Yellow Legged Gulls aren’t a common sight around the centre, and when this one was brought to us, it was in quite a tangle!
The vet team quickly discovered that the entanglement was worse than we thought…
An X-ray would discover a large hook in the birds throat, leading to difficult, life saving surgery!

Thank You all you wonderful people for this. Most would probably just put the seagull down, but not you all. Wow!
???
Well I think all fisherman commercial and weekends need to pay a high fee to fish so part can be available for rescuing marine life from human rubbish. Commercial fishermen 10x higher. Why because no one is held responsible for the damage done on sea life. Nets hooks trap and kill so many
I can’t imagine the amount of internal bleeding that caused
I love Maru's excitement after the successful operation, so energetic! Glad she's part of your team.
Amazing human being!
Seagulls are evil little bastards and I hate them, but no creature deserves to suffer. I'm glad you were able to help him so that he can return to terrorizing the public like a proper demon bird should.
Amazing work by Maru!! Thank you for saving the gull's life!
It'd be a more effective way to teach gulls not to eat 'strange' things than people in general…
The vet is so cute!!!
Great rescue, it's great that there's people like you who fix problems caused by other people to animals who wouldnt otherwise receive any help.
獣医療も進んでますね
Wow the sun shines right through that guy’s nostrils! I have no idea why that amazes but I seriously had no idea that was how it worked
This is one of the reasons why I do something called magnet which is using a high powered magnet on the end of a rope I pull out tons of fish hooks and fishing line sometimes plastics more bikes than I can remember and lots more things that the wildlife gets stuck in , keep up the good work your are doing an amazing job ???
Last year me and my 2 friends were walking around funny enough we happened to be talking about the business we want to making when we are older called EADAL which stands for Every Animal Deserves A Life. I want to be a vet so I was going to double that one of the others likes business so she was going to run the business and the other wanted for save the animals. But when we were planning we saw a seagull it was running around trying to flush but one of his wings weren't moving the others were scared of the bird biting them so I spent about 1 hour trying to get it into a cardboard box that we put holes in so it could breath after a while a man asked us what we were doing and he helped he told me to get the box and be ready to put the lid on he took his jacket picked up the bird Andrew and put it in me and my friends then carried the box back to their house in called the DSPCA but they said well would have to wait time the next day but all of us have dogs and didn't want to risk them hurting it so we took the car and brought it to the local vet they said they would take care of him and let him go when the vetinary nurse told us it was a boy we named him schull I really hope the vet kept her promise and let him go when's he was better
Sorry this was so long
All because some people treat the planet like a private litter bin.
VET AT THE HIGH HUMAN LEVEL
MILLION THKS SIR !!
I love what you do! So many would just put down an animal if it isn't an easy fix. You guys do proper repairs for the aminals. I wish there were something like this in Sweden!
Annnnd there's an empty water bottle floating in the water at the end. SMH
🙂
Wonderful ending!! ???
Another amazing rescue ? such a great team ?
Thank you so much! I really hope you guys keep up the good work. I like watching your Netflix series and YouTube videos A LOT!
Thank you for showing the whole rescue story – with the release of the animal at the end. Very satisfying after all the hard work that you guys put in to fixing the seagull. ???
Good job ?
The animal angels to the rescue once again ! To my favourite English rescuers WILD LIFE AID A very Merry Christmas and a bountiful , safe and New year and we pray that may the animals in need of rescue become lesser ❤❤❤
Sad to say that this sort of thing gets shown on the media so often but stil people discard stuff that endangers animals, including our pets.
God Bless!
That veterinarian doing the surgery is JUST LOVELY! What a beautiful personality and joyful spirit.
Wow, good job! I was afraid you were going to say, "The hook was too far down, and sadly, we had to euthanize the bird". So glad you saved it! Yay!
Great job
Great job helping the seagull?? Thank you for the post and your care for these critters?
?? tks a lot
The gull looked like, "What? No more free meals? Oh, well, easy come, easy go."
If you throw away hooks, just take pliers and break of the end, and cut the line in short pieces even if it gets to lay around somewhere it won't get entangled or hook anything
man you can really feel the gull embrace that lake when he was let free, he was damn happy to see you put him back where he was before, its like that moment he realized you guys just hooked him up. haha that pun 😀 3:39
Seeing this poor gull hurts my heart. We used to do a lot of coastal fishing and, unfortunately, saw this kind of threat all too often. We were always careful with our gear, but some aren't. Spent many an hour cleaning up the beaches with bags and bags of deadly fish line, lures, sinkers, plastic bags, wrappers and straws. Screamed myself hoarse at thoughtless people more than once, fat lot of good it probably did. Rescued our share of hapless creatures and vet bills at our own expense. It's so unnecessary. Pick up after yourselves, People!!!! PLEASE!!!
Told all his friends he was abducted and had a probe removed. One friend said, "Now we KNOW you're lying, because abductions always include having a probe put IN you!"
I love your work!
I'm really glad they didn't just decide to put the seagull down. Great job everyone!
It's nice to see y'all saving my most hated bird on the planet. Despite my hatred of these evil, sadistic birds, they' don't deserve an unnatural death like from eating a hook. May he live on to be splatted by a large truck, or maybe just to fat to escape a dumpster as it gets dumped/crushed into a trash truck. That's the dignified death seagulls deserve, not suffering like this.
