I can’t help smiling at this story of Nelson the seal who wandered into a fishing lake and won’t leave
He’s scoffed all the fish and must think he’s at an all you can eat buffet! No wonder he wants to stay and is dodging capture, they’ve already tried twice
I do feel sorry for the poor lake owner, who is losing money and all his fish stock, of course
And Nelson is slightly injured and the lake is fresh water, not salt, so he does need to be caught, looked after and taken somewhere else
They’re going to try again today, meanwhile he must think he’s in seal heaven!
I saw this on the TV news.
What a little plump cutie.
I do have sympathy for the owner of the lake watching his fish stock and income disappear.
Mature fish don’t come cheap.
I understand there’s already been a failed attempt to remove the culprit.
Another is planned.
So sad, they killed him when they tried to get him out
They couldn’t get him in the nets, so they had to use a tranquilliser gun, even though it’s known to shut off their “dive” reflex so they breathe in water and drown
A difficult decision but I suppose they had to try and remove him
