Cape Town’s Hout Bay harbor is being transformed by a movement against the cruel and illegal exploitation of seals for financial profit. The initiative involves strict regulations and penalties, including onthespot fines of up to R3000 for any act that disturbs the seals’ natural behavior. Public awareness and cooperation are necessary to eliminate the incentive for those who mistreat, train, and feed wild seals, ensuring a safer, more natural environment for them and a more ethical tourism experience for visitors.
