Has anybody PROVEN that humans snuggling with baby seals (or other “wild” animals) and loving on them and snorgling them is bad for them? Heck, we snorgle baby puppies and kittens all the time and their moms still love them and they’re accepted by the dog/cat community, right? I volunteer to help them try this. I’m serious!

Heartbreakingly cute and sad. I want a job with Marine Rescue!

I was freaking out so much over how cute this is that my husband started laughing at me and my daughter thought I was nuts!

this should go under “cute or sad?”.

psssst- you hear that?? listen carefully…….that’s the sound of my heart exploding because of this enormously cute little fur ball here!

OMG! That is the cutest thing I have EVER seen! I just want to pick him up and snuggle with him. Those sad eyes…….Oh I can’t take it. I must pick him up and hold him.

seal lovers, look at what is going on in Namibia:

he is so sad because he is alone, with no stimulation of touch, vision, smell, sound, anything.
Except when they are feeding him or doctoring him, he is left alone.
alone in a blue box, nothing to look at, mournfully hooting and sucking on himself for comfort.

If thst isn’t Cute or Sad, I don’t know what is. the sounds would be heart breaking if he wasn’t in the capable hands of the Vancouver Aquarium staff… heck, it’s still heartbreaking.

the barking scares my cat…
