Officials at the Steveston dock in Richmond B.C. are flabbergasted by the appearance of dozens of tourists to the spot where a young girl was pulled into the water by sea-lion Saturday. Signs have been posted warning people to stay away from the water and not to feed the wildlife. Bob Baziuk. the general manager, says he is stunned by the performance of people. “Unbelievably, last night there were about 100 people down there, mostly tourists, maybe some of them locals, picking up their kids and holding them over the water looking for the infamous sea-lion,” he told CBC News on Monday. Video of the child being yanked by the shirt into the grimy water has been viewed more than 14 million times. Marine experts and port officials have sent out a slew of warnings, reminding the public to keep a safe distance from the animals. Video — Girl dragged off wharf by sea-lion a scary moment in nature
