Seal Pups Released After Long Road To Recovery

Three seal pups discovered washed up and close to death have been returned to the sea today after a successful rehabilitation period.

The pups have been in the care of the MSPCA for the past 6 months, regaining their strength thanks to a diet of herring fillets, antibiotics and vitamin pills.

Jenny Corran from the MSPCA spoke to Granada Reports and said she is sad the time has finally come to say goodbye to the three baby seals, affectionately nicknamed Coley, Pollock and Haddock.
