The body of female sea lion pup Rua was recovered by the Department of Conservation on the Otago Peninsula last weekend. Mr Dickens said the story of the sea lion death came up as a Google alert. Seals of Nam would liaise with relevant authorities, and upon successful conviction "gladly transfer the funds".
