Erm, I beg to differ. We as a species have controlled nature so effectively there’s hardly any left.
Now hungry seals have to leave the empty seas in search of food elsewhere, just like cormorants have done. If you fill a still water with oversized and overcrowded fish and you can expect a starving predator to find them sooner or later. And it’s not going to want to move until there’s no food left.

Forget rescue attempt, where’s the harpoon gun.. this bugger is eating thousands of pounds of stock. Imagine his postcards ‘wish you were here’ ‘living the dream’ and ‘ five star all you can eat dining’ tripadvisor posts to his fellows seals. the reservoir remains closed.
All the R4 broadcasters can ask, does he have a name? Yeah but not possible to mention on air..
