Petition demands protection for Neil the Seal
More than 60,000 people have signed a petition demanding authorities guarantee a non-lethal management plan for Neil the Seal, an elephant seal in Tasmania. Concerns have grown that authorities may be forced to euthanase the animal if crowds continue to get too close. A security detail now maintains a 24-hour watch while Neil remains on shore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
