This is pretty disgusting. Anyone else would have been fined and their dog put down, but not America's favorite gun grabbers.

best quote from the comments:
I fully support the rights of Americans to own dogs, but we have to agree on reasonable dog control. Think of the baby seals. There should be universal backgroundchecks before anyone can purchase a dog. And why does anyone need a dog that big? I think all dogs should be limited to 10 pounds or less. If you disagree you must love dead baby seals.
american bulldog not a pitbull......the term pitbull is thrown around like the term assault rifle

I stand corrected, Pitbulls are terriers and bulldogs are mastiffs.

Wasn't there a big news story about people in jersey kicking the seals to get them off the beach? Then getting banned from the beach privledges?
Elitests.
I sent the link to PETA on their website and told them there needs to be protests and calls for criminal charges for stupid, ignorant people to have a dog they are unable to control near an area where innocent sea mammals that are protected by federal law would be put in danger.
Hey if that AZ gun store wouldn't of refused to sell him that AR he could of busted a cap in that dogs ass. That whole family are a bunch of tools.

Even Fox New's story is BS:
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/03/26/giffords-husband-mark-kelly-pulls-attacking-dog-off-sea-lion/
Giffords' husband Mark Kelly pulls attacking dog off sea lion
Note: it doesn't say "their dog"
Amateur video shows former astronaut Mark Kelly, the husband of ex-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, yanking away a dog that clamped down on a baby sea lion at a California beach.
Laguna Beach police tell the Los Angeles Times that the attack happened near an exclusive resort Saturday.
In the video obtained by the Times and KABC-TV, Kelly's screaming daughter tries to pull her dog from the sea lion as two other women help.
Kelly finally steps in and wrests the animal free. It later died.
A spokeswoman for Kelly's political committee says the family crated the dog and then talked to officers. Police say the dog broke from its leash, and no laws were broken.
Kelly and Giffords recently started a gun control advocacy group. The former Arizona congresswoman was shot in 2011.
umm: failure to control your pet (aka a dangerous animal) resulting in the death of a wild animal (ok..ok...I know, my Golden retriever chases squirrels all day long and I don't know animal laws in CA)
5 free rounds (I'm cheap) to the first person who makes a picture of the Kellys with a seal and a caption that says "My AR15 has never killed a baby seal" or a picture of the Kellys in Alaska with a club around a bunch of baby seals...your choice.
Tasteless...sure...funny...IMHO

The comments from the OPs linked article are great. (besides the whole pitbull vs bulldog drama)
Hopefully they will scurry back to their little corner and not poke their heads out for awhile but if they do, I hope 2A rights protesters make some graphic signs with dead sea lions on them.

I'm no expert in Cali laws but apparently you need to keep your dog 500 feet away from "protected species" on Cali beaches. The sea lion is protected.
I sent the link to PETA on their website and told them there needs to be protests and calls for criminal charges for stupid, ignorant people to have a dog they are unable to control near an area where innocent sea mammals that are protected by federal law would be put in danger.
Awesome idea!!! Everyone please do this!

im definitely going to contact peta today about this.
but, the question is...did dad buy the assault dog for his daughter? if so, would it have been a straw purchase? if she was a prohibited person. also why was the assault dog in a dog free zone?(seal habitat)
i hope the animal rights activists screw with them hard.

There was definitely an illegal transfer of the assault dog somewhere in this process. I don't think his daughter got a BGC.
I demand Mark Kelly now testify in front of California legislators that children and baby seals will only be safe when dogs are banned.
P.s., your application for a German Shepherd puppy has been approved, Mark.

Ain't Karma a bitch!
In that video that's not a bulldog... that looks like a terrier, perhaps pitbull. I just love how the cameraman says "The seal is dead, no use in hurting the dog" while that woman continues to hit it and nothing happens.

