Seal's Face PUFFY From Tight Loop

The rescuers always look for loose fishing line between seals, often it is attached to an animal and it can potentially lead to a double seal entanglement. This morning they find two seals dragging behind long strings of fishing line. They can't run properly, they keep on tripping over their entanglement, and the rescuers can easily grab both.
The first seal has fishing line tightly wrapped around his face, his while face was swollen up and puffy. He would not have been able to eat, the fishing line was a certain death sentence.
The second seal had a fishing hook stuck in its flipper with fishing line attached to it. Luckily the barb had been flattened, and the hook is easily removed from the animal. The wound looks fresh enough and the seal is allowed to go back into the ocean. 🦭

Their crucial work helps them survive and live! In many cases, eventually the lines could get entangled on something underwater and they wouldn't be able to free themselves and drown. They've also said another seal could get tangled on the line caught on another seal. Thankfully, we haven't seen that yet, not sure if/how they'd survive if they did. I am so VERY THANKFUL for the work OCN does to help these poor seals. The seals are unintended victims of the fishing industries, that just throw this horrible stuff into the ocean, instead of properly disposing of it in the first place!!! 😢

[@ExtremeSurvivor_1]

@Just Moi It's not ALL put out there on purpose. Tons upon tons of trash in our waters of the Earth, especially oceans, have ended up there after severe storms pick up debris or drag out numerous tons of debris in a single storm, LIKELY washing things overboard on rigs and ships as the extreme waves crash and thrash them about in a storm. Even tornados pick up land trash and STUFF and carry it until it drops it all someplace. Think of videos you've seen of Tsunami, Hurricane or Tornado and how debris is literally flying through the air. Some of that might be something you left outside or ready for Trash pick up in a nice tight trash can that explodes open under pressure of a storm, then out goes your trash into the environment. It's everybody involved in creating trash and waste and having their little gadgets... etc . Peace to You 🌟💫😇🤗@Just Moi.

The injuries to these poor pupies are heartbreaking. Thank you OCN team for your daily rescues so these pups can live! You rock!!!

I think it's a shame that we as humans don't take better care of our waste and environment but I'm also very happy that there are humans like you who work to save these animals from a horrible fate.
