This is probably the last thing you expect to see when you get near a cute sea lion.
The incident below, which occurred at the Steveston Fisherman’s Wharf in Richmond B.C., in Canada, shows a bunch of tourists on a pier looking at a sea lion. You can tell pretty early on that the sea lion is not in a good mood, as he attempts to grab at a young girl on the pier, but just misses. Well, he didn’t miss the second time around.
Check out the crazy video below filmed by Michael Fujiwara. It all kicks off at the 1:35 mark.
“I was just sitting by the dock and then this sea lion popped its head out of the water just in front of me,” Fujiwara told the Vancouver Sun. “I just took out my cell phone and started filming… She [the young girl] and her family, I guess, they came, they started feeding the animal bread crumbs or whatever it was, and then I guess the animal got a little too comfortable.”
And that’s quite the understatement.
The young girl was fine and there were no injuries. And this is the story of why that young girl kicked off a personal vendetta against all of the world’s sea lions.
