Seal Left Helpless by Fishing Net
1,850,905
Published 2021-07-31
Antoine and Denzil immediately find entangled seals and they successfully catch them with the small rescue nets. Denzil's seal has a deep cut around his neck, a situation that has been all too familiar lately. Antoine's seal is actually a recapture, a seal that has been rescued before. The remaining scar has healed beautifully, but there is a good chance we will catch him again one day as it is difficult to spot the difference between an entanglement and a scar from a distance.
The third seal of the day is not suffering from a tiny fishing line, he has a massive green anchovy net wrapped around his body. There is simply no possibility that this seal would have survived very long. The net made hunting and even swimming impossible. Naude holds the seal while Tony unwraps and soothes him. As soon as he is free, he runs back to the ocean to start his recovery and have a good meal.
In the meantime, Wally and Denzil rescued another seal from snoek fishing line, a very worthwhile rescue run. 🦭

My daughter came in and ask me "How many seal rescue vids can you watch?" I said until they help them all! You all are rock stars!!
-
This is quite possibly the most rewarding job I’ve seen
-
I am truly jealous of these guys. I could think of no better way to spend my days than helping these incredible creatures. Why discovery channel isn't beating down your door for a show that would be an instant hit is unbelievable. May your feet be fast and your patients all survive.
-
The way the seal jumped when they got the green net off of him. He was so happy. You guys are amazing. And so compassionate. I can't stop watching these videos. You guys are heros.
-
Ive watched a bunch of these videos over the last 3-4 days and I'm always blown away by the sheer stamina you all have to be able to run so far and fast on SAND no less, thank you all so much for your hard work!
-
thank you Antoine, Denzil, Naude, Wally for cutting lines and removing nets. On behalf of all the seals you guys have freed, thank you for saving their lives. Many would eventually die from septic wounds or unable to eat. You guys are the seal angels with nets. Continue to free and release. Appreciate all your time and effort plus compassion in making sure all seals are not tangles
-
This looks like a very healthy seal population as far as numbers go. Imagine how many of those pups would have never been born if you didn't save their mothers and fathers from their entanglements. Great job as always.
-
Big thanks for helping all those poor seals.
-
Thanks, Antoine, for spotting this poor seal. How in the world did he ever make it back to the beach after being wrapped up so completely in that net?! Good work!! 👏😇🙏🌊❤
-
How polluted must our oceans be?? It is a shame for humanity.
-

Danke, ihr seid echte Helden. Danke danke danke, dass ihr allen helft. ❤❤❤❤❤
-
Can't see, can't feed, can't swim---can't live. This is so sad but OCN is there to make it right. Bravo!
-
It makes such a difference in my life to know you all are out there saving animals from horrible, painful deaths. Thank You So Much.
-
Спасибо Вам за спасённых животных!!! Вы герои!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Vielen Dank für euren Einsatz und euren Mut. Der Mensch müllt die Erde voll und zahllose Tiere sterben einen grausamen Tod. Bitte nicht aufgeben 🙏🥰👏👏
-
You guys are a credit to us all. The pain and suffering that you relieve these seals of is so rewarding to you all, I am sure.❤
-
Each kindness you give to these animals has a ripple effect around the world. By setting this example, others will respond in kind. Our planet needs more like you.❤
-
Wow, that last one was shocking - what a relief! These guys must have the eyesight of an eagle to see these tangled seals so far away. 💖
-
Awwww! Looked like he did a little happy dance! I LOVE YOU GUYS.
