This Baby Seal Was Rejected By His Family. The Reason? My Heart Shattered.

This story has a happy ending, but before we get to the fairy tale conclusion, prepare yourself for a heartbreaking tale in three…two…one…

Once upon a time, a precious baby seal was born. This seal was special: He was an albino. And this genetic trait bestowed him with a gorgeous, spicy-colored ginger coat and big, bright sapphire eyes.

Yet, despite being the fairest seal in all of Seal-donia, Land of the Flipper-ed Cute Ones, he was shunned for his beauty. He was like the Rudolph of the seals. All of the other seals used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Ginger join in any seal games!

Eventually, the poor little beaut was rejected by his mother and left alone to die.

She didn’t even care that her helpless red-furred seal son was also blind…

So there he sat, alone and cold in the dark. He hid and waited for his mama to come and feed him.
