Seal’s Neck Sliced Open By Fishing Line

New territory for OCN to conquer 😊😢 That final rescue couldn't have come soon enough! ❤ OCN

[@KimWhitney-d3o]

I am so grateful for your compassion and dedication to all these seals, you are all amazing. Thank you

[@TH-hy9kr]

Have been making a conscious effort to reduce my use of plastics, cutting the non recyclables up small, and recycling what is permitted. Watching these videos every day makes me appreciate ever more the hard and selfless work of the OCN. Thank you for saving these beautiful seals. ❤

[@edytam7059]

Poor seal, such a horrible wound😥 But you saved him. Thank for saving all of the seals. ❤

[@dee_dee_place]

My heart bleeds for that last seal. That entanglement must have been so painful. Thanks, guys, for all you do for these beautiful seals.

[@fryefoto]

Wow! The seals at this new location are really in need of the OCN Team! Great job!

[@patbowers4180]

Goodness, the last one was bad! Thank you, you were needed!💜💕

[@HazelLogan-w2h]

Well done fellas. 👍 The problem with plastics is huge, sadly😢 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@karenwhaley8635]

How disturbing to see such an awful wound and damage to these playful creatures. Thank you OCN 😊

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

These animals deserve our protection!

[@7inrain]

That was some nasty, nasty stuff with the last seal. I hope it recovers fully and quickly. Thanks for the work you are doing.

[@helenemalenfant5435]

Oh man, that was an emotional one to watch. Sad to see so many with serious entanglements, usual cringe and sympathetic pain for the horrible deep wound and, ultimately, relief, joy and appreciation that you gave all of them a chance to survive and prosper. Thank you OCN ♥️🤍🩵🦭🩵🤍♥️

[@LightworkBeacon]

@helenemalenfant5435 : We can all write our world organizations to look at various ways to clean this issue up!🌊🦭🕊

We need OCN teams all along the earth's coastlines. You are saving so many lives. Thank-you.

[@EllenSchneider-tn1pu]

These Sandwich Harbor seals are certainly a fierce group! So many fighting back against these strangers running among them. Hopefully the team can make more house calls to this more remote seal neighborhood. Well done gentlemen on this first of hopefully more visits to this group! 🦭🌊💙

[@BoogieOogieWoogie]

Maybe, even create their own dedicated rescue group - the need is so great, and the team is spread so thin🙏🙏🙏

[@pcbacklash_3261]

Man, that last operation was scary! I'm surprised she wasn't going crazy, as she must have been in tremendous pain!

[@mariagiakalis4615]

The statistics show that with every passing year your experience grows. It is certainly apparent in the precise way you free each animal from its engagement. Thank you team OCN for all that you do ❤

[@l.faraday8767]

That last seal was difficult to watch. 😢 These seals seem a little more aggressive than some of the others you’ve helped on other beaches, but they are all deserving of being saved. Thank you. 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦

[@Mcat7101]

Thank you for taking the Sandwich Harbour seals into your care and for the rescues.❤❤❤

[@haggielady]

They are in dire need of your rescues. If people could give more, it would help tremendously. OCN would be able to pay for more training and help. I'll shut up now.

[@nariu7times328]

You have a fantastic team! - THANK YOU to those we rarely see, doing editing, social media, fundraising, organizing, financial management, and countless other things that are truly "behind the scenes" and make the visable seal rescues possible.

[@BoogieOogieWoogie]

👏👏👏😀Yes, thank you for doing those invisible and thankless jobs! Your skill and dedication are incredibly vital; allowing for that many more seals to be freed from such a torturous death💙💔💙❣

[@luciebrisson5881]

Thankful you were able to go to Sandwich Harbour, so many seals were in need of your help there. It is unimaginable to me what some seals have to endure day after day when they are caught and cut by entanglements like that. Thank you so much OCN.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@lilihsu6561]

You are savior of these poor seals and humanity’s salvation.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@thundercrown278]

Your videos are compelling. Thanks for making an ongoing effort and for enduring the unpleasantness ( the smelll of the infected woiunds must be nauseating ) for the sake of relieving the unbearablle entanglements of these innocent creatures. You lift us all a bit higher.

