2006

2008  2 shot and killed (up to May). Including a pregnant female 3 

             weeks from pupping

We have selected 2 seals from the colony that we wish to adopt..

These seals have had quite different lifes and for various reasons are easily identifiable... We will monitor these seals and track their daily well being. These seals have existed quite happily in the Loch for the many years and so far have avoided being shot by the local salmon farm...... We will notify Marine Harvest that we are monitoring these seals on your behalf, hopefully this will be enough to protect them from a needless premature death at the hands of the local seal shooting enthusiasts...

In 2004 the fishfarm manager was shooting seals on Sundays, his day off!!!  not even in company time?
