[GRAPHIC] Entangled Seal Barely Alive

* Warning* Graphic Rescue!
Denzil, Wally and Kat are at Pelican Point and have spotted a badly entangled seal. The team is not even sure if the poor seal is even moving. They drive as close as possible to catch it quick in case it starts moving towards the ocean. Denzil jumps off the car and grabs the seal. It has fishing line wrapped all around its body causing deep cuts all over. He is skinny, he likely has not been able togo hunting for a while. Ideally OCN would have taken this seal to the vet and a rehab center, but unfortunately there are no suitable rehab facilities in Namibia. Luckily we have seen in the past that our seals recover very well even from severe cuts like this one. It is probably due to good food availability and salt water. We will keep our eyes open to see if we can spot him again soon! 🦭

I cannot begin to try to imagine the physical pain and torture he endured for who knows how long (weeks?!? months?!) even a few minutes of that would be horrific...he still has to go through and somehow find the strength to heal his very deep and painful wounds. And still try to find food. I hope he makes it. Please make it little guy! No creature deserves that kind of pain. Praying he is feeling better and survives through this into into a happy, healthy adult seal. Thank you for all that you do, the truest of all true heroes. 🙏🏽 🦭 🌊

You men are holding life in your hands, a part of the wild. You are helping, removing problems and giving a innocent creatures a chance to live. You could receive medals, awards, perhaps even the Nobel Peace Prize......awards aplenty. But no matter what rewards you might ever receive, what you do now is your greatest reward, and nothing can touch it.

Thank you Fred.

Son angelitos de los animalitos que personas sin conciencia sin sentimientos sin alma les causan a los pobres animalitos, dios los guardé muchos años y a los que causan tanto sufrimiento les de él castigo que se merecen.

Oh no he is so tiny… poor little pup. Thank goodness you found and caught him . You are all so wonderful.

[@vickymarinou6271]

He still had a line left on him. It was higher up around the neck. You can see it clearly before he runs off. I hope they catch him again otherwise it will be such a shame. I hope they see this message.

@@vickymarinou6271 Cut it out Vicky! They haven't started doing this yesterday. They've been doing it for long enough to know and see that the lines are all cut off. The entire entanglements don't come clear off the animals until every loop is snipped and cut anyway. They have had long enough experience to know what they're doing. And they can see what is on the animal much better than us looking through our screens. It's right under their faces and hands. The whole thing wouldn't have fallen off the animal if there was one more loop of line left.

[@vickymarinou6271]

@@mc-nw1rk I absolutely would love to be wrong and hope that what you say is right.

[@johnslaughter5475]

Even with the entanglement removed, he had trouble getting to the water. It was a good sign when he tried to bite Wally as Wally was finding all of the entangling lines. But, he is weak. He needs to be able to catch fish to regain his strength. Great job, guys & Kat. ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊

You guys are the best. Thank you for looking out for these defenseless seals.

[@jdot3345]

Haven’t cried from a video since you rescued the seal who dragged his attached dead friend around!! I truly, truly hope this adorable little pup makes it!! This is just a reminder that you guys are heroes & so very needed in this world. Thank you so much for being alive & choosing this as your life’s work…you are AMAZING!!!!

[@karensky3456]

There aren't many true heroes left in the world. Anytime I need my faith in humanity restored, I watch this channel. Thank you for helping these beautiful animals.

[@ic1843]

The way he looks up at you is heartbreaking. Thank you so very much for helping him.

[@raymaharaj4502]

I pray and hope that The Lord heals that poor beautiful creature. Also I hope God blesses all of you that took part in saving that perfect little guy's life, i I know the animals for sure love you guys but there are hundreds and thousands of people like me that also honest to the bone lives you caring people with all my heart. I used to go fishing off the docks close to where I live and I'd see garbage all over the place so I'd spend the day cleaning up the shoreline on many many many fishing trips, it made me feel really good about myself, so I hope you guys know it is not prideful to feel that you're making a huge difference by DIRECTLY saving living creatures. I wish I was able to donate money to your guy's cause but I've been off work sick from inhaling poison at work but for now I will atleast comment and give a huge thumbs up on all of your videos. Thank you guys again, watching your videos cheers me up soo friggin much.
