Seal Legislation (Scotland):
Legislation comes into force today (January 31st 2011), in Scotland, that makes it an offence to kill any seal at any time, unless holding a specific licence or for animal welfare reasons to end suffering.
In addition to outlawing unregulated seal shooting, the seal provisions under the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010 will also introduce a new licensing system and introduce a number of seal conservation areas around Scotland.
