Woman Confronts Teenagers Torturing A Baby Seal, Gets Punched In The Face
Meet 25-year-old Sarah Tough, a young woman who was tough enough to try and stop a group of vicious teenagers torturing a baby seal to death – even if that meant getting punched in the face. She was walking her dog earlier this week on Crimond Beach in County Durham, England, when she spotted the crime taking place. The woman wrote: “Got punched in the nose by some little smack head because him and his pals were torturing a baby seal on Crimdon Beach, rolling him around and burying it in the sand, letting their dog on it.” Tough commented to Bored Panda: “Told them to “f*** off or I’d call the police.”
Even after being hit, the woman managed to call the RSPCA. “[They] got there in record time and gave him some food. He’s fine but very scared and exhausted.” She added: “I have a nose piercing and the punch meant that my piercing punctured my septum. The rest of them started to laugh when I was hit.”
“Luckily it’s not broken but there was a lot of blood and it was like a searing hot pain. It’s still sore now. I’m not so worried about myself though, I’m just glad the seal is safe.”
A woman named Sarah Tough just stopped a group of vicious teenagers from torturing a baby seal to death
“Told them to “f*** off or I’d call the police.” Then they assaulted her and punched her in the face
Most importantly, Tough saved the seal! Now it is safe and sound, and the woman is recovering from the injury

FYI - that comment about youths not knowing what they are doing is BS. They also assaulted her - did they not know that was not ok too?
The only thing that is not okay for nowdays kids is low baterry of their precious smart phone. Kids these days are pretty smart and they KNOW what they are doing and they love it.

Great courage Sarah. But don't forget to ensure your safety by including a spray can of mace, or perhaps a small club for defense,..........just in case. Thumbs up Dear! ;D
Not sure about the legality of carrying mace, Totally legal to carry mosquito repellant....and if you ever accidentally got that in your eyes you know it is painful.

I really hope they get arrested. Psychopaths always start by torturing animals... I admire her courage so much!
i hope they go to jail and get beat up so they learn a lesson
Load More Replies... Sarah Tough you are f***ing legend! I know I and so many others wouldn't have been able to do what you did but you did. You're awesome
I understand what you are saying but sometimes you have to overcome your fear and do what is right even if it means you get punched. I wouldn't have been able to walk away from such a scene and I by no means am a hero or a tough guy. I just know that I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't help the baby seal or any other animal in such a position.

What happened to the teenagers? They might go around torturing more animals or attacking the good people that try to help the animals. They should go to jail for life, or at least experience what the seal felt.
I wouldn't say jail for life, but still a punishment and maybe some therapy

Well now there is a place in hell waiting for those little shits that would do that to the defenseless animal! Woman power to you
What kind of horrible people would beat up a seal, then hit a person for calling them out?
LUCKY ME AND MY AKITA RAMBO DIDNT RUN INTO THEM. I WOULD GLADLY GO TO JAIL FOR BEATING THE S**T OUT OF TEENAGERS TO SAVE THAT SEAL. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU! MY HEART HURTS FOR HUMANITY
Great self control. If it happened to me, those folks were going to eat only soup for the rest of their lives.
Yes Sarah! Those kids need some serious help by the sound of things!
You can carry a spray dye, which takes weeks to wash of, so even if the run off they will be easy to identify.
I cant believe kids these days have the nerve to punch a woman who is older than them! Ok , id understand shouting some insults at her and running away (still not acceptable, but teenages are shitheads anyway)...But PUNCH?! A WOMAN? Hope the little fucktard gets caught!
Not only in England children are bad, some boys in Czech republic tortured flamingos in a zoo, broke one's leg and it died. The little devils were caught and I am very curious about their punishment as they were 5,6 and 8.
That is horrible!! If I were their parents, I threw them into juvenile jail myself.

