R.I.P. Violet the Seal Pup...
A bit of sad news this morning. Unfortunately, little Violet the seal passed away yesterday at 4pm. We'd all been hoping that she'd pull through, but with too many injuries and being so young, she didn't have the strength to eat and make it through. We were all aware that she wasn't well, and although the best efforts were made by the team at the National Seal Sanctuary, Violet has now gone to the big inshore waters in the sky, which I'm sure is teeming with fat mackerel. But big respect to Dave Jarvis, Dan Jarvis, Andy & Michelle and the rest of the team at BDMLR and the National Seal Sanctuary for all their best efforts to aid a tiny little sick seal pup, caught in the rocks on a dark, quiet shore.

Oh no! Poor Vi =( Did they work out what kind of bites they were?
ReplyDeleteThey thought they were either bites from other seals or dog bites, so I'd reckon the former but you never know.
