The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating an apparent illegal walrus hunt off the Alaskan coast.
Dozens of walruses appear to have been mercilessly gunned down off the Alaskan coast.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service received an email with pictures detailing the carnage: 25 dead—some decapitated—including a dozen dead babies.
The walruses were likely killed for their ivory—many were missing their tusks.
If so, that's illegal under federal law which provides that walruses can only be slaughtered in a non-wasteful fashion and only by Alaska Natives.
Anyo
