[@KathleenPayne-m5y]

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

[@fannyfayvintage7668]

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

[@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❤😊

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

[@yamnjam]

All those seals must feel SO much better!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Indeed 🙂

[@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!

[@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.

[@nicklager1666]

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

[@ishp2]

Friendly reminder. Please don't skip ads, it helps them monetize their videos and commitment to rescue our little cuties in the ocean! CHEERS TO 2024 and PEACE!

[@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 ❤

[@marybrown1539]

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

[@marigeobrien]

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

[@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!❤

[@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.

[@4july99]

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

[@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.

[@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😢

[@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!🦭♻️

[@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. ❤

[@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 💙

[@hniziolek4884]

Please support their Patreon ! They do such great work 💕

[@omrivol]

Well done team!

[@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! 🦭🌊💙

[@BudaKhan420]

Man you guys are really getting efficient with the teamwork

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

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

[@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…

[@steveb6103]

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!

[@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.

[@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.❤🦭

[@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. 👍👍

[@thomasglessner6067]

The wounds are horrifying. Thank you for caring.

[@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.

[@mikeyt6785]

Not only successful, but done with such high standards ❤😊

[@kareyreuben3869]

Those poor animals with those horrible entanglements cutting their flesh open. Thank you, OCN crew, for what you're doing.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

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.

[@Sawbuck]

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.

[@marieke3032]

Those were horrible cuts! 😢 Heartbreaking to see how many entangled pups you catch going in blind. 🌊🦭✂️🌍💙 Nice to see Roman joining the team! 🦈🦑

[@paddyjenkins8458]

That would have been 6 dead seals if it wasn’t for OCN. That was really heartbreaking, so much unnecessary pain. When are we as supposedly intelligent humans going to respect our planet. Thank you OCN you are true humanitarians cause you lead by example.

[@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.

[@seanhorton3811]

Excellent work of helping out those 6 seals.

[@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!!!

I just want to heap the biggest amount of praise To this wonderful team of men. Those injuries were horrific. I just wanted to comfort each and every one of Those poor animals.

[@maryg3143]

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

[@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. ❤

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 ❤

Wow, always sad but grateful when you are able to save so many, you can almost feel their pain, so many nasty cuts. You are their heroes,mind ours too! Thank you!❤️👍🕊

[@olgapyat]

All the best, good mood and hello! A lot of seals are in trouble, and in very serious trouble. I watched almost all the videos on the channel, but still, when I see the seal’s wound, my heart sank. Why is the world reacting so slowly to the fact that the oceans and life in them are being destroyed by the criminal throwing of garbage overboard and not only from ships, but people on land also do not spare the ocean.. These 6 seals from the video were lucky, they were caught by rescuers and given a chance for a future life. Thanks team! Today is January 6, 2024. This amazing channel has 1.78 million subscribers. (Maybe the KZbin counter is broken?)

К сожалению, мы не решаем проблему, а лишь лечим симптомы пластикового кризиса с помощью наших спасательных средств. Цель этих видеороликов - показать последствия этого загрязнения и создать изменения для устранения его корней, а именно нашей зависимости от одноразового пластика, отсутствия правоохранительных органов на море и недостатков индустрии переработки.

[@ЕленаНемчанинова-ф5щ]

Ну хотя бы так вы помогаете природе. Это как доктора лечат людей, и жизнь продолжается. Энергетика вашего труда привлекает всё больше людей в защиту природы. Я стараюсь как можно меньше использовать пластика и думаю что другие люди после ваших роликов тоже делают свой выбор. Вы герои! И огромное человеческое спасибо вам за участие в спасении природы
