Highlights
We asked Lenie‘t Hart to write down her experiences
I fought with bigger “Lauwersmeer” found a sick seal
With the help of the local vet and René Wentzel I started to learn how to treat a seal, how to make fish porridge, how to administer medication and food. This humble start was the very beginning of what later has become the Dutch SRRC (Seal Rehabilitation and Research Center), an internationally famous seal hospital with an international scientific and veterinary advisory committee, more than 30 employees, hundreds of international interns per year, a long list of scientific publications, 9 PhD studies that lead to a dissertation and every year several hundreds of thousand interested visitors from all over the world
Summary
We asked Lenie‘t Hart to write down her experiences. This is her story: 45 years ago, I accidentally came into close to my house. I was interested in wild animals; I spent hours ter I had not to worry about seals. I fought with bigger “Lauwersmeer” (a part of the Wadden Sea not boys when I discovered that they mistreated far from Pieterburen) found a sick seal.
