Protected seals clubbed to death at sanctuary

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Attackers wielding bats or clubs slaughtered two dozen fur seals, including newborn pups, over several days at one of New Zealand's most popular sanctuaries for watching the animals, officials said Monday.

Government officials condemned the attacks on the protected species as brutal and senseless and vowed to fully prosecute anyone involved.

The Department of Conservation said the bludgeoned bodies of 23 fur seals had been found at the Ohau Point colony, a rocky stretch of coastline near a highway that is a breeding ground for the animals.

Officials said eight pups — some just days old — were among those killed, and there were likely more juveniles that had died or would soon because their mothers were among those slaughtered.

It was done over the course of days, and it was not done for fur or seal meat, but for sheer kicks from what I can tell, and that's disturbing. I hope they find and prosecute them fully.
