STITCH - Rescued on 2nd December 2006
|
| On Saturday the 2nd of December 2006 the Seal Sanctuary received a telephone call from members of the public about a seal that was on the beach at Gwithian. As the team were busy with the seals in the hospital and the residents, they called on a member of staff who was off that day and went to Gwithian to take a look at the seal. Upon arrival at the beach they found the pup, and a call back to the Sanctuary, with information on it's injuries, the decision was made to bring it back to Gweek.
