Seals at Hout Bay Harbour in South Africa were abused and exploited by humans for entertainment and money. Tourists paid for the rare experience of feeding and interacting with the seals, perpetuating a cycle of abuse. The Cape of Good Hope SPCA has taken legal measures to protect these seals from further distress, highlighting the emotional and physical cost these wild creatures pay for human interactions. This story serves as a reminder of our ethical responsibilities and the pressing need to safeguard and respect all life forms.
