This is probably the last recording you will hear of these amazing seals. This seal colony will be decimated by marauding low life people who will start by clubbing 90,000 baby seals to death and then start on the adults until they disperse. The reason is that this guy who lives like a king in Australia has the rights to kill these seals for his fur trade. he is the seal killer Hatem Yavuz.
The seal massacre starts on July the 1st. I recorded these sounds back in March of this year (2011) and was promptly arrested by the police because they do not want to have the publicity that Video and audio will bring. My media was confiscated but i managed to switch the cards while the police turned their back on me.There is a huge amount of sadness when i listen to this recording and a feeling of helplessness. My aim is to get this stopped and make aware to everybody that cares that we can stop the murdering of these endangered Fur Seals.

Martyn, I will never be able to convey to you how much I appreciate your work, even though it always makes me cry – tears of anger and hate!!! This is so very special… although the images that go through my mind I cannot share
The ‘word’ is spreading…..
Oh maaan, those seals don’t half remind me of our sheep back on the little welsh farm I grew up on.
I’m spreading the word about this scum of the earth!!!!! I HATE the fur trade and the GREEDY people that make a living off of it!!!! God help these seals!!!!!
