Seal Rescued from Big Hook

[@ronnieroo227]

You guy have inspired me, so on a recent holiday l spent hours walking along the beaches collecting the rubbish and fishing lines from the waters edge. Bless you.

[@Pazair-nq6gl]

Gracias a ti también RonnieRoo22. Salud 🤙

[@saml7610]

I live near a beach, and I walk my dogs there every morning. We always come back home with a bag of garbage that has washed up. I wish there were more people like you, doing the right thing! Its worth noting that picking up ANY trash is good, because all rivers eventually lead to the sea, so even garbage on land has a good chance of tangling up an aquatic creature eventually, unless we pick it up and dispose of it properly! Everyone can contribute, even if y'all don't live near the ocean.

[@lindapelle8738]

Totally, my heart breaks for them. Sad knowing 90 percent are out there and will never get help

[@ellenschneider7787]

Oh dear sweet girl if ever there was a perception of a seal understanding- it was in her eyes as she followed your movements during her procedure. Even in biting the bolt cutters she didn’t bite in anger but in cooperation. What a good patient!! What a great “surgical team “. Well done OCN

[@qwave1322]

A wonderful comment thank you and so true. 🙏🙂

[@adam.millerchip]

I don't think she understood, she was probably terrified. If they took that net off at any time she'd be gone in an instant. My guess is it was submissiveness in the face of overpowering force.

[@cindymacdonald8655]

Amen!! ❤️

[@MrJx4000]

Made me squeamish watching it. Good work everybody.

[@judithmcbride4023]

Ellen Schneider. I couldn’t agree more! Every word in your comment rang true! She DID understand ! Sometimes we just don’t give animals enough credit. But she knew exactly what was going on! And with all our guys talking to her, and encouraging her! Her cooperation, and our AMAZING OCN team working together , made for a Wonderful outcome!!! ROCK ON OCN!! Rock on!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯💯🥰

[@thetessellater9163]

I do think they will gradually learn these guys are no danger, but only there to help. Who knows, the word may already have got around, and all seals with line around their necks or hooks stuck in them now come here for 'treatment'.

It's really fascinating how you're able to diagnose and formulate a strategy so effectively. Well done guys!

[@garrywilson5138]

I wonder ... whether the seal community builds an understanding over time that you are not predators, and associates your team with helpful acts. Regardless of this wishful thinking, you're doing incredible work! Thanks for your real service to life.

[@nancybannerman1224]

I have wondered the same thing, are the seals getting to understand the situation. With the response of some of the seals I would say no. But after this rescue and another where the seal turns a sits beside Naude for a moment I think it could happen. I do hope though that one day these rescues will no longer be necessary. Until that day keep up the great work OCN.

[@hemantadhikari1129]

Certainly the result is visible. Some KZbin uploaded by some gentlemen show how some sea animals like turtle, whale, sharks are coming near to humans seeking help from them. After sometimes these poor fellow will also understand that all humans are not alike.

[@TheOneanjel]

Actually it's well known that sea animals will seek out humans for help. Especially whales and dolphins.

Naude: "The hook is out, minimal damage, still not very fun, but at least she's HOOKLESS now."

[@TheBooban]

I didn’t understand why the hook wasn’t cut. It was barbed on one end and the other was a large eye that was pulled through flesh to get out.

[@sergiosaunier]

I think Naude didn't cut it because it was too far back; maybe he thought, if he cut it, the seal might have swallowed the barbed piece.

[@123ratsrus]

@@TheBooban They did say it was lodged in the jaw so maybe that was why?
