A post-mortem examination conducted by the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme suggests the animal was killed deliberately.
A pregnant seal was brutally killed after someone deliberately shot it in the heart with a rifle, a post-mortem has revealed.
After the discovery of the bodies, local conservation groups spoke out against the killings and launched an appeal to find those responsible. "This adult seal was in very good nutritional condition at death and was also pregnant with a two to three month term fetus," Deaville said."It had been reported stranded along with another common seal and various reports linked the deaths to shooting."
After the killings, conservation charity Sea Shepherd U.K. offered a reward of £3,000 to anyone who could provide information, photos or videos that could lead to a prosecution of those involved.
