NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.—In response to more than 32 Brown pelicans being attacked somewhere along the coast of Orange County, a GoFundMe page has been established to assist with the costs of treating the birds, all who have been taken to the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach.

In addition, the Animal Legal Defense Fund announced this week that it is contributing $5,000 to a reward being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for maliciously attacking the birds.
