West Seattle wildlife: ‘Easter seal’ pup ‘Bunny,’ and a followup about ‘Sandy’

Yes, West Seattle had an “Easter seal” today (By the way, the original Easter Seals are still around.) Jen sent us the top photo of a pup on Alki this morning, watched over by Seal Sitters, whose Robin Lindsey told us tonight they nicknamed “Bunny” – because it kept popping up all over the place! Robin shared a photo too:

Robin also calls our attention to a story published tonight by our partners at the Seattle Times, following up on a sad story she broke last week – also reported here last Monday – the death of the rehabilitated pup “Sandy,” found tangled in old fishing gear in Edmonds. The Times story quotes a conservation group as saying more than half a million sea creatures are killed by lost/abandoned gear every year.

    Bunny is pretty cute!
    Sorry about Sandy that is very sad. But I feel like she really is doing a good job letting us all know about the junk in the water. Her life was not in vain.

Sorry, comment time is over.
