Dispute Delays Aid For Wounded Maine Seal
A gunshot wounded seal bleeds on a Boothbay Harbor beach for 14 hours as state wardens, bound by a new federal law, cannot help. Sea and Shore Fisheries Commissioner Appolonio eventually intervenes, taking the seal to a lab after dark. Local officials report multiple recent seal shootings with no clear motive.
