Seal with plastic ring around its neck for years finally rescued
- 3 months ago
A seal has finally been rescued after suffering with a plastic ring stuck around his neck - for six years.
Seal Research Trust volunteers have been tracking the adult male grey seal which had been caught in a blue plastic ring since September 2017.
The seal, named 'Commuter' after his routine trips up and down the coast of Cornwall had chosen inaccessible locations which had made rescue attempts by BDMLR (British Divers Marine Life Rescue) impossible - until now.
