SEAL CAPTURED
PLACED IN WELLINGTON ZOO. f (Per Press Association—Copyright). WELLINGTON, "Tune 23. Some days ago a crab-eating seal' was discovered in Wellington harbour. Subsequently it was captured and was placed in the Wellington Zoo. Considerable correspondence has appeared in the local papers, urging that' the seal be released, since the zoo conditions are almost certain to prove fatal. Mr Burns, the authority controlling the zco, has been looking into the question. He affirms that the seal has a better chance of living in captivity than if released; to take its chance against !a food and attacks by killer j wh^K L Tnfvthese circumstances, the ipjip| authorities contend that it is reasonable to keep the seal and give it expert attention.
