From sentencing re the seal incident in front of 45 tourists:
"Campbell Savage, appearing for Hore, said his client needed no deterrent sentence.
"There is simply no way he will ever do it again."
He agreed with Mrs Stevens that the publicity had acted as a strong deterrent."
"During the group's return to land about 4pm, the boat went within 15-30m of the shore and the three defendants started shooting at rabbits on the cliff, said Mr Kessick.
They then saw seals on the beach and cliff and started shooting at them, sending the mammals fleeing for the water.
A member of a 45-strong tourist group viewing wildlife on a nearby beach caught the incident on video. At least 15 shots could be heard on the video."
