Shocking images have surfaced showing a group of individuals beating a seal unconscious so their children could take pictures with it.
This horrifying incident occurred on the shores of the Caspian Sea in Kazakhstan, where a crowd of beach visitors gathered around the seal.
Some of them used stones and sticks to strike the defenseless animal. Truly appalling.
A report by the Daily Mail reveals that the men ruthlessly assaulted the seal until it became motionless, after which they dragged it out of the water.
Our lack of connection and knowledge about the animal world leads to such gruesome incidents taking place.

“Subsequently, they removed the seal from the water so their children could take photos with it and ‘play’,” a witness stated in the report.
“Following this, they tossed the lifeless creature back into the sea. I do not know if it survived.”
‘Incredibly friendly’
Seals are known for their affable nature and exhibit intelligence levels similar to dogs.
“Despite their strength, power, and sharp teeth, they do not display aggression towards humans. They may be playful, but they are always gentle,” as reported by the Outdoor Swimming Society.
The Caspian seal, a species inhabiting the sea, is among the smallest in the seal family and is classified as endangered.
This brutal and senseless act occurred just a week after a similar incident in the city of Aktau, located north of the site of this brutality.
The motives behind such cruel treatment of animals are incomprehensible and barbaric.
It is crucial to identify and prosecute these perpetrators. Please share this information.
