Fishing Line Sliced Into Seal's Shoulder

[@carlavanherrewaarden6451]

Three entangled seal pups rescued in one run! The extent of the suffering caused by the enormous amount of plastic in the ocean is made painfully clear once again.💔😪

[@genmulder]

Listening to Antoine, speaking to the seals in his own unique way, brings not only a type of calmness to the seals but well needed education to the viewers. Thank you, Naude, Antoine, Denzil, Wally, Hawain, Katje, and Cat 🥰🌊🦭⛑️

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Thank you for your kind words! Our efforts are just a drop in the bucket compared to the millions of tonnes of trash entering the world's oceans every year. We are unfortunately not solving the problem, but only treating the symptoms of the plastic crisis with our rescues. These videos aim 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.

Thank you to Denzel Hawain and Tony for being gentle and caring not to hurt the pups anymore than they already are Hawain is so calm and relaxed when netting the pups you would think that he has been saving seal for years 🫶😇⭐🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤bless you all for all your hard work

[@nicklager1666]

Nice spot Denzil, that couldnt have been easy as the seals blend in with the background in that light.

[@hendriklurse6518]

Thank you Team OCN for saving them ❤ greetings to all 😊🙋🏼

[@bkm2797]

Some very painful injuries, so grateful you Antoine and Hawain were able to give them that second chance. Thank you👍❤️🙏🏻

[@HazelLogan-w2h]

Shocking how many seals are entangled in plastic. These are the lucky ones that are rescued by OCN👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@RL-RL]

Thank you OCN for a very busy morning and all those you saved! I know those affected are in pain, but to hear them cry when the lines are removed really gets to me. Now go little ones, eat up and heal!

You are angels, thanks for saving the seals, everyone saved breads hundreds in the future.

[@olgapyat]

Hi all!!! (there have been no glitches with comments for a long time, but this is already the 6th attempt) A terrible wound on the shoulder of the first seal. I trust Tony that everything will be fine with the seal, and with those others who have freed themselves from yet another human criminal stupidity... By the way, an interesting message at the end of the video “only 0.5% of rescued seals have natural entanglement!” I watched almost all the videos, but I don’t remember such entanglements (algae? I can’t even imagine - what else?) Thanks guys for your work! Today is July 19, 2024. This wonderful channel already has 2.04 million subscribers.

Just found your channel, thank you so much for what you do for these poor helpless lil animals. Have you ever found one that was too injured to be re-released and if so what do you do in that situation? Anyone been here longer than me who might know?

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

At the end of the day, we remove the man-made death trap and let nature take its course 😐 Rehabilitation facilities do not exist in our country, and we are not authorised to transport wildlife. The long drive back to town would anyway stress the animal to death. We see healthy recaptures every single day, proof that seawater acts as a very efficient wound cleaner and that Cape fur seals are extremely resilient animals.

[@ZebaKnight]

Thank you, as always, for doing this work. Viewers: If you "Like" these videos, as I do, wait a minute before clicking that button. I learned from another viewer that KZbin doesn't count quick "Likes" - they can be done by bots. KZbin rewards content providers using a set of criteria that includes "Likes". I want to make sure that channels like this one get all the credit/funding they deserve. (I have no financial relationship with KZbin.)

[@linmorell1813]

It amazes me how you see any injuries when there are so many. How many creatures have you saved? Thankful to have you all.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

This is a skill we wish we never had to develop, but we are unfortunately very experienced by now. We have so far rescued over 3,500 Cape fur seals from entanglement in marine litter. 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.

Seals have shoulders? Fellow can learn a lot from here.

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

They’ve got flippers, their evolutionary version of arms and legs. You can find anatomical diagrams online if you get curious. One of the painful things for me is that we aren’t so very different from other animals, we all “grew up” on the same planet and we’ve a lot in common including sentience, which makes their suffering all the more poignant when we can understand some what they’re feeling. We’re all tied together so what happens to wildlife, will happen to us. OCN has taught me, too.

Are plastic bags very common in Namibia?

Yes, plastic bags are quite common in Namibia, as they are in many parts of the world. However, there have been efforts to reduce their usage.

O derin yaraları geçer mi acaba ?

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Önde gelen yüzgeçli bacaklılar uzmanları bize, hayvanı rehabilitasyon için bir barınakta tutamadığımız sürece, yaralarına ilaç uygulamaktan kaçınmamız gerektiğini tavsiye etti. Topikal kremler ve merhemler, kürklü fok suya girer girmez yıkanarak çıkarken, suya dayanıklı spreyler aslında bakterileri hapsedebilir ve yaralarını ağırlaştırabilir. Her gün sağlıklı yeniden yakalamalar görüyoruz; bu, deniz suyunun çok etkili bir yara temizleyici görevi gördüğünün ve Cape kürk foklarının son derece dayanıklı hayvanlar olduğunun kanıtıdır.

[@dilekgundogdu.]

@@OceanConservationNamibia Teşekkür ederim 👍👍

[@Anna_Skazkina]

Ребята, привет! Вы делаете благое дело. Может быть, такие раны обрабатывать водостойким антисептиком?

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Ведущие специалисты по ластоногим посоветовали нам избегать применения лекарств на их ранах, если мы не сможем оставить животное в приюте для реабилитации. Кремы и мази для местного применения смываются, как только морской котик попадает в воду, а водостойкие спреи могут фактически задерживать бактерии и усугублять их травмы. Мы видим здоровых повторных поимок каждый день, что доказывает, что морская вода действует как очень эффективное средство для очистки ран и что капские морские котики - чрезвычайно выносливые животные.

[@lyndseytester9226]

Sometimes I just can’t help but get really angry that beautiful innocent animals are suffering day after day because of ignorant mans actions . How bad does it have to get until the powers that be actually do something constructive? Do we have to lose every animal in the Oceans before they take a firm stance on this ? Why is this not being taken more seriously by those we hold accountable ? This isn’t a new problem pollution in our Oceans from rubbish , plastics and now just about every man made object you can think of has been going on for decades and decades only now because of good people like this that go out on a limb to help those animals that would otherwise perish strangled and entangled in things that should never ever be in Ocean do we really get to see the real extent of how mans indifference to what his actions are causing are really having devastating effects on every Ocean Mammal . I don’t have the answers I wish I did to just how we tackle our Oceans being used as a dumping ground but I do know that something has to be done and quick . Current actions to clean up the Oceans are not enough we need to educate those that think that, that lost fishing net or broken discarded net or hook will just miraculously disappear or that plastic strap or bottle won’t cause an issue . It’s just one straw , one strap , one net they say to themselves but it’s not just a strap or a net or a hook etc it’s a potential death sentence for the animal that ends up wearing it .The powers that be can no longer turn a blind eye this is now at the stage where actions are critical because if we all don’t start to care more about the Oceans and all those that inhabit them then we will set ourselves up for future without all the animals we love so much they will become stories of long ago that our grandchildren will tell their grandchildren and that has to be the biggest most heartbreaking future scenario that I could ever think of . Thank God for people like this each and everyone of them that care and try to make a difference to how our history unfolds . Man at the top is all to consumed with greed , power, war,wealth and destruction that he loses sight of the innocence that pay the price for his decisions and actions or lack of them .
