Community rallies behind abandoned seal pup

An abandoned day-old seal pup has inspired the creation of a Go Fund me page to pay for his rehabilitation.

Ron was orphaned by his mother after being prematurely born in Strand Hill, Sligo several days ago.

Seal Rescue Ireland co-ordinated his rescue and transport to its specialised centre in Courtown, Co Wexford where he arrived dehydrated and malnourished. He weighed 8kg.
