Fishing Line Cuts into Seal's Jaw

The banter between you was quite entertaining…Naude “I’m water skiing here” Naude to Tony “Bully!” That was an amazing, exhausting rescue. You knew he was out there because you saw him a few weeks ago and you never gave up! You never do! He would not have made it without you all! Thank you for being the Heroes that these precious seals need so badly! Love and admiration always🦭♥️🙏♻️

[@banangebliss3387]

I had to chuckle at the beginning when the seal was just sitting up like seals do but still covered in net lol. Great job guys-you’re amazing, and I’m truly grateful for all you do, including those behind the scenes who work just as hard (or more!) 🙏🏻💗🙏🏻💗

Спасибо вам ребята! 💕как тяжело справиться с таким большим и сильным котиком! Как вы еще заметили этот крючок. Они же близко не подпускают и носятся на такой скорости. А зубы какие! Собака щенок по сравнению с таким укусом. Силища такая, что взрослого человека как куклу отшвырнет на несколько метров. 🥶 Вы герои! Риск неимоверный! Каждый раз переживаю за вас! Здоровья вам!

He had just been chased, and netted Twice. No wonder he was a bit upset.

[@haggielady]

Your technique has evolved over the last 18 months. You've studied what you need to do, how to do it, and it shows. This rescue shows the results of the "brain power" you've put into the art of seal rescue. I'm so proud of all of you, even though we've never met. Keep up the great work!

The nets they use to catch the seals are wonderfully designed. I’ve wondered if the nets are designed for something else or this team designed them and have them specially made.

You guys are an inspiration to everyone and I hope you can generate (and occasionally to traine) other people around the globe to try to help these amazing animals and others that also may need help.

[@checkanr138]

time for companies producing fishing lines and plastic that entangles animals to consider using material that dissolves in the water after a while. humans also need to reevaluate how much fish they really need to eat and how much lies they tell about the "need" for animal food on their plate, when scientifically it is already proven that animal foods are not even healthy. the food industry can make more money by converting to plant based food, but the corporate world rather keeps on lying to themselves and push their old outdated eating habits and beliefs upon the world instead of making a positive change.

[@jacktaggart2489]

Great Coordination. Patient emerged as feisty and made whole as ever. Wonderful outcome by your precision team.

[@lindac6032]

I'm glad you don't come across many entanglements like this one, but you totally have the strategy down now. It was much easier and faster than the previous rescue you referred to (KZbin video posted on 1 May 2021, "Graphic Seal Rescue--Uncut Version" from July 2020). And this seal was much more cooperative! Well done, guys! Thank you so much for your determination, your persistence, and most of all, your hard work! 🦭👏🙏❤❤❤❤

Well done all, that was something to watch.

This is one of the most impressive operations that your group has ever performed, in my opinion. Stellar job!

[@franciscook5819]

Another heart warming rescue. Have you considered using tie down/luggage straps? The ratchet means that they are easier to lock tight, the strap is broader so less likely to damage, the catch has a quick release.

[@youjustlikeit3774]

6:01 Easy fix for that knot. KZbin video called The Slipped Half Hitch shows that you fold the line in half instead of putting the end of the line through the loop (hitch). It leaves a piece of line hanging out for you to pull on to undo the knot. I use that knot all the time. So do those cowboys that tie the three calf legs together. You can practice on Densil if you can catch him. 😆👍

[@kareyreuben3869]

Thank you for mentioning that and saying it's name, I knew there was a knot you just pull the end but I didn't know the name. I hope the OCN team saw your comment. And yes, Denzil can run like the wind!

[@youjustlikeit3774]

@@kareyreuben3869 Knots can be intimidating. Plus, most of the rescues are from lines with knots so, the optics of adding another knot might put people at unease. But, yes. It is a good safe fast knot. ✌

[@zig_the_zag]

What a powerful boy! Congrats for this successful rescue! 🙏🏻🦭💚👍🏻☀️🌈

[@utahyork3338]

Rope around the body to hold the front flippers - looks like the knot might be an issue when releasing. You need one of those ratchet straps that don't have the actual ratchet. Pull to tighten and then press the button/lever to release.

[@pawpal1637]

Yes, that would even be better than what I suggested. Like a tie down ratchet straps they use for tying down equipment or loads down on the trailer. This would eliminate the need for trying to knot the ropes and be strong enough for these big strong bulls.

[@Sharkykzn]

Suggest using a slippery half hitch through that clip hook.

[@titanbum7365]

Yeah when I saw that I said to myself that's gonna be hard to release. A better way would instead of going through the loop is to use another loop within the loop so it can just be pulled for an easy release.

[@realise6]

Very intense rescues two days in a row and this one demanded all your combined strength too. We could clearly see the deep cut on top of the nose when the seal charged out of the net afterwards. I'm very glad you were able to finally catch him and free him from that line. It must have made feeding difficult and painful for him. Great, great job, OCN and good idea using the surgical tools.
