We often find pieces of fishing line on the beach. It is hard to tell from a far distance if we are looking at general beach rubbish or an entanglement. We usually wait and see if the plastic moves with the seals or if it stays in one spot.
Tony's gut feeling is right today - the fishing line is wrapped around a seal's hind flipper AND her pup. Double entanglements escalate quickly. Entangled animals hurt each other when they try to break free and they can no longer move around on their own. There is also the added danger of entangling even more seals or other animals in the same piece of fishing line.
The chase is already enough to help the pup shake off the fishing line, but for the mother, the rescue process is a lot more painful. The fishing line has dug deep into her flesh. 🦭
