You are nothing short of amazing ... Thank you for all you do

[@lilacat5638]

Jak dużo zwierząt cierpi przez nas. Wasza praca nigdy się nie skończy. Jesteście dobrymi ludźmi

[@j4v4x]

Heartbreaking 💔 So many of them would die alone and in agony without OCN. Thank you for saving their lives!

[@carlavanherrewaarden6451]

💔The fact you found 6 entangled seals within minutes, while going in 'blind', breaks my heart, but also shows your amazing skills. I'm so grateful to you all, for having saved these pups. THANK YOU!🙏❤️🦭

[@apveening]

It makes me wonder how many they miss.

[@geewill]

Same thoughts exactly!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ OCN!

[@haggielady]

Took the words right out of my head.

[@bonnieallen5902]

All bountiful thank you all for being kind to them❤😊

[@christine3627]

Everyone captures a pup to free from truly terrible wounds created by the entanglements of human carelessness. If the seals could properly thank you I a, sure they would, instead they pause to look back, just before they run back to the ocean. Thank you all for your continued compassion to rescue the seals from certain death!❤

[@suehiggins9073]

I know you try and keep count of how many seals you rescue, which is an amazingly high number, but one thing you cannot measure is the amount of pain and suffering that you have stopped and relieved for these beautiful, sweet, innocent animals. Thank you OCN for everything that you do! Your services are invaluable to the world.❤🦭

[@4july99]

So many baby seals so seriously entangled at such an early stage in their lives is just awful! Thank you for saving them 👏🏻

[@gladysedgell2410]

That was heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹 to find that many pups while going in blind. The wounds were horrible. Thank you for saving them.♥️🦭🌊✌🏻

[@thomasglessner6067]

The wounds are horrifying. Thank you for caring.

[@fannyfayvintage7668]

Even if you can't be saving seals, pick up litter everywhere you can. Litter is deadly in wildlife.

[@krista2216]

Beautiful, you got so many seals in one run. Thank you so much for rescuing these precious lives ❤😊

[@Paradigm-change]

This just shows how important your job is. Going in blind like that and finding such severe entanglements. I really am grateful for you all doing this job because they're already suffering, they don't need to suffer more without you all being there to help. Thank you for your work and commitment ❤

[@GaiaLoki16]

Thank you rescuers, 🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭camera crew. 📹📹📹📹📹📹You all are 🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽

Anyone else in tears especially from 5 minutes in . Thank you for trying to correct all the damage mankind had done❤. X

[@maryg3143]

So many very bad entanglements today! Thank you very much for being there for them! ❤

[@lambinwolfsclothing]

So sad to see so many innocents hurting so severely. As much as my heart aches for the poor victims of human carelessness, it also swells with hope because teams of rescue heroes like you live in the world.

[@nicklager1666]

So many seals that get the help they need. So glad when you have days like these.

[@electronblue8334]

Oooh, some really severe wounds there. I'm always in awe of Denzil's speed and determination, seems like no seal is able to out-run him.

[@AZ_actual_voter]

That was heartbreaking to see. Thank you for saving them!

[@marigeobrien]

It hurts my heart to see them in so much pain. Thank you, OCN team for all you do.

[@posnrg2u327]

Breaks my heart that so many are suffering due to humanity being so callous. Minimal time and effort required to dispose of garbage properly vs a beautiful creatures life.😢 Thank you team OCN for all you do to aid the seals. ❤

[@hniziolek4884]

Please support their Patreon ! They do such great work 💕

[@PatricesProjects]

While saving that many seals is great to watch, it is also distressing that you caught so many in one blind run. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@tonif2500]

What ALL of you do for sea life is AMAZING! Your the “ANGELS OF THE SEA!” Thank you from ALL of us who truly appreciate everything you do! 🥰🙏💕

[@yamnjam]

All those seals must feel SO much better!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Indeed 🙂

[@いもむし-h2h]

最初見た時は追いかけて捕まえて残酷な事してると思って見ていたら凄く良い事をしてたんですね❤ありがとう感動しました。頑張って下さい👏

[@ellenschneider7787]

Seal #1 was so thankful that the looong line was removed that he just wanted to hang out for awhile to thank his rescuers. Tony had to shoo him off for the salt water portion of his treatment. Well done everyone! 🦭🌊💙

[@mjgenualdi22]

You wouldn't think the little "Fers" would be so fast and strong. I'm glad they are both, but they sure make you work to save them. Thank you for continuing to do that!!!

[@luciebrisson5881]

From the thumbnail, I thought one seal was entangled in a sort of braided dog collar only to realise, viewing the video, that it was actually exposed flesh and blood. So sad. He must have suffered so. Many terrible wounds on this day. Thank you OCN for saving so many and doing it with care and gentleness.

[@ellenschneider7787]

So glad that the team found so many patients in such a short amount of time-yet so sad that there were that many patients who needed to be found😢

[@anitasyvalahti1730]

So much crowded! Poor injured puppies 💔💔. Thank you, men for rescuing the puppies from distress ❤❤. I know it's not easy. I appreciate your work ❤💚❤.

