Seal's Face Covered in Gill Net

Another great example why gill nets are illegal in Namibia and many other countries. It is a known fact that gill nets cause immense suffering and, once caught, do not let any animal get away, even if the animal is not the targeted catch. Gill nets are designed to do this. Countless dolphins, seals, turtles, fish and other marine animals are losing their lives as collateral damage of the fishing industry.
The rescuers have a difficult task - they need to peel gill net out of the seal's mouth. They know they have to hurt the animal to free it and that they will be exposed to the dangerous teeth of a cornered seal. It is a complicated rescue but she is an amazing patient and the team shows great team work when they slowly peel piece after piece of gill net out of her face. the rescue takes longer than the usual catch and cut approach, but eventually she is free to go back to the ocean to continue her life.
Denzil hurt his finger when operating our new plastic recycling machines. He needed 5 stitches, but by now he is as good as new. Nothing gets "The Flash" down. 🦭

[@Itsjustme-Justme]

There is a small percentage of seals who are that calm even when a rescue takes longer and get's painful. When a seal is so calm I always wonder why it acts like that. Is it calm because it knows they are here to help, or is it already very weak and ill and gave up on life?

Agreed! I imagine we see 1/10th of the rescues. It is far more important to free these creatures from the entanglements, than for us to see the whole process from stalk to release. I imagine just the editing and posting time takes hours - and the KZbin audience sees new rescues daily, which shows your dedication to helping these animals. I can’t imagine the carnage we would see on those beaches if the OCN Team wasn’t on duty. How many other beaches world wide have entanglements….without a dedicated team of rescuers?

[@thetessellater9163]

It may be that somehow repeated 'free-ings' of otherwise unharmed animals are communicated around the seal population so, at the least, they may be less frightened by the experience. In time, it could become 'the place to come' for line trapped seals. An evolutionary leap, of human / animal symbiosis, just speeded up.
