  1. I hope I am first to comment that this is indeed a very well photo-shopped seal. I did this myself from Ukraine, using a computer made from birch wood. The seal is not kept in cruel conditions, but is rather a giant aquatic rat that I have used the “smooth” function in photoshop to create the appearance of fins, much as the appearance of competitive elections is also possible!

    • iono, she could clean up pretty well i presume. I believe she might just be breeding them to get the fur… its probably going to get sick and die an unhappy animal. oh, and the seal doesnt look so great either, Oh snaps!

  8. The seal is safe. Unless it can be distilled into vodka, it will live long life with girl.

    The seal is like a big turkey. Americans would skin it and roast it, or grind the meat to make seal nachos.

    This has probaby taken place in the chernobyl area also known as ukraine, where radiation has degraded the brains of all local people.

  9. A seal goes into a bar and the bartender asks ‘What will you have?’

    The seal answers ‘ Anything except a Canadian Club’!

    Thanks, folks! Please tip your waitresses and bartenders, I’ll be here all week!

    Goodnight everyone!

  28. Seals get way agressive as they get older. they are hard to train and practically impossible to socialize.

    and yes, some will say what about walruses and sea lions.
    they’re quite different animals.

    • I agree. I guess human evolution has back-tracked for some of the not-so-lucky bad mouthed scumbags that we see here (very good real life examples indeed). They should, I think, be better off in the wild – oh wait, no, they’re worse than animals (animals can’t talk at least) – so even the wild is not a good idea for them.
      AND FOR THE PPL THEMSELVES OUT THERE TAKING FREEDOM OF SPEECH AS A MEANS OF USING FOUL LANGUAGE, I HAVE ONE THING TO ASK – WHAT’S IT WORTH TO YOU HURTING OTHER PEOPLE’S FEELINGS USING FOUL LANGUAGE?

  31. > My opinion – the woman is a animal vetrinarian and she is taking care of this injured/sick animal- its not her pet! Notice the way she is handling it in the picture! She knows animals as this is the proper way to handle this baby – my daughter told me this who is a vetrinarian.

    That’s exactly what happened, the owners are zoologists and they planning to release it:

  46. this looks like a Caspian seal; how amazing! this young woman looks like shreve stockton’s counterpart. (i refer to the woman raising the pet coyote in wyoming).

  48. i know quite a deal about photoshop and there is no way this is photoshopped. photoshop is not magic ppl… not always atleast.

  51. i!m american and i love animals i think the seal is cool i do not hunt or fish but i would buy wild stuff in the store to eat if they offered it but these days most stuff in stores is farm raised everything from game animals to fish but i would think to have a seal as a pet you would need an abundance of whatever they eat in order to have a balanced diet
