Skinny Seal Rescued From Fishing Line

Skinny Seal Rescued From Fishing Line
Spread The Viralist



“Chaos” – Naude forgot to switch on his GoPro, a seal he just caught gets stuck in the rescue net, and the other OCN rescuers are trying to find and catch more entangled seals. The rescuers are used to it, they can adapt their rescue strategy on the go. They have to, they can never predict what is waiting for them. Some rescues are quick and easy, others take a long time and are physically and emotionally draining. Today they are lucky, the seal is not hurt yet, there is no wound. He seems a bit skinny, but now that he can move again, he will hopefully find himself some lunch and build up some fat.

  1. ГРУСТНО СМОТРЕТЬ ЧТО ТАКИЕ МАЛЕНЬКИЕ , МИЛЕНЬКИЙ ТОЛЬКО НАЧАВШИЕ СВОЮ ЖИЗНЬ , ПОПАДАЮТ В БЕДУ ПО ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКОЙ ВИНЕ !!! 😢😢😢

  2. Прекрасное спасение!!!
    Благодарю за Ваши действия по спасению морских котиков!!!
    Можно увидеть Ваши спортивные тренировки? Как это происходит? Очень интересно!

  3. Aww! God bless the lil fella! Hope he gets to grow to be a big chunkamunk bull with his own harem! Thank you & God bless all you guys for the work & risks you take to save each & every one of God's creatures!

  4. Seal thoughts… Hey what dis loop toy in the water? I shall play with it. Aw dang, it's stuck. Now I'm hungry and dis toy thing sucks. Hey, why is dis hooman pulling my flipper feet? Wait, what? It's gone? These hoomans are da best. Must swim away! Now where da fish!!! 🦭🐟

  5. In other words people are just throwing they're fishing line in the water I don't know why that surprised me everybody else thinks the ocean is a giant dump! When People in most countries take out the trash they just throw it in the river which goes to the ocean 🤬! Whatever company is manufacturing the plastic Or ordering it should be responsible for recollecting it and reusing it💯

  6. 0:35 See? Now THAT'S how you're supposed to use that tool! Pulling diagonally through the string, not straight into the thickest part putting maximum pressure directly into a wound! The pull should be closer to parallel with the string than perpendicular. Well done to the red & yellow glove guy!

  7. May I suggest that the Governments of Namibia and adjacent countries should come up with a law banning the use of plastics and nylon fishing nets immediately !

  8. Lovely job. Been going back over your old videos, love your dedication to caring for the seals and marine life. 💖🖐👍from Queensland Australia 🐨

  9. The damage done by a single fishing line is detrimental to the environment. Every little bit of recycling helps!! ✨🦭✨💛🌍♻️

  10. Oh no. Hes a feisty one. Ya skinny. But Look at him go!!! Great job. We will forgive you this time for not starting the camera up. Lol😂 jk.

  11. Elephants in India often approach villages to elicit help from villagers with problems they face. I would like to think after a couple of generations of seals, they will come to us for help with entanglements.

    Great job OCN.

  12. Glad to see these guys just doing good in world . This should motivate everybody to just do good things that help out a little from everybody will add up . How ever you can .

  13. On my gosh seriously those strong baby flippers making that pattern in the sand as you pulled him up! So cute! Like "where are we going? … I'm not helping "!💕! Little darling. Very thin.
    That recreational fishing line!!!! Do people just cut it off? It's so awful , but alone "recreationally" people aren't really policed with fishing practices, it probably just relies on good will. I still advocate for people who fish to do it Ernie's way (of Sesame Street) No line or hook or pole nor net required! Just a good set of lungs to call them to the surface to jump into the boat hehehe😋 😝😋💗🐟🐠🦈

    10 seals!!!! In the morning so far!!!!?! That's amazing 👏🏻!!!! 7 seals with recreational line – gosh. How much of it is in the ocean?!? And it's really invisible too so they wouldn't be able to avoid it!!! Thank goodness they've got a dedicated team of humans looking out for them and their well-being! How many do you usually get in a day!? 10 already! 👌🏻 👏🏻 😍 🙌🏻 Keep safe xxxx 🦭💗🦭💗💕💖
