Harbor seal shot in the face in Hood Canal, WA | FOX 13 Seattle

Veterinary experts at SR3 in Des Moines are fighting to save a harbor seal found emaciated and shot in the face near Hood Canal. Rescuers in Quilcene discovered the animal in "dire straits" with blood on her muzzle, later confirming via X-ray that a projectile was lodged near her brain. Wildlife advocates warn this is the second shooting in the area in six months, pointing to a dangerous trend as state lawmakers debate controversial bills that could encourage the culling of seals and sea lions.
