These heartbreaking images show a severely injured seal being strangled by plastic waste on a beach.  

The young animal was pictured in Pembrokeshire, southwest Wales, with plastic fishing netting tangled around its neck. 

The images were captured by Sharon Lawrence who said she was 'heartbroken' to see the seal in such distress.

This seal was found on a beach in Pembrokeshire, Wales, with fishing netting wrapped around its neck

The plastic litter was so tight that it had torn away at the animal's flesh and raw wounds were exposed

The 47-year-old, from Fishguard, took to Facebook to share photos and tell people what happened. 

She said: 'When I got home (as there's no mobile phone signal at Strumble) I got advice as to who to contact from the Strumble Head Seawatching Facebook page and rang the Sea Trust to inform them.

'They said that they would pass on the information to their 'seal guy' and hopefully get some help for him on the next low tide.

'It was heartbreaking to see the injuries that the plastic netting had caused. The poor seal kept raising his flipper to his neck - he must have been in a lot of pain.

The 47-year-old said the pup kept raising its flipper to try get the netting off of its neck

'It appeared that in this instance it was caused by some plastic fishing netting, but something like this can happen with all types of rubbish and plastic that is thrown away.

'I hope that people are starting to realise the actual impact of these thoughtless acts.'  

Ms Lawrence found the pup at around 1.30pm on Friday.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
