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
Don’t know what to say – this is shocking and alarming. Is what-ever is causing their death in the fish they’re eating – why such a large amount of seals of all sizes dying off. Who says the fish thats in our sea is safe for consumption even by humans. Doesnt the dying seals give an indication that something is wrong in our oceans???