In Jersey? "To get them off the beach?" Shit . . . I can see the fucks in South Jersey driving their Porsches and BMWs to the beach specifically to kick baby seals, probably while their friends film it on cellphone cams laughing. A whole different type of mentality in that region.
I see a leash on dog in that video....
I'd try submitting this to the right State and federal agencies that are concerned with wildlife. Local PD may not care but get more animal focused feds involved.... may not be the same mercy.

they may have snapped the leash on after the dog started the attack. "oops, i guess we shouldnt let our murderous dog run off leash, quick snap the leash on before someone sees us"
Sea Lions are just rats of the see anyway, too many of them they need to be hunted. Call PETA though.
Woosy video they are crying over sea lions?!

Not necessary... the sweet rapture of joyful artistic creation is all my dear lil' heart requires to feel the warm, fluffy sunshine of happiness.
When the SHTF, you can donate 'em for me into the nearest damnocrat. :-)

Looking at it now, yep, it is... And I agree, some dogs are strong enough that it doesn't matter if they're on a leash or not, if you're not ready for when they get excited or not strong enough to hold them back, you're not going to control that dog.

Um yeah........ I think I'd try to woo the dog first, if we were in a "repopulatin' the species" type of situation.

That definitely looks more like a pit bull than a mastiff and the leash doesn't look broken at all. More likely, they just didn't exercise safe dog handling and another innocent victim suffered for it. I think I'm going to make a bumper sticker: Mark Kelly's dog has killed more than any of my guns.

Gun grabbing astronaut's daughter goes for a walk on the beach.
Gun grabbing astronaut's daughter looses control of family dog.
Gun grabbing astronaut's dog does was dogs do to perceived prey.
Gun grabbing astronaut's daughter can not control family dog.
Crowd gathers and does little to nothing to help, except take video.
Gun grabbing astronaut finally shows up and pulls dog of now dead seal.
Gun grabbing astronaut removes dog from situation.
John Q Public turns out to be someone of some notoriety. WooHoo! We have the cover story for the evening news.
Tabloid journalism at it's finest.
Glad no one is around, with a camera, when my dogs take off after rabbits/squirrels/cats...

Yeah I bet $10 there wasn't a leash on that dog prior to it attacking the seal.

The story read that they "crated" the dog, then spoke to police. The dog broke from his leash. The police then said no laws were broken? I guess you can't arrest a dog. Lucky for him. Elitist bastards!!!

Not everyone is perfect, nor always manly, nor always does the right thing. Sometimes we just have a terrible day. However, because this person is also actively fighting against our rights, I hope he/they catch as much flak from this, and everything, as possible.

100% sure its an American Bulldog. I have one.
Mine would have probably done the same thing if my wife had ahold of him. With a dog that weights 100 lbs not much can hold them back. Only difference is I know that my American Bulldog could possible to that so he doesnt leave our house. Its unfortunate and I dont know what I did wrong but as a responsible pet owner I know not to put my pet in a situation where something could happen.

There's your problem, you're assuming the Giffords/Kelly family is RESPONSIBLE!? Look at what Mr. Kelly is doing, he got shut down after his motives were questioned in an AR purchase... surely this guy shouldn't have anything dangerous that you wouldn't trust an irresponsible, emotionally compromised person with. But good for you, my 85lb mutt forces us to be responsible with him so we can avoid those situations too! [Beer]
So I'm forced to watch CNN in front of my treadmill at my gym. The baby seal story comes up on the scroll. The scroll ends with (paraphrasing):
"A gun store cancelled Kelly's order for a semiautomatic rifle. Kelly has recently advocated for gun control"
This is another clear indication of the biased reporting of the liberal media. Note how they use the word semiautomatic rifle here, rather than assault rifle (which is the term Kelly and CNN use when they spew their anti-gun BS), and also note how it makes the gun store look petty for canceling the order, rather than Kelly look like the hypocrite that he is for the very type of weapon he doesn't want anyone else to have.

Not saying I like the guy. They need to go home and STFU.
Would this even be in the news if he was not a current media personality? Just more bottom feeding sensational journalism.
