Yea thats it attract the great white twords the beaches!
With the current population boom in the seal populations, I’m not sure they need to be rehabing them and releasing them back to the wild. I think they should let nature do its work. If a wounded fish washed up on the beach, they’d be more likely to bring it home for dinner. Wonder what seals taste like… mmmm…
