A Seal, a Road, and Humanitys Inevitable Failures
Seriously? A seal? Wandering through New Jersey? Is this what we’ve come to? Wildlife now feels entitled enough to disrupt our commutes? I mean, I get it – the beaches are crowded, the water’s probably full of plastic, and let’s be honest, everything is a disaster zone these days. But taking a nap in the middle of a road? Thats just… rude.
Apparently, the Marine Mammal Stranding Center had to rescue this creature from, wait for it… traffic. Traffic! As if we weren’t already dealing with enough nonsense. I picture the scene: dedicated professionals, risking life and limb (probably wearing slightly damp uniforms) carefully coaxing a blubbery mammal off asphalt. All because nature decided to stage an impromptu protest against urban sprawl.
And dont even get me started on the pictures! Adorable little seal face plastered everywhere, eliciting coos of sympathy. People are rooting for this seal! As if it’s some kind of heroic underdog story. Its a seal that chose (or perhaps was simply lost) to lie down in the middle of a road!
I fully expect squirrels and pigeons will be demanding their own rescue missions next. Just another day, another crisis manufactured by our increasingly chaotic world, requiring specialized intervention because apparently wild animals now have rights to disrupt rush hour. Fantastic.
