MPX5088238: The Seal Slaughter Begins. A shot echoed out across the waters of the Wash, off England's East coast on Tuesday (10-7-73), and a baby seal fell dead. It was the first of 380 seal pups doomed to be slaughtered in the next two weeks. That is the death toll that the Government, which controls the annual cull of common seals, is permitting this year. Their pelts will be used to make sealskin coats. What's left goes into pet foods. Angry animal-lovers and conservationists had hoped to stop the killings. But the team of hunters with. 22 rifles avoided a confrontation with would-be saboteurs by sailing out of the Lincolnshire village of Sutton Bridge at an unexpected hour. Government observers on board the hunters, base-vessel Mizpah, and a Press party on another boat, saw killings that were quick and clean, made by hunters operating from speedboats. In five and a half hours, the hunters had shot and skinned fifty-five seals, which could fetch up to £500 at fur auctions. The grim harvest... three buckets full of seal pelts are landed at Sutton Bridge. July 1973 / Bridgeman Images

MPX5088278: When will we ever learn? A seal lies dead on a bright blustery beach not for from families enjoying their summer holiday. It is a seaside snap from Norfolk that should shame the Government. Experts say our seals are being killed off by a deadly distemper virus. And their immunity is being lowered by the millions of tons of chemical waste being poured into the North Sea every year. The pollution crisis is highlighted by the case of the poison-packed ship Karin B, which was turned back from British ports yesterday. Each tide brings more victims to the shores where seals used to delight children as they splashed and played. Their bright eyes are dimmed and their shiny coats dull in death. Paul Vodden of Greenpeace forecast, "We are talking about a ecological disaster, perhaps the biggest ever to hit Europe' wildlife." Disaster.... The seals are dying every day.
