Baby Seal Entangled In Woolworths Clothing

Seals do not need clothing, there is no excuse why the owner of this piece of Woolworth clothing felt the need to throw it into the ocean. Manufacturers from around the globe use artificial wool because it is tougher than natural fabrics. It is essentially plastic. When it’s wrapped around a seal's neck, it acts like thin fishing line and causes a lot of damage. 🦭

All 3 of those seals were pretty angry about being restrained (and the birds didn't sound too happy, either), but I'm happy you saved them. Well done!👏

Three beautiful seals saved from harm, another good day for them and for ourselves. Thankyou OCN.🤗💝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@AryonaSamoto]

I love watching them hesitantly pop out of the net🤗 it's great to see them free🙌 Thank you all🙏❤

[@bho5sumkyul]

Great rescues as always. I hope all of those seal pups will grow up to be strong and healthy adult seals.

[@annemaclean6634]

This video, if we didn't know already, gives a snapshot into the rubbish that's in the ocean, pieces of clothing, nets, fishing lines, flippin' heck, guys, you've seen it all haven't you? These poor seals get tangled up in it and for all the ones that you've rescued, guys, and you do such an amazing job, inevitably there are seals that have sadly not been so lucky. Three great rescues, guys, you've freed these seals from all this junk which is fantastic. 👍😊

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Indeed, but we are unfortunately not solving the problem. The entanglements we remove from the entangled seals, is nothing compared to the amount of rubbish in the ocean. The goal of these videos is to show the consequences of this pollution and create a change to tackle its roots - namely our addiction to single-use plastics, the lack of law enforcement at sea and the shortcomings of the recycling industry.

[@annemaclean6634]

@@OceanConservationNamibia I have to say, until I subscribed to your channel and starting watching your videos, I had no idea about all this pollution, the extent of it and the effect it has on wildlife, particularly seals. Or should I say, I never really thought about it, which sounds dreadful, I know. Education and awareness is the key isn't it and more law enforcement, as you say. I just wish the people who continue throwing away fishing lines, ropes, plastic straps etc could see what damage it does. I know it must be a bit dispiriting sometimes, guys, especially when you're rescuing seals that have been entangled before, but at least you're there, helping so many of them, I think you do an amazing job.

[@ratmanmurray7137]

Doesn't that seal realize fish nets are not in style? haha You guys are a godsend to the seals! Greetings from Australia

[@nicklager1666]

Like so many other subscribers write. I really love the puppy talk Tony has with the seals. Not sure if it has any effect on their stress and panic level but maybe it does.

[@fannycraddock99]

Why can't people dispose of their rubbish properly! Poor seals. Thanks guys.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

The problem is a bit more complicated: what we throw away does not magically disappear. On the 6 billion tonnes of plastic waste generated since the 1950s, only 9% has been recycled and 12% incinerated. The remaining 79% has been dumped in the wild, much of it ending up in the oceans, torturing and killing millions of marine animals every year. We are unfortunately only treating the symptoms of the plastic crisis with our rescues. The goal of these videos is to show the consequences of this pollution and create a change to tackle its roots - namely our addiction to single-use plastics, the lack of law enforcement at sea and the shortcomings of the recycling industry.

[@RL-RL]

What a great day! Rescue one, then find three more! OCN is on point with these rescues!

[@ellenschneider7787]

As the chorus of birds in the background urged him on, little Snappy decided that he would take the raptors with him in case he needed them for future entanglements. He knew that a Leatherman was the best tool for the job! 😄🦭👍

[@ValerieSue]

Three seals rescued from 3 different materials that ended up in the ocean and 3 OCN dedicated rescuers giving them a second chance at living a full life with their colony. Thank you for the hard work and energy it takes to do a job like this. I must say though it has to be a truly rewarding job, knowing you have made a difference in this world. 💕🙏🏼💕 God Bless OCN and the awareness you bring to so many of us who did not know before seeing your KZbin videos about these hidden dangers in our oceans. May God continue to bless you all with good health and safety while you continue this work. 🦭💕🦭 PS …. On a funny note …. I think that last pup wanted to take that pair of Raptors with him/her to help with your cause. 😂

Ok, I barked out at laugh (at work) when the seal began biting the scissors and Antoine (?) said, "Well, that is new". I would have thought you'd have seen some sort of similar behavior from the seals if you put something in front of their mouths. Thank you for saving these 3 precocious babies!!

I had to google Woolworth's because it went out of business in the US in 1997! But, I see they still have stores in S. Africa... that would have been one old hat still floating around killing things on the other side of the world. Three more beautiful fiesty babies saved, thank you, Team OCN!! 💙🖤🤍

Running barefoot on the sand in cold weather, entering the sea with super cold water, running until you are out of breath with a pro camera in your mouth, and the most impressive thing is that eagle sight that everyone has to identify the seals tangled between every group that is normally very large, those are abilities that only super heroes have, but with the big difference and luckily for all those animals that you have rescued and for all of us who love what you do for them, that you are real!!! Thank you all for this amazing effort and dedication!!!
