East Winch rescue team remove plastic ring around seal s neck that was there for a shocking amount of time  | Updated: 11:07, 07 April 2021 A seal has been rescued after a plastic ring was embedded in it s neck for two years. The seal, named Mrs Vicar came into the care of the RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre in Norfolk thanks to the seal rescue team, part of Friends of Horsey Seals. The adult grey seal had a rigid 2.5cm white plastic ring deeply embedded in her neck. The ring has been caught around her neck for around two and a half years, according to sightings, as seals are sadly unable to get rings off their heads once they are trapped in them. As she grew bigger it began to cut deeper into her neck and caused a 7cm deep wound, which had also become infected and was very smelly.

At least three seals have got flying discs caught around their necks in recent years, though the volunteers who rescued Mrs Vicar believe she got into difficulty with a component used in large scale pipework. Discs can become caught around the marine mammals’ necks, then cut into them as they grow bigger.
