Sea lion pulls girl from pier in Richmond, British Columbia
Bob Beziuk, a general manager of the harbor, told PEOPLE that sea lions will engage with visitors if they are fed - but they're still risky wild animals. He added any parents with small children should not let them near sea lions, seals or other wild animals. " They were pretty shaken up ", he said. " If you feed the animals like this, you're asking for trouble ", he said.
