Beheaded seals discovered on Kerry beach

The carcasses have been found by a member of the public at Banna beach. 

There are approximately 8,000-10,000 grey seals and about 5,000 harbour seals in Ireland. File picture.

Beheaded seals have been found on Banna beach in Co Kerry in recent days.

Speaking to Jerry O'Sullivan on Kerry Today, Niamh Stephenson, who lives in the area, said the discovery was "pretty disturbing" and wanted to raise the issue as she has come across dead headless seals on two occasions in the last two weeks. She also recently found another headless seal carcass at another time before.
