Gap-toothed lunatic wanted for repeatedly stabbing baby elephant seal on Oregon beach

A baby elephant seal was repeatedly stabbed on an Oregon beach – and now federal officials are on the hunt for the gap-toothed lunatic behind the twisted attack.The adorable pup, which miraculously survived, was viciously knifed multiple times in a beach cove in front of the Proposal Rock Condominiums in Neskowin between 8 p.m.and 11:30 p.m.

on March 16, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries announced Monday.The seal was treated by the Marine Stranding Team before it was relocated, officials said.Investigators have a description of a person of interest and are asking for the public’s help identifying him.Authorities described the ruthless attacker as a white man standing at about 5 feet 10 inches with black-and-white hair, a groomed beard, and a “large gap” between his front teeth.A witness told federal officials the suspect was sporting thick-lensed aviator glasses, dark pants, a thin blue-and-light-green fleece top, and a low-profile black cap with a logo depicting an orange four-track excavator with the word “timber” on it, according to NOAA, which also released a sketch of the stabber.The barbaric assailant was also wearing lightweight hiking shoes and a lined checkered shirt.A cluttered dark blue 1990s Dodge or Chrysler van with plastic covering the rear passenger window on the driver’s side was also seen near the scene, NOAA said.Violators of the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act, which prohibits harassing, harming, killing or feeding wild elephant seals, face incarceration and up to $100,000 in fines.Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the NOAA Enforcement Hotline at 800-853-1964. Tips can be made anonymously....
