How very sad indeed about this Seal.
I wonder if it is based on ignorance? The thing about "cuteness" overcomes people and they may not know or realise the wild animal that looks so "cute" is endangered by their overwhelming attention.
Some animals can't even escape or run away. Maybe some people see this as a sign that the animal wants to be with them? Sometimes it's a sign that the animal has given up hope or is even feeling unwell from too much fuss.
I don't know. But this selfie craze is truly horrible, for more than one reason.
