It's #InternationalAnimalRights Day, a time for remembering & advocating that kindness & respect should be shown to all sentient beings.

I'm thinking especially of the #greyseals I encountered during my journey round Britain's coast while researching & writing #WhereTheSealsSing and of the many human-induced threats they're facing, from #marinedebris to toxic pollution.
