"Captain Hook" Rescued - 45min Seal Rescue

[@dianehghzn7670]

Why havent you learnt how to sedate the seals when it comes to serious in or removing those giant hooks from those animals it seems a bit non sensacle to put yourselves and the seals through so much stress ( injuries ) and tiredness at the end of the day you guys must be exhausted 😍🌹💐🌷🍀💟☮️anyway i love what your doing for these poor creatures who get themselves tangled and fish hooked its just dreadfull these fishing people need education seriously anyway much love from indonesia and Australia and keep up the good work ❤️🌹😍🌷💐💙

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

We do have a lot of comments about sedation for this video, so here is our answer to all of them. The sedation of pinnipeds is a very complex process and much riskier than of terrestrial mammals because of their proximity with water and their anatomical and physiological adaptations related to diving. A rescue operation with sedatives would also take on average ten to fifteen times longer, possibly causing the Cape fur seal to overheat.

[@Kuklapolitan]

@@OceanConservationNamibia Thanks for that answer. I'd just posted the same question when you got hold of Brutus!

[@datheoryof]

Why would you even think sedating an animal like that is a good idea ? I can't stand people like you who think you're the first person to think of that sh*t. They are doing the best they can with the best tools. Or are you not paying attention ?

[@treefarm3288]

Some polar bears died due to incorrect dosages. It is probably not permitted by wildlife authorities there, either.

A tranquilizer would need to have time to wear off after. Don't want him going back into the sea groggy. Would have to be computed so as not to over tranquilize. There are a lot of possible pitfalls with tranquilizers.

[@Primalxbeast]

@@cindyknudson2715 Tranquilizers are used with sea lions and they have a reversal agent to get them alert more quickly. They'd probably need a vet on the team to use them though, and I'm sure there's some risk involved in using meds.

@@Synch9256 they know. I work as veterinarian, a lot of animals, even wild ones in pain at first resist a lot, but with time they see that they being released or that pain starts to be lighter or pressure of something starts to be weaker and slowly with time animals slowly stop to resist. I had a rottweiler with stuck fork in its mouth, it was so deep that on X ray you could see it almost pushed thru it's nose. That dog hated me every time they brought him and I was sure I will have to sedate him or use general anaesthesia. To my surprise and everyone else after first 2 minutes of struggle, he opened his mouth by himself and was completely calm and waited to be done. What came next I did not expect and no one else, my couleges and me had a suspicion coz of a position of a fork and how deep it was that it was no accidents. They said how their child (15) was giving him a piece of meat on fork. That did not hold a water and what dog done next proved us we were right, dog jumped from a tabel after fork was removed and attacked a kid. Craziest thing was kid found it hilarious. We reported the whole case and found out the dog was removed from them and kid was sent to psychiatric observation.

Thank you team for all you do to help these seals

[@sheilamason1895]

You are amazing. You have freed this poor seal from a certain death and life of pain. Tears in my eyes, I thank you for all the seals you have cared so deeply for throughout these rescues.

[@hopefletcher7420]

I am constantly amazed at how you can spot an endangered seal among the 1,000s and keep track as you sprint into the mob.

Ой ребята спасибо за ваш такой труд , сколько же вы освободили животных дали им свободную жизнь , низкий поклон вам 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

К сожалению, мы не решаем проблему, а лишь лечим симптомы пластикового кризиса с помощью наших спасательных средств. Эти видеоролики призваны показать последствия этого загрязнения и изменить его корни, а именно нашу зависимость от одноразового пластика, отсутствие правоохранительных органов на море и недостатки индустрии переработки.

@@OceanConservationNamibia всеравновы не безразличны к этому и спасаете животных , это же не одно и два животного , наверняка ситни,спасибо вам

So traumatic, I'm astonished it didn't have a heart attack. You guys are beyond wonderful. This video should go viral.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

It was a really tough rescue for sure.. thanks

[@gohringbeatz]

@@OceanConservationNamibia you guys are some good people for real, i agree with kathleen, keep up your amazing work

[@TraceM72]

I would just like to tell this team, I APPRECIATE YOU and a Thank You from the very bottom of my heart. Not many folks would go through all the trouble you do to give these poor animals a fighting chance in the vicious Circle of Life we're all tumbling through. And even if Dr. Hook and Julius can't express it properly.. THEY Apprecicate you and are Thankful as well. ❤️

[@rhondagoldberg8419]

This was a difficult and suspenseful rescue; you saved this seal's life! The unparalleled dedication and teamwork of OCN places you in the miracle worker catagory! ❤❤❤

[@viviansuchocki6556]

Your patience with those poor seals is unreal. I am completely amazed at the time you guys take to get the job done. My heart breaks when I see those poor animals hurt because of Man's carelessness and truly appreciate what you do. I'm just blown away.

[@shadwman2331]

Your whole team is absolutely amazing for helping the animals, because Earth is just as much their home as it is ours.. God bless! 🐾👣😆👍

[@tonynagy2042]

So was so intense... I was on the edge of my seat !!.... Well done, amazing rescue...Cheers, Blessings!

[@stephanieyee9784]

Ditto. I was stressed so I can't imagine how difficult and stressful it was for the OCN Team.

[@BrettonFerguson]

I wish they had a nitrous oxide tank and face mask for the seal. Give it a few breaths and then snip the hook really quick before it wakes up. I have no idea if that would even work.

[@ohwhatelse]

@@BrettonFerguson good idea tho

[@TheJali7]

Exactly my words

[@BF1GUN]

This has to be the longest and most difficult rescue I've seen you guys perform. Well done everyone.

