Residents of a small Greek island have expressed their outrage at the “deliberate killing” of a seal they had all come to love.
“The innocent and unaware seal was executed at close range with a spear gun that had a large spear for exactly that purpose,” local NGO MOm announced in a Facebook post at the weekend. MOm, or Monachus Monachus, work to protect the endangered Mediterranean monk seal.
