Jason Trevor Godsiff had previously pleaded guilty to charges arising from the seal killings last November at Ohau Point, a popular tourist spot near the South Island town of Kaikoura, the Malborough Express reported.

The 19-year-old reportedly told police he clubbed the seals with a metal pipe because he believed they were pests. He was given a two-year jail sentence at a hearing in Blenheim District Court for willfully ill-treating protected animals.
