The notorious seal-cull takes place annually along the eastern seaboard of Canada. The most reliable estimates suggest that it accounts for around one-seventh of the newborn population.



Monday's pup is fleet of fin.

Tuesday's pup is sleek of skin.

Wednesday's pup darts in the deep.

Thursday's basks on the shore asleep.

Friday's pup cavorts in foam.

Saturday's pup swims far from home.

But the Sabbath pup is marked for slaughter,

Never to sport in the sun-dashed water.
