The life-style of Britain's largest wild animal is filmed for the first time in intimate detail. The grey seal spends ten months at sea, where it can dive to 400 feet and stay submerged for 20 minutes. Then, during two fast-moving months ashore, the cows give birth, wean their young quickly, mate and put to sea again.
But the grey seal also has a public life: human fishermen complain about seal fishermen. What are the facts? And what are the pros and cons of last year's decision to kill two thousand Fame Island seals - taken, it is argued, in the interests of the animals themselves?
(from Bristol)
Shooting the seals - with gun and camera: pp 6-7.
