Cornish Seal Sanctuary

Not a good day for photography but a very interesting day at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary. This rescue and rehabilitation facility has been helping seals (and other animals) since 1958. The staff are particularly busy this time of the year as it is grey seal breeding season. Unfortunately it is not unlikely for some pups born on our beaches to be separated from their mother, injured, sick or orphaned. The Seal Sanctuary’s animal care team is on call 24/7 and thanks to a quick response, expert veterinary care, and a seal hospital on site they are able to save the lives of pups that would not survive if left in the wild.
The Sanctuary’s ultimate aim is to return all animals back to the wild. It is, however, also extremely committed to providing a good home for those less fortunate who are too sick or disabled to go back.
