'Blue' the pelican was found in San Pedro over the weekend with her pouch slashed by what officials believe to be a sharp object like a knife or machete.
A brown pelican found with her pouch slashed is resting comfortably after undergoing surgery at International Bird Rescue in Los Angeles.Nicknamed "Blue," the injured pelican was found in San Pedro on Sunday, March 10, by a sports-fishing boat. Those inside the boat immediately contacted the Marine Mammal Care Center.Officials said Blue's wound required more than 400 stitches.
Based on the type of injury, officials said that there is "strong evidence" that the slash was caused by a human who likely used a knife, machete or other sharp object to make the cut."I wish we weren't handling another terrible case like this, but the pelican is in the best possible spot with an experienced veterinary team who will make all the difference in her recovery," said the CEO of the bird rescue JD Bergeron.
