Seal Drags 50m Long Fishing Line

The team is fully committed to this rescue - even when the seal charges Antoine, and a wave knocks Wally over and the net breaks, they do not let her go. They are well aware that they might not get another chance to help this animal. The rescuers have to move her into a non-broken net to cut off a 50m long piece of fishing line. She is not injured from the entanglement, but she would not have survived it eventually and she easily could have caused further entanglements for other seals by dragging this long fishing line around. 🦭

The seal charges Antoine, a wave knocks Wally over, and the net breaks...but our stalwart band of rescuers will let nothing stop them in their quest to rescue every seal from entanglement. Well done, guys!🦭🌊🥶😉

[@LambieSamba]

64 degrees ! not awful but not bathwater! probably felt good to Wally after all the extra exertion of running!

[@Slikx666]

If you had missed her then how many other seals could have been caught up in that line? That was probably one of the most important saves of the year. Well done 😀👍

[@luvs8]

Not the most important, but definitely a very important one just like all the other catches. If anything, the catch that was posted yesterday of the two tiny pups was more important because two seals were already engaged on the same fishing line, on one end one pup had the hook 🪝 in its mouth and rear flippers tied up, and on the other end the other seal was being strangled by the fishing line every time the other seal ran, played etc, it kept making the fishing line tighter and tighter and obviously harder for that seal to breathe. It was so sad, especially when they played it in slow-mo and we got to see the poor seal get lifted off the ground and do a total 360. That was so sad to see. I'm so happy Wally decided to turn back and look the opposite way, because he was originally heading towards Tony which is where that majority of the pups were. Those pups got so lucky something made him decide to turn around and look at their group. Anyways, all their catches are so important, hence why the do what the do lol. Anyways, I hope you're doing great. Stay safe and healthy wherever you're in the world. 🙏❤️ Xoxo

[@hopetopper7956]

Rescuing seals are not easy as it looks nor graceful! You got seals charging after Antoine, a crazy waves throws off Wally and Denzel trying to catch big momma seal, and misses. Plus, a broken net.
