Help us Save our Seals!
Wednesday, 04 February 2026
Nearly 50,000 signatures so far…Let’s keep going!
Since launching their ‘Save Our Seals from Flying Rings’ campaign last year the UK Seal Alliance has seen over 50,000 people adding their voices.
That amazing support is already creating momentum, with local authorities considering voluntary bans, retailers choosing safer alternatives, and public awareness growing about the very real danger flying rings pose to seals.
But we are not there yet. Reaching 100,000 signatures is critical to driving lasting change. Every name strengthens our ability to speak up for seals that cannot speak for themselves and helps us push for safer beaches and fewer preventable injuries.
Sadly, The Cornish Seal Sanctuary is frustrated to learn that hollow rings are still being found on beaches in Cornwall. A hollow flying ring was found on a quiet beach near to Gweek at the beginning of November by the Seal Research Trust’s volunteers, Elizabeth and her daughter Flo, whilst out for a walk with their dog.
Adult seals are often spotted in this area along with pups released back into the wild after rehabilitation by the Sanctuary.
Please sign and share the petition today. With the continued support of our community, we can reduce unnecessary suffering and better protect seals around our coast.
Thank you!
