Relashio was rescued on 18th March 2018
|
Relashio, male grey seal pup, was rescued on 18th March 2018 from Burnham beach.
He is a prime example of the horrors being careless with our waste can create.

 |
With a sharp jagged Air Filter trapped around his neck, Relashio has received a deep gash on the underside of his neck.
He most likely became stuck in this when he was younger and as he has grown it has cut into him over time.
|
Sea Life and Vets were able to remove the Air Filter and are closely monitoring and aiding this seal´s recovery.
The Animal Care Team hopes that with Relashio´s injury, members of the public can learn the importance of cleaning up our waste.
