Sea Lion Pup Rescue - Engelfield Bay, BC

June 27th, 2015 - We found this little guy (what we think is a Sea Lion Pup) floating with a large mat of commercial fishing net around its neck. It would try to swim and then had to roll to its back to breath. It wasn't very happy when we first got to it, but after getting it free, it was happy to hang around on the bow of the boat for a bit. After forcing it back into the water, it did a couple barrel rolls, stopped for a look back at us and swam away. It was happy and so were we.

[@lynnkinsman2325]

So happy that you guys rescued this little seal from a certain early death...but very upset to see the guy prod the seal overboard shortly afterwards. The seal needed more time to recover.

[@christencollins3740]

' I'm so frustrated watching this ' Really .... no idea

[@Christin5554]

I know what you are saying, every time I watch this I get so mad at these worthless guys. The seal is thin, exausted and scared.

[@gailhowes9398]

I feel this could have been done a little faster and yes he would need some recovery time as you do not know how long he has been struggling.

[@dianemoonstone4715]

Or they should have edited the video better to less of the beginnings and more of the seal resting and enjoying their company for however long it required. And especially no forced 'repatriation'! LOL.

and what was the purpose of pushing it into the water ? Were u guys that scared? Poor thing was probably exhausted from swimming with that net on its neck and just needed a rest

[@wolf310ii]

Yeah, one big seamonster and 5 little girls

[@patElfpat]

wolf310ii Interesting how some men liken being female with insults. “Five little girls” to describe people who work with these animals and are right to understand the pup they are trying to help has sharp teeth the size of a full grown 50 lb dog. Working with animals, these folks know that wild, scared animals in pain and exhausted can pack quite a punch. Bites to hands are most common in that situation and hands are a dangerous place to be bitten. Talk to a dog rescuer about multiple surgeries, hospital stays for iv antibiotics and amputation of parts of hands just from a dog bite. I hope if you have children you will think about this and make some changes because the attitude you’ve demonstrated is damaging to children who look up to you.

[@wolf310ii]

That are not people who work with animals, thats just 5 guys fishing on the lake, found a sea lion. Profesional animal rescuer would be better equiped and would not act like a pussy, and they would a exhausted animal not poke with a stick back into water, they would look for injuries or would take the the Sea Lion to the animal station

[@fookutube501]

[@raycolt8315]

@@rickystrickland844 That's why the baby was gonna bite someone's finger. It's not powerful enough to do some damage but some people (me as well) don't like being bitten by animals. First of all, they carry diseases. If it bites you it may cause you big problems. And second, I just don't like being bitten even if an animal is playing with me - like cats or dogs. I don't like them drool all over me or my hand. Many people are OK with their dogs doing that but not me. I like dogs, but that's just disgusting.

[@res6364]

Was trying to figure out why they took 2:15 mins of video, time where he tried to stop his head from bashing into the side of their boat... and clearly a lot of time off camera, before pulling him out of the water in 15 secs.

Took to long because they were doing it wrong. A women should have done it. Ha ha. And yes...he should hve been fed....another given a women would have done.

[@DanBrillon]

They took a few minutes to get him out of water tugging on him and tightening rope then they spent five minutes traumatizing the poor pup by throwing that cloth over his face with five big guys standing around him. THEN, these five grown men being scared by this obviously vicious pup, they ignorantly push him back into the water when the pup clearly wanted to be left alone a few minutes and take a break. Should of and could have been done in 30 seconds. I applaud your efforts but it could have been much easier experience for the animal.

[@mukkaar]

Ignorance is bliss... It's common tactic to cover wild animal's sight so they are not so stressed and stay calm. It also block their vision so they won't see where to bite. Touching against their will is last thing they like. He was tired so struggling was not as bad, and how did you deduce he wanted to be touched? Did all that trashing give it away? Even tamed wild animals are likely to bite or scratch you if you touch or approach them when they don't want you to. Clips that you see about these wild animals letting people touch them, work because it's the animals being ones to approach us. Maybe he was bit nervous with the stick, but otherwise they did it right and did a great thing.

You don't just poke him with the hook to get off you could have waited as he was more likely getting some energy back as he would have been trying to keep himself afloat but I still thank you for getting the wire off also i don't get why you left him hanging for so long by his neck ye he may have been trying to bite you but you could have gripped the scruff of him neck to stop him

[@shivananddeshpande8480]

Thank you for rescuing the poor exhausted, don't afraid,it will not attack, it was tired. The process of releasing from the net should be fast. Anyway end was good to see, thank you.

Why doesn't anyone on a boat ever have a decent sized knife? This looks like a cheese knife! god bless you for helping him!

[@kimberlyb7346]

Thanks for the rescue but you didnt have to push him overboard. He would have left after a short rest dont you think?!?

[@cy4330]

Those big guys were terrified the monster would bite them all and they would be so very hurt!

[@fernandocg7859]

thank you guys!

[@macsigo]

YES Y WAS TIRED & SAID THANKS BEFORE GO BACK 🖤😁

[@shecat1964]

Wow I was happy, then Angry! Geez who knows how long this poor baby was trying to stay alive. You free it. then dont give it a chance to recover! Jerk. So what, so he sits on your boat for awhile. Is your fishing more important than him maybe drowning from exhaustion?

[@gavinparsons5150]

Cat G They freed the bloody thing you stupid tart. Going by your picture you would have been busy doing your nails.

[@lindachristian4546]

Burt Purvis your just as big an ass as he was! This has nothing to do with doing nails! Go Purv your but!

[@jozsefkacsa]

I would of smashed that fat fuck pushing poor thing back to the Water. they should gave it some baitfish and take it to a Rescue place! Tiny little Pup weakened like this one no way will survive without it's Momma! The first Orca will eat it up for snack! Fat idiot!

[@gavinparsons5150]

jozsefkacsa all of a sudden we are experts on wildlife. If you were there you would have been prepping your pants and ringing your mumma

[@CaryKelly11]

Cat G I am with you. The jackass who was in a hurry to push it overboard should have been put in his place. The lil guy was tired and not aggressive. This is probably the only time those people would ever be this close to a juvenile sea lion in the wild and the jackass was in a hurry to end it. If it were my boat, the seal could have stayed as long as he wanted.

[@samsonite3716]

the guy with the stick... omg -_-

[@amistenson2535]

Thank you for freeing that poor baby!! ❤️👏 You guys saved a life. If it happens again call a wildlife protection service so they can make sure the animal is healthy and safe. The pup was maybe 2 months old. He/she was awfully thin too. Would have been better to wait long enough to make sure he/she was ok before shoving the pup off the boat. The man recording kept saying he just needed to catch his breath, should’ve been obvious to the others. I heard a woman’s voice, you think she would’ve at least given it a fish. They made sure to tell the seal not to “steal” any of their fish. That’s like someone who came into your home, went into your kitchen, and took a sandwich telling you not to steal their sandwich. 🤷‍♀️
