91直播视频seal pup release garners media coverage
, and on July 23, 2010 reported on the 91直播视频Marine Animal Rehabilitation Center (MARC) seal pup release. This harbor seal pup release was MARC's first of the summer season. All of the three released harbor seal pups were neonatal, only one to two days old, when they were brought to MARC.
The care for the seal pups was especially expensive. Keith Matassa, MARC's Coordinator, decided to reach out to the vendors with which the center does business. Oakhurst Dairy responded positively. The company donated approximately 10 cases each of cream and cottage cheese, with the estimated value of these products to the rehabilitatiion center being $3,000.
Matassa credits the healthy, hormone-free Oakhurst Dairy products with helping to bring the pups up to a healthy weight. "It's a great product," he said, and added, "the dontion has helped out so much." Matassa said the dairy products are an important part of the food mix, which includes a variety of healthy oils and vitamins, fed to the pups that closely replicates the natural milk of the mother seal.
In addition to the staff and volunteers of MARC and representatives from Oakhurst, there were approximately 100 people attending the seal pup release. "There are more and more people here supporting us, which is nice," says Matassa.
