That Cup was bullshit

Hey guys, if you're a fan of pinnipeds you've probably heard about Neil the Seal. Well, that's an understatement, he's one of the most famous seals around right now!

But, he's been getting too much attention lately, tourists are flocking to him to the point where authorities are considering euthanizing him if he becomes a danger.

I'd like it if you'd sign this petition to get Tazamania's local government where he lives to instate a non-lethal management plan to ensure his safety:

Sign the Petition

Implement a non-lethal management plan for Neil the elephant seal

It costs nothing and it'd mean a lot! Thanks!

Wrote this and my comment was immediately deleted and I was smugly blocked - how rude, and stupid since this is the exact coversation that needs to be had to brainstorm a solution! @fibsh-awards

"The issue with Neil (whom I love btw) is that he is still a growing juvenile. He will grow to be a 4-tonne adult male who will fight what's around him because that is his natural behaviour (he is already practice sparring)

He comes on land in a populated area. If he starts to break fences and endanger people and pets on their own properties (or takes too much more of an interest in the nearby fuel station!) then something will need to be done.

He can't be redirected because he will keep coming back more pissed off as that is his territory

He can't go to a sea life place because people will cry it's cruel

He can't be relocated to a colony because he wouldn't have a fair chance at survival since he hasn't had the necessary social interactions and couldn't defend himself against stronger males. Also the issue of bird flu.

If/when he becomes a real danger he will need a proper management plan (which I wouldn't count on because local governments couldn't manage a BBQ)"

Everybody loves him, but we need to be real about how to manage him and that is why these facts need to be discussed

But I guess I should have expected someone who can't fact check that he lives in TASMANIA to be too concerned about facts.

As I stated before: a post with a petition for the opposite stated goal is not the place to have this debate. People who don't want him to be euthanized don't need you concern trolling on a post trying to support less lethal means. With all due respect, piss off.

if you’ve ever used this seal gif, you’ve unknowingly supported japan’s only seal specific marine mammal rescue and research facility!

the okhotsk tokkari center and seals sea paradise are two seals rescues on the coast of japans northernmost island, hokkaido. they’re practically the center of the town of mombetsu, the main force of tourism there. the name tokkari comes from the native ainu word for seal. every year, the seals come to breed on the drift ice in mombetsu and its surrounding waters. tokkari and its extension seals sea para have 28 permanent residents 4 ringed seals and 24 spotted seals. every spring they also take in many pups for rehabilitation and release. they go by @/tokkaricenter_official on instagram and aguhiyori for seals sea para. it’s very hard not to end up with a favorite resident..
