Sick vandals mount heads of two seals on Dingle reserve

There are some serious sick fcukers out there

THE heads of two young seals have been mounted and stuck to the sign of a seal sanctuary.

The grim discovery was made by staff at Dingle Wildlife and Seal Sanctuary in Co Kerry shortly before 9am this morning.

Ally McMillan, animal manager, said the freshly cut seal heads had been nailed to a piece of wood, which was drilled to the sanctuary's sign.

Red paint, which resembled blood, was used to scrawl the words: "RIP Cull."

"It was sickening," said Ms McMillan.

"I wanted to be sick when I saw them.

"We were very worried because we have two seals here at the moment that are about ready to be released, but it wasn't them."

Gardai in the fishing port town have removed the seal heads and signs as part of their investigation.

It is feared they were targeted by people who want the sanctuary to close and who believe seals are destroying the local fishing waters.

Dingle Bay is also famous for its eco tours and cruises to spot seals, whales and the country's most famous dolphin Fungie.

The two dead common harbour seals are believed to be about six months old.

The alarm the raised by a man from the area passing the site who called the volunteers and said there was something on the sign.

Ms McMillan believes the seals were shot, but added there were no wounds on their heads besides the nails.

She said she is not opposed to the culling of seals when carried out humanly.

"I am from Australia and we cull kangaroos if there are too many, but there's research done first," she added.

"If they did that here and did proper research and counted seals in the Irish waters and found the population too high they could be a cull humanly.

"For people just to take it in to their own hands and club or shot a seal is sickening."

I'm sure they found traces of seamen!

Just saw this is the article it could be the same genius who protested about the arrival of the golden sea eagle thinking they would destroy our livestock. This country has an attitude that animals are here to get in our way and must be deystroyed at all costs. Until we change that attitude well be stuck in the past.

This kind of treatment of animals certainly wouldn't get PETA's seal of approval.

I think they decided to change it back again because the locals complained that the tourists would be confused.

There is no species more disgusting than humankind. Normally I'd wish these ******* are found and punished, but since there won't be any adequate sentences for animal cruelty anyway let's rather hope they'll have fatal accidents caused by some animals.

True, a potential brutal serial killer is in the making in Kerry. Animal rights, what rights?

Dingle - the town which puts seal heads on pikes and clubs baby seals

I can just see the tourists flocking there now!

This has been going on years down there and should have been sorted out by now - if they think a cull is needed assess the situation properly and see but there is no need for what these people are doing.

These are working men and knew exactly what they were doing

Steddyeddy I'm right behind you on that! I don't get the Irish attitude towards animals. It just proves a hard heart. The Chinese have a bad reputatation for cruelty but the attitude of most here isn't far behind. Its the human animals that need culling!

EllyT

Oh boy, my hackles are going up! I don't care if it is fishermen or whoever. If it takes a murder to get a message out it sure isn't a very literate one! It has only bought about confusion so far! Wakey wakey!

CJ 'looked after' the locals. Say a bad word about him there and you'll get sorted out.

She said she is not opposed to the culling of seals when carried out humanly.

"I am from Australia and we cull kangaroos if there are too many, but there's research done first," she added.

I think this attitude is almost as bad to be honest. Nature and wildlife were getting along perfectly well before humans came along and decided they had to interfere in everything. Who is she to decide that there's "too many" of a certain animal?

flutterflye

Bit odd alright.
I'm not too distraught though.
Just hope that they killed the seals quickly so they didn't suffer.

Well, if they eat all the available food sources then smaller animals can't survive. Big roos don't have that many predators, apart from man.

I lived in dingle for a few years....
The local fishermen are honestly a bunch of red necks, they hate tourists and outsiders.

Whilst there, there was a nail gun culling of new born baby seals .... And fishermen grinning from ear to ear over the reaction.

The premeditation involved in this is the scariest part for me.

No, they weren't for the most part. Imagine yourself as an animal, a non-domesticated one - it would be a cautious and mostly terrifying existence every bloody day.

It is, we never said it wasn't.

Apart from the act of killing the seals, it's barbaric to display the heads. It was done purely for shock value - it's amazing how some people get their kicks.

Nature sorted itself out for millions of years before humans came along and decided it was up to us to decide how many of one species was 'too much'.
If you're going to worry about one species of animal eating more than their share of food and being a threat to other species then you might as well start culling humans, especially white Australians as they aren't indigenous to their land.

I probably phrased that badly. I'm not saying animals have an easy life. My point is that's how nature works. Sometimes some animals thrive while others don't. It's been happening since the world began and that's how evolution works. If it didn't happen we wouldn't be here.

The biggest problem animals have is humans introducing foreign species into the environment. For instance grey squirrels are largely thought of as 'vermin' in Ireland but it was humans that introduced them here.

Oh ok, thanks for your attempt at enlighting the ignorant masses. You seem to be on a roll recently, as seen by your infarction for correcting grammar in another thread.

Gallows humor, as defined by the website referenced, does not cover your post in any way. It was not "in the face of, and in response to, a hopeless situation" and it certainly was not funny. From what I can see from your post, you seem to be looking for a cheap laugh.

Seals beheaded and displayed. Great stuff altogether.

This sh1t is getting to be an epidemic. Was walking down the street there and some sick fooker had the heads of two dead baby pigs stuck up on a spike in the window of his shop. Another b4stard had a load of dead fish thrown onto a table outside his place with a bucket of ice scattered around them, probably just to keep the sicko show going for longer. This displaying dead animals around the place has to stop, it's putting me off my Veal.

Yes, because that's the same. I'm sure there is a word for this kind of post too.

Because transporting one problem and moving them to another area where people will find them a problem aswell may result in same actions
