Baby Seal Drags Net

It's hard to watch this baby seal's fight for his life. He does not know that we are here to help, and that we want him to live a long healthy life. He is skinny and vulnerable from dragging this huge piece of a trawler net around. The net is wrapped around his neck and stuck in his mouth, he soon would have starved or suffocated. It takes just a few snips with our Leatherman Raptors, and the little pup is free to go. For the first time in a while, he can dive and swim and do all the things a little seal pup should be doing at his age to prepare for adulthood. 🦭

That's shocking..the sea is just a dumping ground..there's no respect or thought for their home..Thank you for being there.

[@TheKrisg50]

It’s interesting that the seals aren’t as alarmed by a boat coming at them from the sea as they are to you coming from the land. Well done.

[@KnittingSkole]

I think the seals must be less worried in the water because they can swim so much faster than they can run. They know they're more vulnerable on land. Jackals sometimes come after them on the beach---maybe some other predators, too?

[@dixiedoll9944]

He can eat now! Imagine how awful it would be to be stuck in that! OCN, you are the heroes of the ocean! 🦭💙

[@eileenentler8993]

The ONLY good thing about such a long trail from the entanglement of line, or netting, or whatever the poor seal is trapped in, is that it gives the OCN team members something to hold onto to slow the seal down until they can net it. I'm glad those horrible death traps were removed with no damage to the pups. SO thankful for such an AMAZING team doing such INCREDIBLE work.

I have learned so much by watching these rescues. For one thing reduce and eliminate plastic use. But with the things I haven’t yet eliminated I make sure nothing is in the shape of a circle. So no wildlife can be entangled. Cut ALL loops. And then reduce to nothing our plastic use. Thank you guys for rescuing ALL these sweet creatures! I’m promising to do better! Love you OCN!!
