On a beach in the town of Kuryk, in Kazakhstan, a group of tourists was filmed brutally attacking a defenseless seal just so they could take photos with it. 😞
The images show how the men beat the animal with sticks and stones until it was unconscious, while several people watched the scene without intervening. “They took it out of the water so the children could take photos and have fun”, said a witness.
After finishing the “photo session”, the attackers threw the animal back into the sea without even checking whether it was still alive. The case sparked a strong wave of outrage, especially because it would not be an isolated incident in the area, where similar attacks against wild fauna by irresponsible tourists have already been reported. 💔