Just to reinforce an earlier post, body spray or perfume in the eyes is just as effective and the carrying of it legal. Well done Sarah.
Call the police first, then the RSPCA. Little shits like that are one step from killing you. They need to be in a prison.
Tough... Sarah Tough... Sounds a bit like: Bond... James Bond... WAY TO GO SARAH!!! And thank you to Magpie for the repellant advice!
It would be sweet to see their asses in federal court for violation of the Marine Mammals Act, and in civil court for assault and battery.
You are my hero ! I hope those morons rot in jail and get molested by other inmates.
Sarah, you saved the seal, your a hero !!! I hope those little teenage Bastards are caught and get their just deserts. There is no defending their actions... I hope they get attacked by a mob of viscious seals.
What a brave and kindhearted lady,I want to bitchslap those shitheads for being so cruel,then bury them in the sand.
Shouldve taken a picture of the punks so they could be tortured too! They actually deserve it
It's hard to imagine just how awful people can be......to torture a helpless animal and then continue by mistreating a human trying to do the right thing!!! So glad there's a happy ending here.
I know you were trying to do a good thing, and it is applauded....but with all of this women's equality thing going on, be ready when you step up to a man or testosterone filled boys, some regardless of who or how you identify will respond the same. Take some self defense lessons, just food for though. Either way good Job!
i'm so sick of dudes and their hateful, violent garbage. boys/men torture baby seals and break to punch a woman in the face. sigh.
How are they not arrested? Sarah, this small act of kindness makes a big impact. Go Sarah!!!!!!
This is what you get for being the hero. Been there, done that. Humanity is doomed, most of it is scum. The ones that are not get beaten by the scum. Great future ahead of us...
Great job Sarah. More ppl like you and less ppl like those teenagers. Still I would like to hear the news, that they got arrested. Assault on you should be enough.
F*** them is right! How dare thy torture such an innocent animal like that!
This is a lesson in calling the police first. It's their job and they don't want you getting punched in the face (or worse).
WTF... the teenagers from this time are all fu..ed up...torturing for fun... onething is certain, Karma is a b***h!!
Not all of them. Did you miss the articles about students making every colleague's day on Valentine's Day last month?

And what's going to happen to the complete arsehole thar did this? If he/they are capable of torturing a seal and punching a woman, then who knows what they're capable of
You have restored my faith in humans! Thank you for what you have done for that poor little seal! This world needs more people like You!!!!
Thank You. I hope the seal realized you tried to help and not ALL humans are that way. Not that that mattered much to a tortured seal. Breaks my heart! I'm sorry they assaulted you too for doing the right thing.
Wow, a real shame no one was there to smash their ugly faces in with a baseball bat. I'm talking really fu**ing smashing their teeth in. Awesome Sarah!
I would have done the same thing........please, please tell me those little PUNKS got punished! Losers!
for now. but they will be back to hit your nose again and this time kill the baby seal
You go girlfriend!!!! Any person who would harm an animal would definitely harm a person. FYI
Bravo Sarah! you are a hero! I just wonder if those a******s were arrested...
I think this woman is a brave saint! If everyone was equally brave and decent, this world could be a paradise!
These animals need to be identified, tortured in the most horrific manner possible, and killed, but only after unimaginable suffering. Not kidding.
I would willing torture and kill these teens if they can be identified. Im not kidding.
that baby seal on the picture doesn't look safe and sound...it looks dead....
Perhaps if she had only told them she'd call the police and / or make them see how the baby seal was suffering the results could have been totally different
You Sarah, are a hero! Thank you for standing up for this poor little seal. I hope that seal is ok :(
Good for you!! I'd do the same! I just wish they would've gotten punched in the face!!
This makes me soooo angry. Why do people have to behave like that? Animals have feelings too. Thank you Sarah for standing up for what is right.
God bless you Sarah! Your one in a million! Thank you for saving the Seal!
Sarah, you are awesome. We all need to take action just like how you did.
What the hell is wrong with some people. Those teenagers will continue to assault people and animals. They should be locked up and the key thrown away.
What kind of terrible person would torture a seal???? I'm glad she stopped them!
thank you for saving the seal. only a few would do that. brave heart!
Shoot, wasn't finished with post - you are so awesome!!! You were meant to be there and save that sweet seal.
I will never understand the motive people have for doing things like that
Go girl!!! Bless you. People like you make the world a better place. I hope/wish those ratty boys get either a beating or moral rehabilitation, preferably both.
There is no baby seals, there is seal calfs in the nature. The word baby seal are disney childhood word. Please talk like adults, not like kids.
Dave, What the f are you talking about? You have this reversed!
