Rubber Gasket Removed From Seal

We never want to disturb the baby seals during the breeding season. Unfortunately, this baby seal would not have made it any longer with his entanglement, so we had to interfere with his breakfast to save his life. The rubber gasket was already starting to cut into his flesh. Now that he’s free, he can continue feeding and grow bigger.

I don't think this seal pup will hold a grudge on you, for the interruption during his breakfast, now that you've freed him from that gasket. Thanks Antoine and Angela!💕🦭

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

🙂👍

[@ellenschneider7787]

That little guy’s full tummy slowed him down just enough for the team to easily catch him. His little grumbles sounded more sad than angry. Well done Tony and Angela 🦭🌊💙

[@Kokeil39]

Hallo Ellen, es ist sehr schade das ich nach so langer Bekanntschaft keinen Schreibkontakt mit dir bekomme. Liebe Grüße, Konrad.

Antione might have interupted breakfast, but saved this pup from certain demise. Thank you Team OCN for everything you do!

[@nicklager1666]

OCN never rests every day they are out on the beaches. Good job Tony and Angela

[@gardengnome132]

He was really talking to you, Antoine, "please, get this thing off me!". So glad Team OCN is there to saved all these lives threatened by our dumping.

[@user-kk4lt6kq8x]

Disturbing his nursing will help him to better nurse-without gagging! Great job Angela and Tony! 😇💕🦭👏

[@ramblynrocketeer]

Antonie & Angela are great examples to the rest of us!! Each of us can do our part! Thank you OCN Team for your continued dedication to educate & make this world a better place 🌍🦭💛 👋😁 Aloha from Kauai Hawaii

[@ChaiLatte13]

I'm so impressed the lengths you go to rescue these seals. Crawling on the sand, climbing along the side of a dock etc. Great work.

[@lindac6032]

I bet that pup was surprised when mum ran off in the middle of his meal! Saving his life was more important just then. Thanks Antoine and Angela!💙

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

😁👍

[@Mcat7101]

Thank you❤❤❤. A little interruption in his meal is a small price to pay in exchange for his life. An adorable, chunky grumbler 😊

[@posnrg2u327]

Interrupt his breakfast but he gets to live. I think he doesn’t care that you disturbed him, seems like a fair trade off. He’ll be back for lunch shortly, after a quick swim. Thanks OCN.❤

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

[@kathybell7407]

Your love commitment and strength will never go un noticed!! Bless you all ❤

[@carolleighton4579]

Great work saving the puppy, even though he was enjoying his meal, hope he soon finds his mum again. Thankyou OCN. 🤗💝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

We are unfortunately not solving the problem, but only treating the symptoms of the plastic crisis with our rescues. These videos aim to show the consequences of this pollution and create a change to tackle its roots - namely our addiction to single-use plastics, the lack of law enforcement at sea, and the shortcomings of the recycling industry.

[@ladyj9330]

Well he obviously did not think saving his life was an excuse to interrupt meal time! Ungrateful! But he has a lifetime to be ungrateful thanks to you two! Great job and THANK YOU from your grateful viewers!!😍🥰❤

[@theheartland1861]

he was a healthy and plump little pup from nursing. now that having that rubber gasket removed, i think he wants to find mom again. great rescue for a little seal👍👍

[@barbll000]

Bless this team of hardworking rescuers. So many seals are alive because you helped them.

[@karenwhaley8635]

Interrupting one meal to safeguard a lot of meals in the future. Works for me, and I'm betting it works for this fast growing chunky beauty! Thank you, Angela and Antoine 🌊🦭✂️🌍💙

[@luciebrisson5881]

I was thinking the same thing as Antoine. The gasket would have stretched to a point but when it reached tautness, it would have suffocated the seal. So glad you spotted him. Thank you Antoine and Angela!!

I am surprised his mom left him. I hope he will find his mom again.

Yes. The female seals find their pups by making special sounds.

На жаль, ми не вирішуємо проблему, а лише лікуємо симптоми пластикової кризи своїми порятунками. Ці відео мають на меті показати наслідки цього забруднення та створити зміни для боротьби з його корінням, а саме нашою залежністю від одноразового пластику, відсутністю правоохоронних органів на морі та недоліками галузі переробки.
