Something Is Killing The Seals, and I Dont Know What Is Causing It. Usually I deal with babies, pups and sub-adults that are very weak and due to stress and starvation, seals if not treated goes into violent convulsions and dies. But this morning I heard heavy pounding flapping noises and found a big bull going into convulsions, before I could do anything he died. I suspect distemper virus from the mainland jackals in Namibia, caused by govt banning seals to the mainland to slaughter them, but whatever it is, it is killing all age groups, and I am struggling to save what I can. For a big bull to suddenly go into convulsions and die, is most unusual. Francois Hugo
