Painful And Long Seal Rescue [GRAPHIC]

[@a.r.t.4611]

Without the intervention, don't think the seal would have survived much longer. Good work. 👍

[@Gabrielnobre]

Exactly what I was going to say.

[@Aiko2-26-9]

That was horrific. Just think that there would be 600+ more of these injuries a year if you didn't rescue all those pups. Thank you, thank you.

[@eileenentler8993]

That poor, poor first seal ... I think that was definitely the worst entanglement I've seen so far. It was bad enough to see all those horrible lines SO incredibly tight around his neck, but when Naude used the hook, it seemed to ALMOST disappear into the horrific wound. Then when they turned him to the other side, the lines just kept coming. I'm SO glad you caught him when you did -- it was obvious from the depth of the wound, and the amount of blood on all the lines and all over your tools, that he wouldn't have survived much longer. He has a CHANCE now, thanks to the amazing OCN team. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Outstanding work on the nearly decapitated bull. Your patience, insight and compassion for these fellows and girls is legendary. Love the indomitable OCN Team.

I’ve never commented. It’s so heartbreaking to see what man does to harmless animals. Thank you for your work.

[@pennylane2304]

The trauma of long term damage is so extreme - to the seal, and to the team. Your gentle yet thorough removal brings relief to us all. ❤️🇦🇺

[@gardengnome132]

Oh dear Lord, how was he still alive? Team OCN, you are heroes and angels, this beautiful seal was surely on the brink of death. Bless you all...

[@melissam8939]

Wow. I can't imagine surviving a wound this deep and huge. I hope this first boy is able to heal and regain quality of life

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

I hope he's thriving right now.

[@828kae]

Team OCN, may God bless you richly for the compassion you show for His creation.

[@mbr936]

I cannot believe how resilient that bull is. With the unbearable pain, bleeding and infection, yet he is still looking reasonably strong. Perhaps it is just the adrenaline making him run like that... but I think he will make it. What a great job!

[@juniekalu9340]

This was a hard watch. Every time he twitched in pain I could imagine how painful. He was a strong animal to have withstood this agony. I hope he made it in the wild and produced happy, healthy pups.

[@alexnik888]

Ребята сколько же вы делаете добра . Вам здоровья терпения долголетия.

[@knightdragon5640]

So heartbreaking to see how much damage and pain those seals have suffered!! I pray they will heal. Thanks for being their God-sent surgeons! 🙏🙏🙏

[@shawnakenton9682]

I just wanted to cry! If that wasn't a big bull it wouldn't have survived! He was almost decapitated it was so deep! The second one was so infected! God made these seals so resilient & tough! I can't imagine the pain they were going through! I pray they both heal up quickly & live healthy lives! Thank you so much OCN team! May you all be blessed for all you do for these furbies!

[@wardygrub]

Naude, the fact that you repeatedly say sorry to the poor beast is testament to your very sweet and loving spirit. Sending some love your way from England UK 🇬🇧 xxxxx

[@glennmcgrath971]

You guys are incredible. The pain the seal has endured shows how brave he is but without your help he was finished. Thank you.

You people are truly the salt of the earth. The way you are apologizing to the seal for causing more pain trying to help him shows what a compassionate group you are. I watch and share your videos daily. I hope you hit a million subscribers soon. I hope you get revenue from this channel to help with the incredible work you’re doing. You ARE making a difference.

[@Canadiangirl4922]

This one was extremely difficult to watch but very necessary to see. This is what we all should be worried about, not plastic straws that really don’t do the damage that these fishing lines, string, ropes and plastic bags can do. Thank you so much for doing this very burdensome and taxing work. You are very much appreciated by those of us who care about this world. ✌🏼💜🇨🇦

[@Lydia-Frost]

Have you not seen the video of a team removing an old plastic straw from the nostril of a turle? All litter is deadly to animals and our world.

[@Canadiangirl4922]

@@Lydia-Frost - that was ONE turtle! I’m not saying it’s life is any less precious, it’s that 100’s of metres of fishing lines, string, ropes, plastic rings from holding cans together and plastic bags do so MUCH, MUCH more harm to all ocean life than a little tiny straw. We need to look FIRST at what is doing the most harm. ✌🏻💜🇨🇦

[@SSHK237]

Perhaps the most severe cuts I ever saw on poor bull's neck! When he was running towards the water afterwards, the deep cuts on the neck can easily be seen. The team is so caring and know their job well. Well done guys! Bless you!!! ♥️🙏🥰

Man, the removal of that snook line on the bull seal was mentally painful just to watch. I can hardly imagine how painful it must have been, both the physical pain for the seal and the mental strain for the team to remove the entanglement. Also, it is incredible how much they can survive. Thank you so much for everything you do to save the seals. Best wishes to all of you.

Oh that poor young bull and little girl . Of the 800+ videos from OCN this has to be the most heartbreaking to watch. No cute puppies or humorous banter. This shows the true reason that OCN is out there. Please team if you spot this poor boy in the future mention it in a video. My heart is breaking for these two and that the team has to deal with with such horrible rescues 😢🦭

I am not the best at seeing animals in pain and these two had horrific injuries. I cannot imagine the pain they must have been in. You are my heroes, hanging in, never giving up, literally risking life and limb to give those seals another chance. I'll just go away and be sick now, but I will sleep knowing you wonderful people are saving lives everyday. Thank you so much, OCN. From South Eastern Australia, where a Southern Right whale and her almost all white baby are making their way south to the krill fields, amazing to see. To all those asking about ointments etc, I suggest watching one of the 'Q and A sessions run by OCN where they explain why they do things the way they do. They really know what they are doing, salt water is the best healing agent and we can help by collecting every bit of rubbish and educating as many people, especially children as to how we, the rubbish throwers, can help by being responsible.
