Is this any different to the fact the humans do every few months too?

And then they try and say seals don't have a impact on fish stocks🐟🐟🐟

You write this as if we should feel sorry for the cruel fish farmer, breeding otherwise wild animals, swimming free in the oceans, cooped up in tiny pens, full of disease and should hate the nasty seal who shouldn't dare take an easy meal. Sad journalism.

Seals doing Seal shit 🙏🙏

Bet they were pesky EU seals

Not being funny, but the fishing industry has hammered and overfished removing the seals natural supply of food, so they're hunting for what they can find.

Humans should not be eating fish, and certainly should not be farming them

Fish farming is as unnatural as keeping hens in a battery. In both cases their usual predators go berserk when so much prey is penned into such a confined space. Diseases spread like wildfire in these conditions too.

do you mean seals ate the food they always eat? Why have you written it like this? In other news: heavy rain is discovered by 'major' study to be 'wet'

Any idea what seal steak tastes like?

Impeach them

Bloody French seal.

Brexit seals?

The seals

I hope they weren’t happy British Salmon!!

Like every other animal they need to eat to survive, and if you stick a ton of salmon in a convenient location they'll eat them. Seals survive the coldest harshest waters. They have every right to eat. The way this is being reported by most MSM is so missing the point.

Why didn’t our newly won sovereignty stop this catastrophe?

OMG they are fish that didn’t belong to you.

Good for the Seals.

Was it the US Navy Seals? 🤣

Well they're never gonna survive unless...

Sturgeon will label the seals brexiters

Were they EU seals, after Happy UK fish?

Can't believe they went from Bin Laden to this
