Their ambition is to always try and release the pups back into the wild when they are able and well enough. See the video of the pup release (link below).
If you see a seal pup apparently abandoned do NOT approach but call the rescue centre. The mother may be nearby but unable to come near because of human activity.
We have other videos and information on Cornwalls seals as well as a video of a seal pup release at Porthtowan beach
