It is good to see people that help animals, and do not want to kill everything in sight.

Each and Every living creature is equipped with communicatioin skills if only we patiently try to listen and understand!! What a great story!

[@hecticnarcoleptic3160]

Whaaaat?

[@sfmike711]

@Vyeth Kiran : Simple people always love to anthropomorphize animals. The trait I enjoy seeing attached to animals is smiling, especially for cats and dogs. Both lack facial muscles, ergo, no ability to smile. Even among the apes and monkeys, smiling is really a stretch.

[@AssPhyxiation]

In the era of twitter, that’s debatable. People need to also listen and read to communicate instead of shouting people down and calling for them to be cancelled.

[@thearmchairjournalist566]

@@sfmike711 dogs and monkeys consider a smile to be a threat, that’s why you should never smile at a ape or try to kiss a dog, you’ll get bitten 😱

[@sfmike711]

@@thearmchairjournalist566 : You need to very carefully re-read what I wrote. I said absolutely nothing about humans smiling at apes. I made comment about foolish people saying that dogs and cats "smile" when being rescued, cared for, or fed. I pointed out that dogs and cats cannot smile as they don't have facial muscles. As for the simian branch of our shared primate family tree, I never said anything about smiling at an ape. I said that apes and monkeys don't smile (though they do laugh). Perhaps you're illiterate or unable to comprehend what you read. Not really sure. Which ever, it's a problem for you. By the way, I've seen plenty of caring dog daddies and mommies shower their four-legged friends with lots of kisses. The only thing the dogs do is impart sloppy tongue baths all over their faces. But no bites.

[@pommiebears]

Poor baby is really unwell, no? Never seen one so lethargic. I hope she’s ok. 💜

[@aliway4136]

I thought that too. A seal or sea lion should have been able to jump right up on the boat. I just kept thinking "grab her, pull her up" but obviously that's not 100% safe. Lol

[@florencemcgee7151]

Wondered why they didn't help her a little getting up that ladder, she was struggling! She picked the right boat for help though!

[@lindahagan8391]

I too wished they'd jump in the water and work with each other to oh so very gently support her climb up.

[@jaz2407]

Maybe they didn’t know she was truly that injured at the time. I have no idea what the “perfect weight” for a seal is so to be fair, I wouldn’t have thought she was that injured. It seems like they didn’t want to physically grab and put her on the boat just in case she wasn’t comfortable with that idea. They did perfectly fine. I always hate when there is a video of someone helping an animal the best way they know how, and you have someone claiming they didn’t help “the right way”. They did the best they could given what was most comfortable for them.
