Seal with ring frisbee stuck round neck rescued from Norfolk beach
The RSPCA says Hades is in a critical condition due to his injuries
A grey seal is in a critical condition - after being found with a plastic ring stuck around its neck on a Norfolk beach.
Hades is currently being cared for at the RSPCA's East Winch Wildlife centre after being discovered on Horsey Beach on Saturday.
He's the 11th seal in the area found so far this year entangled in a plastic ring - with the charity again urging people not to use plastic throwing rings on beaches.
Evangelos Achilleos, centre manager said: “We have had a real spate of entangled seals being brought to us after they have been found with items entangled around their neck - it is really worrying how many we have had to help this year already.
“Hades's injury is very concerning and it has caused just the most awful injury.
“It is always touch and go for the first few days with any entangled seal, because once the obstruction is removed a seal can then suffer from the toxins that start to spread in their body.
“We will do all we can to help Hades recover."
