The seal was brought ashore where she was found to be pregnant. A very disturbing photo then depicts the said fishermen holding the dead calf after it was cut out of its mother's womb.
Unconfirmed reports state that the mother was already dead when caught and the fishermen had attempted to save its calf through a c-section.
"Soon they will tell us that there are national interests more important than just a pregnant seal, but I tell them that we, as citizens, know best about what is more important to them.
"If you were aware of the importance of the seal in Lebanon, you would have done more to protect it [sic]," fisherman Nazih El-Rayyes said via his Facebook account.
More details as soon as they arrive.
