Seal Left Helpless by Fishing Net

If the fishermen would take care of the lines they put in the sea ..this seal 🦭 wouldn’t need this men to recuse them.. but alas it is what it is and these guys are God sent ..

[@77aleks77100]

It's a never-ending job, as seals will always hang around fishing trawlers and try to steal fish from their nets.

[@soundman6241]

I am truly jealous of these guys. I could think of no better way to spend my days than helping these incredible creatures. Why discovery channel isn't beating down your door for a show that would be an instant hit is unbelievable. May your feet be fast and your patients all survive.

thank you Antoine, Denzil, Naude, Wally for cutting lines and removing nets. On behalf of all the seals you guys have freed, thank you for saving their lives. Many would eventually die from septic wounds or unable to eat. You guys are the seal angels with nets. Continue to free and release.

He was very lucky that he was somehow able to get to the beach.

[@TheSouthernRascal]

@Projekt Kobra 🤔 Naude, Antoine, Denzil and Wally patrol Cape Cross and Pelican Point frequently. They also visit places in RSA.

[@redneckgearheadgarage495]

One thing I've noticed about the survival shows, no matter how remote the beach there is garbage on it....

[@420JackG]

Namibia is a poor country... the fisherman there don't usually have this sort of gear and if they do they are VERY reluctant to write it off as loss because generally they cannot afford that kind of equipment turnover. Ergo, this stuff is probably from wealthy country's fishing fleets who don't care if they maintain the integrity of the south Atlantic coastal ecosystems. They probably view fur seals as competition in the first place and would gladly kill a few more. Herein the pacific northwest fisherman get in trouble for shooting seals and sealions fairly often.

Many languages that aren’t Russian use the Slavonic alphabet. Ukraine is not Russia and it never will be.