This is a skill we wish we never had to develop, but we are unfortunately very experienced by now.

[@user-kk4lt6kq8x]

It’s absolutely horrible that these innocent pups get life endangering entanglements, but they are so lucky to have your team looking after them. Great job. ❤🦭

[@george-1961]

Wow 😢So many with horrible deep cuts. Dread to think how many would of perished without you Warriors. Thank you for being there for them.

[@suerobinson844]

They were all cut deeply. Thanks for your never-ending battle to save these beautiful babies. Happy New Year from Queensland Australia ❤

[@dannymbass]

Love the fact you keep asking him about forcing the line. To only teaching him but you are worried it hurting the seal. Love❤

[@thesixthgirl6199]

It breaks my heart that even when you run into a group "blind" without seeing any targets ahead of time, you know you'll find some in there anyway. That's how pervasive and severe this problem is.

[@gwennie13]

Happy New Year to you all. Happier, healthier times to all you've rescued.This was a big catch and so early in the New Year.Hope they're feeling better for your amazing intervention as always 🎉❤🎉

[@kathybell7407]

First …… Happy New Year🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 To each and every one of you! Thank you so much for all the HARD work you do to save the seals and end their suffering! Love you all❤ Washington State🇺🇸👋🏻🦭

[@myreallife6386]

This breaks my heart, to see you found 6 badly injured and all in the same group. It shows how bad the problem of discarded fishing line really is.

[@hendriklurse6518]

Thank you my heroes for saving them ❤️ greetings to all 😊🙋🏼 and wishing you all a nice weekend 😊

[@nothing-jg7fw]

Know I keep on saying it, but you guys are the best. God Bless you all so much for what you are doing for one of His creatures. 💙

bad injuries on 3 of those poor seals. i'm sure they were in alot of pain, but now they can start healing. get all better soon. 6 great saves. thank you very much👍👍

Finished with 2. And then running into the group blind to save 6 more lives. That's 8 more reasons to Subscribe! They don't ask, so we do!

[@fannycraddock99]

Poor baby's. Without OCN they would have died. Thanks for all that you do.

[@omrivol]

Well done team!

[@tergar1]

There are so many seals at this location with deep cuts. Maybe the seals got caught up in a large area of trash. I'm glad you guys were able to save these seals. ❤

[@lindac6032]

That first entanglement was horrible!😢 At first I thought there was something red around the seal's neck, but then I saw that awful wound. The poor pup was so confused when he came out of the net, but now he'll live. Thanks, Roman and Antoine!👏

[@marisasilvasilva9968]

A água salgada cura os ferimentos?

[@MarionHogan-m5i]

Yes salt water will clean and heal the injuries ❤

[@grannybee]

Wow, 6 seals rescued. #1 was thanking you, that entanglement was severe.

[@janetincyprus5432]

So grateful to you. These poor animals would have suffered and eventually perished. Their lives would have ended too soon and only known pain. ❤❤

[@threadflowers9844]

OMG! Those poor seal babies. When the threads starts to grow over and embed in the fur makes my heart hurt 🥺.

[@margotbryan1554]

Thank you for your hard fight to save these beautiful creatures.

[@lindac6032]

Naude broke the Cling Wrap on seal #6 with his bare hands--but it was strong enough to eventually unalive the seal if not removed. Thanks, Naude!🦭♻️

You wonderful guys you went for the gold. Thank you so much.

We are unfortunately not solving the problem, but 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.

[@wekebu]

Saving this many seals from torture is amazing. I have stopped buying any clothing that's made out of polyester / plastics.

[@ArDeeMee]

Plant fibres are just as destructive. The issue is our ingenuity in weaving/knitting the fibres to create fabric with much more durable qualities. I‘d recommend cutting old clothes into flat planes, aka destroying the holes we so often see. Unless you’re donating them, of course. There’s no solution we as consumers can bring about, the pollution is a systemic issue. Just go by what you can afford, and don’t blame yourself if you have no choice but to take the cheapest option. The important part is „no choice“, because that’s the system I‘m talking about…

[@RL-RL]

I knew after yesterdays double rescue that there would be more in that group that needed help. Talk about mass chaos and so many that needed help! If it weren't OCN's experience, and skill set, these that were saved would have not made it much longer. THANK YOU TEAM OCN for saving these 6 pups! Now go heal and get strong little ones!

[@annemaclean6634]

Oh my goodness, guys, it never seems to end does it? Some really nasty cuts there, these poor creatures, it's horrible to see it. Well done, guys, for rescuing these lovely animals from the dreadful entanglements. 👍👍

This was one of the "worst" outings yet, almost all of them had wounds. I give monthly to these wonderful people, as they are certainly doing God's work.

[@eileenentler8993]

I thought the first seal was being strangled by something red, but then I realized it was a horrific wound. SO glad that the team caught and removed so many entanglements, but SO depressing that there were THAT many to remove. Thanks, OCN, for being there and protecting these precious creatures 💙
