A boat crew near Madeira, Portugal, spots something strange floating in the ocean. When they get closer, they discover a terrified sea turtle, tightly tangled in plastic and in desperate need of help.
The compassionate crew refuses to leave him behind. Working slowly and carefully, they cut away the plastic without hurting him and prepare him for his emotional return to the sea. Just before swimming away, the rescued turtle appears to give his heroes the sweetest little thank-you wave. 🥹❤️

Just a little advice: next time, don’t throw the poor animal in front of the propeller.
🍀👍🍀 Děkuji 🍀💞🍀
Thanks for helping that creature. Thanks for sharing. Much blessings. 🙏 Lord-Jesus-Christ ✝c✝o✝m
If I could quit my job and assist helpless animals for the rest of my life, I would.
Careless humans & their endless trash. What could go wrong?
Bless you
Good job!
It’s our fault he got trapped in the first place!
💕
These are moments where I have to fight back tears. Thank you from the other side of this world, for your crew are truly heroes and will be rewarded by God someday. But for now, please know you are receiving prayers from this old man ❤
That was pretty dangerous releasing it by propeller.
Thanks
Jesus loves you
Throwing her by the motor blades was legit a low IQ move
Looking at what the marine animals come across, plastic, etc, i really do hate humanity,
Thank you wave lol. I heard somewhere that it also wrote a thank you note and sent 😉

Great video – great crew. Mr Turtle can return to his family.❤️
🫶👏😎🏴🇬🇧
Release him near the propellers 🙄
Kind men are the sexiest ❤️
Poor baby. The world will thank God when we're gone
We need much more of this kindness.
The single flipper flap indicates that this turtle had this wrapped around him for a long time. Its like a self imposed limp.
Thank you folks for helpong him out.
