Seal Sanctuary welcomes prompt slaughter post mortem

The Irish Seal Sanctuary has welcomed the prompt release of post mortem results following the recent slaughter of 60 grey seals on the Blasket Islands.

The results confirmed the initial findings on three different causes of death. They indicated that seals were shot, bludgeoned and killed with spikes through the head.

The Seal Sanctuary has welcomed both the statement from Minister for the Environment, Dick Roche, and his commitment to see justice done.

The group has vowed to continue to work with the authorities to bring the investigations into the incident to a successful conclusion.
