisted Scum who is doing this would be better off put out of its sick warped misery. It will never be of any use in the world it is just an evil moron with no moral compass.

  20. STOP KILLING AND MAIMING PELICANS IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!
