Leopard seal shot in Northland

A leopard seal was seen sunbathing on a Northland beach and shot dead not long after that. A terrible, senseless act of violence. Hopefully someone knows who is responsible and reports to police.

Sea Shepherd has put up a reward for info leading to prosecution of the seal killer.
