Seal Pup rescued Skinflats
- last year
Seal pup rescued Skinflats, Falkirk.
Yesterday the rangers got a call from the Falkirk Explored walking group who came across a tiny grey seal pup in Skinflats.
Luckily a member of the public had called the SSPCA. The group stayed with the pup, protecting it from dogs and predators until the SSPCA arrived. The seal was very thin and exhausted and well away from the river on its own.
It was taken by the SSPCA to the Wildlife hospital in Fishcross where hopefully it will recover in time and be released.
Thanks to the SSPCA officer Kelly for her quick arrival and to everyone involved in getting this little guy out of danger.
If you come across a seal pup or adult seal you think may be in danger remember to : GIVE SEALS SPACE AND DON'T APPROACH THEM. DO NOT CHASE INTO THE SEA. CALL either the SSPCA 03000 999 999 or British Divers Marine Life Rescue if you suspect a pup is sick, malnourished, abandoned, or in some sort of trouble, call on their 24 hour rescue hotline 01825 765546
