Baby Seal Covered In A Net

Imagine this seal trying to swim and get some food. The net covers the entire seal's body, including its flippers, making it difficult for it to move in the water. Eventually, this baby seal would have died of either starvation or drowning. No animal/person wants to be restricted in such a manner. Who caused this situation? The fishing industry is entirely responsible for this, and nothing is being done to punish those responsible. We must put more effort into stopping the problem instead of just dealing with the symptoms.

~ 🤍You need to target the schools, villages, or churches on this matter. Educate them as well as you are doing here on this platform. If you get to the people you get to the issue at hand. Remember to always cut the plastic on the soda holders as well. Peace out ~

[@AryonaSamoto]

It's great to see that no damage was done to either the bull or the pup🤗 It's nice to see a new team member, congrats on a successful first rescue Jason🙌 Thank you all🙏❤

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

Don't forget that the rescuers also came out unscathed! This is dangerous work in more than one way. The team always puts safety first, for all concerned. :)

[@arcenciel2968]

Naude, your biggest achievement is that you managed to recruit, form and direct this group of highly capable and profoundly dedicated people that will continue your dream. The fact that they already can substitute for you in every occasion, is the reward to your own professionalism. Congratulations, Sir.

[@sarahmills7878]

Very well said. 👏

[@sirmeowthelibrarycat]

😀 I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment 🥇!

[@dianacryer]

Absolutely!

[@PossibleLifeLines]

Arcenciel: Naude being able to build the non-profit strongly enough to pay his staff adequately is also a primary achievement. Major forces behind that success have included 600+ saves a year fot 3 years, more than just daily videos communicating with the worldwide public, and heeding the concerns the public have for wildlife preservation.
