A heartwarming story of animal rescue unfolded on the shores of Fleetwood, Lancashire, as a dedicated RNLI crew member sprang into action to save a stranded grey seal. The incident, captured by a colleague, showcases the crew's commitment to both human and animal welfare. But here's where it gets controversial... While the seal was indeed tired, the decision to release it back into the sea without a thorough medical examination raises questions about the protocol for handling such situations.

So, what do you think? Should the seal have undergone a more comprehensive evaluation before being released? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