[@BudaKhan420]

You guys have started the best exercise club on probably the whole continent. Save the lives of seals and wear yourselves out on the daily. The best part is it’s all on sand so you get that extra difficulty level to burn the calories faster with the benefit of low impact on the joints. ❤️🦭🐳

[@Dave_Cymru]

I am truly disgusted to have heard over the weekend that the bloody OIL companies have rejected the pact to discontinue plastic production in all industries. Sadly, as a direct result of this mindless decision, injuries such as this will continue long into the future! I, like others on this site, am humbly grateful, to your dedication, knowledge and skill in rescuing these wonderful creatures! Dave.

[@SueliChinFook]

Hola chicos del OCN! Trabajo duro lo de hoy! Grande rescate! Y pienso que si no tuviera rescatado la última foca, no le quedaría mucho tiempo. Creo que no necesito decirlo; pero tener mucho cuidado trabajar sin guantes. Millones de gracias! Por no dejar que esta especie entre en extinción!!! Buen fin de semana!!!😍🤩😍🤩❤❤❤❤🦭🦭🦭🦭

[@RL-RL]

So sad to see so many effected by this needless trash that would have killed them. Then the ones that didn't make it.😢 Thank you OCN for saving as many as you did this day. Your team are true heroes!

[@BoogieOogieWoogie]

I know, it kills me to even think about it💔💔💔!!!

[@raymondrak961]

The great thing about using nets which provide easy access to the entanglements is that OCN can capture a seal, leave it in the net while looking for additional targets. Much respect.

[@JeanMcLeister]

[@3isactuallyalot]

We need to stop polluting the world. We are responsible for all the great creatures on this beautiful planet.. thank you so much, again and again....

[@eponack]

Remember this when you are spending your money. The biggest cause to much of this is the drive for profit. Capitalism at its worst.

[@LightworkBeacon]

​@@eponackThis is a layered global issue that requires every individual to look at their own practices.

[@BoogieOogieWoogie]

​@@LightworkBeaconIf that's our only hope then- God help us all!!!

[@BoogieOogieWoogie]

​@@eponackI agree! Obscene corporate greed is a huge issue- once they start raking in huge profits, they can't get enough. So, they begin to cut any costs wherever they can, regardless of what or who suffers for it! It's such a truly gross and pathetic mindset 🤮!

[@leaveitbetterthanyoufoundit]

More times than not, it is fishing line or net that causes the injury. It’s careless behavior from, basically, the opposite end of corporate executives. For a variety of reasons, the poor don’t have many alternatives.

[@kimdickinson3063]

I guess we don't realise how badly our trash is affecting the wildlife unless we watch things like this, I think your videos should be on prime time TV in all countries so people can truly see what we are doing to our planet. You are showing mostly seals but lots of wildlife is so badly affected I feel so bad for all of them. ❤ x

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

Some of us have known it for a long time. Even though it’s currently impossible to entirely escape plastic in both the developed and undeveloped worlds, we can cut back and reuse. Most plastic has never been recycled. You can still educate people, which is where your biggest impact will be. Be an environmental activist in your personal life, Kim. Memorize some of these statistics. Share them when opportunity comes your way. Don’t forget, these rescues are intrinsically important, but as well, they’re also vehicles to educate the public with stats at the end of each one. As OCN is educating you, pass it on.

[@mikethetoolman8776]

the Gov't should be subsidizing your work, not stopping or restricting it!!! If they were policing the fishing industry, it might minimize the problems for animal life there!

[@BoogieOogieWoogie]

If the government is actually restricting animal rescues, for any other reason than a proven need to protect rescuers, then - at the very least - the government's motives are suspect! Of course, I'm not accusing-as I have no evidence-but, so much history, and the likely plausibility that such a scenario fits all too perfectly, does give rise to suspicion that the same greedy companies that profit from less seal competition, could be giving them bribes. If such restrictions are being placed, they absolutely should be thoroughly investigated🧐!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

The government should enforce the conservation laws that prevent such pollution 🙂

[@franceshorton918]

Imagine a human Doctor or Nurse, shipwrecked, lands on a wide, windy, sand and rocky beach. Only tools are scissors, pliers and a net. Has to get debris that is cutting people, OFF their necks, bodies, limbs. Doing surgery on the sand, in the raw. I'm not sure there would be the same dedication, strenous efforts, kind words, and humourous remarks. Day after day. OCN teams, you dont know how especially wonderful you are !! ❤ Thanks from the seals, and your devoted observers ...
