Seal FREED from safety hat entanglement

On 25 July, Naude and Antoine from Ocean Conservation Namibia (www.ocnamibia.org) had a short break in the stormy Namibian weather for a quick seal patrol. They had about one hour at the Cape Fur Seal colony at Pelican Point before the wind turned too hot and dusty to continue. The seals tend to head into the water to cool down during this kind of weather. The activists still managed to catch and release 4 entangled seals.
The first one was a young female pup bound in a thin line which was cutting quite deep into his neck. They managed to restrain him and cut him free without too much of a struggle.
The next 2 rescues were done simultaneously. Naude spotted a young male with the inner strap from a workman’s hard hat around his neck. There was no damage yet, but this was severely restricting his movement and would have had severe consequences for him. At the same time they spotted another female pup with fishing line around his neck, which Antoine caught and was joined by Naude to cut him free.
The last pup was a 1 and a half year old very strong male that was caught up in a small piece of gill net. The net had severely cut into his skin, which had mostly regrown over the line. It took them a while to carefully cut free and carefully pull out the lines before letting him go. 🦭

@nickys34 shut up.

[@Lemon14402]

Wow that wasn't even an insult, it was just stupid

[@lucarnetrange]

@nickys34 : the problem of diminishing fish stocks is political. Ask not for less seals, ask for more laws against the foreign fishing fleet that don't let any fish left in the sea.

[@SuperLoops]

@nickys34 you are wrong. first, the fishing fleet and the seals exploit completely different waters. the seals are good swimmers but they still have to stay relatively close to shore. the big factory fishing vessels travel far out to sea to fish, they can travel hundreds of kms further than the seals to find fish, and exploit waters that the seals could never reach. second, there were much larger fish stocks in the past, when there were also more seals. the seal population has reduced in the past few decades, but that hasn't resulted in more fish. when you compare the amount of fish eaten by seals to the amount of fish caught by people, you will see that the seals are eating an absolutely minute fraction of the total. seals are a part of an ocean ecosystem that used to be unbelievably rich and productive, until it was over-fished by people in the 20th century. third, some EU studies from the north atlantic found that european seals mostly prey on smaller species of fish which themselves eat the fry of bigger species, and its those bigger species which are caught by people. so if the north atlantic seals disappeared, there would be much greater predation of the species that people want to catch, and fish stocks would fall. I dont know if thats also true of the south atlantic, but it shows that the situation is not so simple as "seals eat fish so there is less fish for people". thats a POV thats far too simplistic and doesnt match reality at all

Here's to the 1st video of "we didn't find any entangled seals at the beach today."

Naude's arms must have been aching after this one and Antoine' seal whispering was at its very best. Well done both of you.

Makes you want to reconsider the definition of a "safety" hat. Great job guys! Real heros

[@deekshaupadhyay4219]

One of the best service humankind can provide. Really proud of you guys 👏✌👍

[@phill8725]

You guys are incredible thank you so much again for all your hard work. Looks a lot easier on cam I bet!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Absolutely!

[@oranjmusemeyer968]

I can only imagine how hard it would be for you guys to remove those lines that have skin grown over them, then I imagine the seal's pain having that removed without sedation and my stomach turns. The thought of them continuing to grow with that around their necks is akin to a scene in a horror movie. Thank you for hanging in there on their behalf.🧡

It’s too bad there’s no eco friendly vehicle that can be used to help these guys capture the injured faster & save their breath. So sad how many are out there suffering. Thank goodness for these guys. Can’t help other than donating. Kudos

[@caseychase5359]

Your dedication and passion for rescuing these important seals etc is unmatched, impeccable and inspiring!! You guys are awesome

[@philipsdeb]

Wonderful job guys. These seals are strong and you work so gently with them.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Thank you very much!

[@pakde8002]

I was wondering do they always fight or has there ever been a situation where the animal was able to overcome it's instincts and understood that you're trying to help?

[@fernandopasini6350]

I follow you here from Brazil! I love your work.
