SOUTH AFRICA’SSHAMETHE SEAL HUNT PRESENTED BY: FRANCOIS AND NELDA HUGO SEAL ALERT SOUTH AFRICA
“EVERY LIVING CREATURE HAS A REASON FOR BEING, AND WE MUST RESPECT THAT REASONING.” Minnie Shea, 1941
A CALL TO BAN GUNS ON FISHING TRIPS TO SEA. THIS WEE FELLOW WAS SHOT IN THE SHOULDER AND LEFT TO DIE. HE IS NOW OUR OFFICIAL MASCOT AND WE’VE NAMED HIM: GELUKU.
BABY SEALS CAUGHT DURING A TRAWL ARE DUMPED OVERBOARD. ONE LONE SURVIVOR STRUGGLES TO CARRY THE BURDEN OF HIS FOUR DEAD SIBLINGS.
SHOT SO MANY TIMES IT’S A WONDER HE’S STILL ALIVE…PAIN MUST BE UNBEARABLE.
NEWBORN BABY OFF TO THE VET FOR TREATMENT OF ITS BROKEN FLIPPER.
BACK TO THE SEA FOR RESCUED PUP, NOW CALLED POPEYE… THANKS TO HIS HUMAN DAD.
I CAN’T STOP YOUR GUNSHOT PAIN, BUT I CAN LIE BESIDE YOU AND OFFER SOME COMFORT.
BULL SEAL BEING FREED FROM FISHERMAN’S NET, ENTANGLED AROUND HIS NECK…GENTLY DOES IT. LOVING HANDS WORK MIRACLES.
HELP FOR A STRANDED BONE-THIN FEMALE THAT CAME ASHORE…LUCKILY SHE WAS FOUND BY FRANCOIS!
HER FIRST FISH IN A VERY LONG TIME; THE GROWING PUP IN HER BELLY MUST BE GLAD…HE NOW HAS A CHANCE TO BE BORN.
A LITTLE LOVE GOES A LONG WAY, WHEN SAVING A SEAL.
INSTANT WILDLIFE CONTACT AS NATURE INTENDED.
YOU CAME TO MY RESCUE AND NOW I THANK YOU WITH A SEAL’S GENTLE KISS.
JUST RESCUED, THIS WEE GAL SETTLES IN FOR A NICE RIDE TO THE VET FOR HELP, SO THAT SHE CAN ONE DAY RETURN TO THE SEA WHERE SHE BELONGS.
WITH A LARGE FISH HOOK IN HIS MOUTH THIS YOUNG SEAL DIDN’T HAVE MUCH OF A CHANCE FOR SURVIVAL.
A YOUNG SEAL LEFT TO SUFFER AND SLOWLY DIE…WHY IS THIS NOT A CRIME?
THE LARGEST ISLAND IN SOUTH AFRICA THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE CAPE FUR SEALS. EXTINCT & BANNED
INSERT DEPICTS THE OFFSHORE ISLAND LAND ALLOCATED TO SEALS THE RESULT MASSIVE OVERCROWDING & MASS DROWNING OF NEW BORN PUPS LARGE ISLANDS, EVEN ISLANDS NAMED AFTER SEALS, ARE NOW EARMARKED FOR EXCLUSIVE SEA BIRD CONSERVATION. THE RED ARROW SHOWS A TINY ROCK ISLAND THAT THE SEALS MUST USE. IT’S HARD TO SEE, BUT IT’S THERE.
MASS DEATH OF NEWBORN SEAL PUPS NO GROWTH IN 30-YEARS ON THESE OVERCROWDED AWASH SMALL ROCKS. SEAL ISLANDS ARE JUST 1% OF ALL PROTECTED OFF-SHORE ISLAND LAND.
THESE SEALS WERE RESCUED ALONG THE 3000 KILOMETRE COAST LINE OF SOUTH AFRICA. SADLY, THE FISHERMAN’S MOTTO IS: THE ONLY GOOD SEAL, IS A DEAD SEAL.
