As we are now in the thick of the grey seal pupping season, we wish to share this comparison image again and share some important information regarding pups! If you are out on beaches in the coming weeks, keep your eye out for seal pups in distress. Stormy weather and human activity by means of boat traffic, as well as people and dogs on beaches can sometimes frighten away nursing mothers and inadvertently lead to pups being injured or orphaned. Remember: - Do not put the seal in the water. (Injured, sick & newborn pups are on land for a reason) - Do not disturb them – observe from a distance. - Do not touch pups (these animals can bite, and human scent may lead to mothers abandoning otherwise healthy pups) - Keep dogs and children away. - Contact us for advice! If the pup is on its own with no mum in sight; obviously injured; or if unsure please ring the Dingle Wildlife and Seal Sanctuary on 066 915 1750. Thank you.
