The owner of a popular fishing lake has told how his business has been left devastated by a ravenous seal which so far has chomped its way through £3,000-worth of his stock.
Frustrated Nick North has been forced to shut his business to anglers for three weeks after the hungry seal moved in and started snacking on dozens of carp, bream and catfish.
The mammal has so far evaded two attempts to capture it and is also believed to be snacking on the local duck population.
