A beach goer has expressed her outrage after children threw stones at a seal before a woman grabbed the animal by its tail.
Donna had just been for a swim in Hornsea on April 18 and noticed the seal in the water. It then went up on to the beach for a rest but she could not believe it when a group of youngsters began harassing it.
She said: “I was absolutely shocked to see that as it came to shore some children around 12 years old started throwing stones at it.
