To feel a bit sorry for Keith the Seal?

[Sparklingbrook]

Here. The seal has been living in the River Severn quite happily for a year and now they want to catch him/her and release into the sea.

All because the anglers are moaning. How many fish can one seal actually eat?

[CMOTDibbler]

They are misery guts Sparkling. I love the thought that the Severn is clean enough that Keith is living there happily

[MommyBird]

The anglers are just jealous that Keith catches more fish than they do

[Sparklingbrook]

Me too CMOT. I feel sorry for Keith. I hope he/she doesn't follow the fishy trail.

[Sparklingbrook]

I don't understand fishing though TBH.

[GreggsOnLegs]

Madness!
We need a petition!

Keith is female according to local paper.

[Sparklingbrook]

Poor Keith. I feel like going down there to save him from the anglers.

[sashh]

I hope Keith swims straight back.

[DidoTheDodo]

I hope Keith finds a sealy girlfriend and has hundreds of little Keiths.

[GreggsOnLegs]

Oh shit no time for a petition it's happening now, poor Keith :(

[Sparklingbrook]

One of the comments in the newspaper says he was eating ducks. Do seals eat ducks?

[GhostsInSnow]

Poor Keith. He can live in my bath if he likes.

Yep, she was eating ducks in Bewdley.
I eat chips and teddy grays when I'm in Bewdley

[SeaDevilscanPlay]

They want to shoot him :(

[Sparklingbrook]

DH was born in Bewdley.

[GhostsInSnow]

Signed. Just watch out to uncheck from a mailing list for whales before you submit! Sneaky.

[Sparklingbrook]

I am very confused by it all. is she really a nuisance?

[CMOTDibbler]

Its not exactly as if ducks are endangered though is it? Pike eat ducks, as do foxes and dogs but no ones getting rid of them (well, foxes maybe)

[Sparklingbrook]

I just can't imagine a seal eating a duck. I have a horrible feeling this may not end well CMOT.

[ProudAS]

It seems that anglers think they've more right to the fish (for sport)than Keith doing what seals do naturally. She won't find a mate in Worcestershire though.

She did disappear for a while several months ago - maybe went back to the sea before deciding she preferred Worcs.

[UsedToBeNDP]

She's a local celeb when she swims through.

[Sparklingbrook]

Have I left it too late to see her?

[UsedToBeNDP]

I don't know. There was a big drive to protect her when this plan was last mooted (8-12 months ago?). It's a real shame.

[ProudAS]

Depends if they catch her