[@teresafrazier4299]

What an act of kindness towards a beautiful creature! Thanks to all!

[@shadoweagle4112]

This is indeed one of the most intense rescue! Bravo for your patience guys!

[@edwarddrost5299]

I feel agony for the seal, but I also consider the predators that that feed on them. I wonder how many orcas and sharks have these stainless steel hooks in their guts. It's a great job you guys are doing.

[@tiadarci7583]

Meu Deus que coisa triste. Que trabalho belíssimo,parabéns homens. 👏👏

[@Frances-iu8nq]

What a show of teamwork, Team OCN! I love how Tony said "we trust you" to Denzil, showing how important trust is in this type of work you are doing. Also, how honest and considering everyone was especially when Wally said he cant feel his hands. This rescue was very demanding and with the seal not cooperating, it was tedious. But it shows how passionate you are in helping them. Always a pleasure to watch what you guys are doing. Hoping for the best and thank you Team OCN!

[@StonedtotheBones13]

Honestly, you point out a core component of OCN I didn't realize: communication. Not only do these guys need to communicate where seals are in a succinct manner, but everything else about a rescue from the physical to mental

[@bonniehughes9549]

Thanks for never giving up even though your bodies were tired. Your committment to saving the seals knows no bounds.❤❤❤ from Canada

this one made me cry. i felt so bad for the seal, how he must have suffered with that hook in his eye lid. thank god for you guys.

Ale akcja. Musiałem zatrzymywać film, bo tak było dramatyczne. Jesteście wspaniali. Od pewnego czasu oglądam Wasze działania i jestem pod ogromnym wrażeniem tego, co robicie. To jest piękne i szlachetne. Pozdrawiam z Polski. Myślałem, że jestem uświadomiony ekologicznie - absolutnie nie zaśmiecam otoczenia koło siebie - ale to, co Wy robicie i pokazujecie uświadomiło mi ogrom problemu z zaśmieceniem swiata, oceanów, lądów i powietrza, i tragicznego wpływu na bezbronne zwierzęta. Osiem miliardów ludzi, tylko śmiecą, śmiecą i śmiecą - bezmyślnie. Jeśli nie zawrócimy z tej drogi, to nasze śmieci nas zabiją, najpierw zbiją oceany, a w nich zwierzęta, potem lasy, powietrze, a wtedy będzie już za późno, gdy to zobaczymy. Wtedy nic nam nie zostanie. Jeśli teraz nie rozpoczniemy uczenia naszych dzieci już w rodzinach od najmłodszych pierwszych lat, potem edukacja w przedszkolach, w szkołach podstawowych i szkołach średnich i wyższych uczelniach, to zginiemy jako ludzkość, jako gatunek. Samozagłada z głupoty własnej. ... ... ... Czy jest sens o tym pisać? Wszyscy przecież to wiemy. Trudno jest zmienić przyzwyczajenia, przekonania i poglądy, które nam wmawiano i wmawiano przez lata, z pokolenia na pokolenie A wmówiono nam, żeby wybierać polityków do władania ponad naszymi głowami. Z tym właśnie należy skończyć. Zmienić system, bo nas zabije. - „Nie pozwólcie, aby wielkie plany nowego świata odwracały waszą energię od ratowania tego, co pozostało ze starego.” „Główną nauką płynącą z historii jest to, że ludzkość niczego się nie uczy.” „Bez względu na to, jak piękna jest strategia, od czasu do czasu powinieneś spojrzeć na wyniki.” - podobno są to słowa Winstona Churchilla. Tak, właśnie tak powini zrobić wszyscy wyborcy na całym swiecie - bez względu na to, co obiecują nam politycy, jako swoją strategię dobrobytu, wyborcy powinni spojrzeć na wyniki strategicznych obietnic. Co widzimy? Niewobrażlne wydatki na wojny, rozwój super technologii zabijania człowieka, zamiast na rozwój warunków życia, a wystarczy tylko niewielka część tych pieniędzy, aby oczyścić ziemię ze śmieci, usunąć głód i biedę ... ... Jedynym rozwiązaniem jest pozbyć się polityków ... ... Powiesz, że piszę brednie, że to nierealne, ale ... ale o tym wiedzą właśnie politycy, dlatego szukują nam kolejną wielką wojnę, aby pozbyć się nadmiaru ludzi. Dla nas pozbycie się polityków jest nie do wyobrażenia, ale politycy mają taką własnie wyobraźnię. Pozbędą się zbędnego balastu, nadmiaru, przeludnienia. Chore społeczeństwo wybiera psychopatycznych przywódców. Wszędzie. W kazdym kraju. Mimo wszysto życzę wszyskim pokoju i radości.

I’d be edging back into the net too! I was literally pulling out my hair and tilting my head as you were trying to turn him. That was a marathon effort and an exercise in team work and compassion for the seal. Thanks everyone!

[@lesterfalcon1350]

Phenomenal rescue. to think this all started with a one mane rescuer, and now you evolved into a 4 man team of rescuers and this team needed all of you again and again and again. And your techniques have evolved too, and this rescue needed all but the kitchen sink. Great works as always. I couldn't help thinking about the 'scar tissue' case at the beginning. You are the only ones out there doing this, so every re-capture is re-capture of your capture. These numbers seem to be rising, but serve to highlight all the fantastic work you are doing. Thank you, what a team.

[@lindac6032]

Good save, Antoine! Captain Hook is lucky you saw him! Talk about being in the right place at just the right time...! Fresh bait still on the hook...unbelievable! Great job all around! Thank you all!🦭😇🙏❤
