Really? Cut the Chopper from Newport, Transport baby Sea Lion to Sacramento?

November 16, 2014 Pacific

“The Coast Guard played an enormous role in making the transport possible with the least amount of time, which is always a No. 1 priority for the sea lion’s health,” said Lauren Campbell, veterinary technician for TMMC. “We have a great partnership with the Coast Guard and because we strive for one goal – to help save Leo – it further his chances of a successful life out in the world,” said Campbell Read the rest here 09:37
