Few people actually care when Latin American people get massacred but Latin American animals still get our sympathy. 53 sea lions, 13 pups, 25 youngsters, nine males and six females, were found with their heads smashed in on Pinta island, part of the Galapagos Islands, about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes the sea lions are killed and mutilated. The skin are hunted for, and the teeth and genitals of the male animals are removed for use as a supposed aphrodisiac in Chinese medicine but their was none of that here, just someone who wanted to kill animals.
