Rescued Seal Waits for His Buddy's Rescue

[@LakotaCat]

The "buddies for life" run off in different directions. LOL. They were probably sick of each other's conversations by then. (thanks for saving them!)

[@shirleystephen8245]

I have noticed dogs and cats as well as some of the wildlife Are getting smarter, s perhaps some day the seals will catch on that the rescuers are there to help them.

Seal rescue and beach cleaning should be Olympic sports. When are we gonna care about real issues? Y’all just saved 6 lives! That’s amazing. This is what should be rewarded with time, effort, and money.

[@stephanieb7311]

Agree 100% with you.

[@lorewilhelm9182]

I wish that the trillions of dollars that are spent on climate change would instead go to cleaning up the oceans. I think the fanatic climate change business is a scam. It's about making people miserable and poor while a few people get rich from it. The climate is always changing as it has done since the earth was formed. We could spend the money on some sort ocean cleaning system. These animals and so many that live in the oceans are suffering today.
