Exploring the why? Why do humans shoot at #greyseals when they eat the same fish fishermen are fishing.....
Titled: from the song, based on a conversation with Sue Sayer from Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust.
The skeleton 'Septimus' used for educational display purposes, revealed bullet holes through the bones and was on display during my first solo exhibition 'Conscious Earth', Heartlands, Cornwall.
The Seal will have swum in great pain.
Fishermen shoot seals to stop them from eating the catch.
Extract below taken from The Wildlife Trusts.
The grey seal is the larger of the two UK seal species. If you look at them you’ll see how they got their scientific name Halichoerus grypus – it means hook-nosed sea pig! These mammals spend most of their time out at sea feeding on fish. They return to land to rest and can often be seen ‘hauled out’, lying on British beaches. Grey seals give birth to fluffy white pups in the autumn. These adorable pups stay on land until they have lost their white coats and trebled their body weight.
