Today a harbour seal leapt four feet out of the water to grab a 5-yr old girl off a wharf in West Vancouver, where her father was cleaning fish and where she had been feeding the seals scraps earlier in the morning. It grabbed her hand and dragged her underwater. Her father heard the splash and thought to himself that she had fallen off. She had her life jacket on so he thought she would pop to the surface and he pluck her out, but it was several seconds before the seal tired. She eventually popped up coughing and bleeding and was taken to hospital a bit traumatized. She told hospital staff that she thought it was very rude of the seal to pull her off the dock without asking whether she wanted to go for a swim first, and that she declared that it was no longer her friend and she wouldn't feed it fish anymore. Smart kid.
