Dear CNN,

Thanks for showing me video of a poor little seal that was washed away in the hurricane, from the place where we were holding it in captivity, for our amusement.

I fell in love with the poor little thing who was, at the time, being splashed with water by awesome people who were trying to keep it alive until it was rescued.

And then thanks for UPDATING the story, by telling us that the cops decided that rather than splashing the seal with water until it could be looked at by PROFESSIONALS who deal with seals, they would shoot it in the head twice to "put it out of its misery."

Hope that you are never in a situation where somebody thinks that you are miserable and shoots you in the head.

Yeah don't you think they could have just left out the shooting in the head part, you know, stopped reporting on the seal sitch?"

Well said.

Sensationalist bastards.

Fox has been worse...they keep showing black people looting Walmart and talking about how evil they are. You see the connection, right? Fox says black people (looting) are evil... not much emphasis on the "looting" part, if you get my drift.
Talk about disgusting.

Someone please save the seals! They're too cute to die!

Walruses, on the other hand... meh, they're too ugly. Let 'em starve.

Animal-based media sensationalism. Gotta love it.

OMG, are you kidding? That is horrible!!! I am always hearing about law enforcement shooting some poor wild animal...Uh, I believe they were here first. That cop should be fired....

I saw that too. It made me feel like throwing up. I can't believe they did that. Poor seal.

Wouldn't have it been better to just release the thing and let it take it's chances in the water. After all, it is a fucking sea lion.

Oh you'd think.
