sfgate.com: Off-leash dog in Point Reyes kills threatened Guadalupe fur seal, a species rarely seen in the park

An off-leash dog killed a threatened Guadalupe fur seal pup Monday in Point Reyes National Seashore, 30 miles north of San Francisco.

The canine was in an area of the park where dogs are currently prohibited due to nesting snowy plover birds, another threatened species.

A park visitor saw the incident happen and called the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, but by the time wildlife experts arrived, the animal was dead. A necropsy confirmed the cause of death was the dog attack.

The dog and the dog’s owner allegedly left the scene, and an investigation is underway.

Beyond all this, the stench of piss in many parks is absolutely appalling. If people want to own large mammals and have them piss all over their own property, that’s one thing. But doing that on public lands is fucked.
