Lachie resting at AMWRRO after treatment
A young sick Australian sea lion that hauled out and was found sleeping in the middle of a road at The Bluff (Victor Harbor) was mauled by a Wolfhound that was let off lead to have a run despite being told there was a young seal on the road.
This young male Australian sea lions named Lachie is now recovering from the attack which occurred on Friday afternoon. There were several unfortunate circumstances that led to the animal being returned to the water by order of local authorities despite personnel on ground having very straight forward instructions to leave the animal where it was; which delayed the animal receiving care much sooner.
Luckily for Lachie he was rescued late Friday night and is currently stable. Flippers crossed he will pull through.
