Kn1GHT_AX Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 A seal left with deep wounds after having had a white plastic ring stuck around its neck for two and half years has been released back to the wild "Mrs Vicar" was finally captured on Horsey Beach, near Great Yarmouth, in Norfolk, on 4 April. After three months of of antibiotics, pain relief and care at the RSPCA's East Winch wildlife centre she was strong enough to return to the wild. She was released into the River Nene at Sutton Bridge in Lincolnshire. The adult grey seal had been spotted with the ring around her neck but she kept evading capture. As she grew, the rigid ring became more embedded leaving her with an infected wound that was 7cm (2.8in) deep when she was taken to East Winch.
