Not paying attention to the frolicking of the little cubs, Chen Ying verified the facilities and the living conditions of the seals with the rescue personnel using the documentation, and then saw the two staff members off.
Only after the rescue personnel left did the elderly couple next door come over to help clean up the food scraps and other trash around.
"Chen, there are two tourists who want to borrow your place for photography, probably aiming to take pictures with the seals. We didn't agree and suggested they contact you directly."
Taking pictures with seals is one of the daily tourist activities in coastal seal living areas, but in many places, fishermen, to ensure tourists pay with satisfaction, would use wooden sticks or other objects to strike the seals, making them temporarily unconscious, and then throw them back right after the photos, without considering the potential dangers.
