St Mary’s Seal Watch shared footage of people throwing rocks at a seal and forcing it to jump off a nearby cliff in the hope of raising awareness of problems wildlife face.
Three people were seen moving a sign at St Mary’s Island Nature Reserve in Newcastle on Saturday (June 9), then filming themselves as they threw rocks at one of the seals on the reserve.
Throwing rocks at the seal caused the animal to panic and become distressed. The seal made its way to the edge of the cliff and jumped in to avoid being hit.
The group then turned their attention to the other animals in the sanctuary.
St Mary’s Seal Watch shared footage of the event on Facebook, hoping to raise awareness for the horrible treatment the wildlife can face and mentioning that this was not the only instance of rocks being thrown at the seals.
