Triple Seal Rescue

All three seals were rescued from fishing-related entanglements. To no surprise, the gill net turns out to be a severe one. Ghost fishing gear makes up most of the entanglements we find on fur seals. We can’t stress this enough. Fishing activities are destructive and fully participate in the crisis our oceans are now facing. Today is a good day to STOP eating fish.

Those gill nets are awful! And since this one is dark, it's hard to see against the seal's dark fur. I'm grateful you spotted it when you did or it could have been much worse for the seal. Thanks, team!🦭🌊

[@lindac6032]

"Oh, stop grumbling!"😂 Thankfully the seal was unharmed. Thanks, Wally!👏

[@CatherineWolf-nv6ou]

Wally, your grumbling comment made me chuckle.

[@lindac6032]

At 03:16, I first thought Naude said, "seal bait clip" (something else to hurt the seals), then I realized he said, "steel bait clip". I'm glad I misheard!👂

[@RL-RL]

Great job to start the day OCN! The first one was very lucky to have all that line removed before damaged ocurred. Same for the second one as well. The third one was a mess, but should heal quickly as it still seemed healthy. GREAT JOB TEAM!!!

[@joannemarchetto2252]

I so agree. And I love how he says "stop grumbling" 😂.

[@luciebrisson5881]

The injuries on each seal went from bad to worse. So glad the team spotted them and was able to save all three. Good job, all, and thank you!

[@thulekovish8188]

It's very sad to see the seals caught with entanglements that can kill them eventually. Thank you, team OCN, for your work. I don't know when the worldwide fishing industries will stop treating the oceans as their dumping ground.

[@CTHou13]

That was wonderful! Thank you for saving these beautiful creatures. Everybody watching these videos, please donate to this very noble cause.

[@olgapyat]

Hi all! How different are the characters of the seals that the OKN team saves? The one with the gill net really shocked me. The seal didn’t make a sound while the guys were cutting this nasty net, but the wound was terrible, and I think he was in a lot of pain, but he endured everything with courage, and only then jumped out to freedom , muttered something. Great to see three beautiful seals running towards a new life! Thanks guys! Today is April 14, 2024. This amazing channel has 1.91 million subscribers (the number has not changed for 4 days.

We recently ended the cycle of time known mostly by Christians as the "End Time" and associated with an "ascension event". These are 25,500 year cycles associated with negative events intended to help people grow and evolve. In March 2024 we started a new time wave associated with a major evolutionary event. I've long said that the older seals tell the babies to let humans help. We can expect many changes now like spiritual/ humanatarian development, greater cooperation and ecological improvements- some big plastic agreement was just done a few days ago for example. Many will develop abilities like telepathy, animal communication etc. As we have entered the golden era women will return to rule and correct the ecological and bad behavioral things that have been occurring and far greater humanitarian efforts to the earth and it's beings both animal and human. I know these things as I have done over 14 years of research on the subject. In the next decade mankind will make major evolutionary leaps in kindness and awareness of the inappropriateness of man's behaviors and massive expansion of the mind. In a decade we should have an "ascension" event where the vibration of man lifts the masses out of this low vibrational state to the point where we never return to this level of thoughtlessness. But expect more serious events till the end of 2024 as man does not grow until things go badly. Expect big changes at the end of the year and beyond as society wakes up. Then followed by a series of supernatural events. Thankyou Sealmen, you have done much to show many that we are meant to provide assistance to all beings on the planet without judgement (meaning that some don't deserve assistance) or expecting payback. You are true wayshowers of man! Namaste.

[@johnslaughter5475]

A couple good fighters there. Always good to see those. They will help to produce superior seals over time. I see this one is from the past as Wally is there. 😊😊

Our efforts are just a drop in the bucket compared to the millions of tonnes of trash entering the world's oceans every year. We are unfortunately not solving the problem, but only treating the symptoms of the plastic crisis with our rescues. These videos aim to show the consequences of this pollution and create a change to tackle its roots - namely our addiction to single-use plastics, the lack of law enforcement at sea, and the shortcomings of the recycling industry.

[@rasheedaali8004]

These pups are particularly grumpy today, but instantly feel better and they are away😂Thank you again OCN… Although you say it’s like the tip-off the iceberg, for all those seals you’ve managed to free, they go on to live the life they are meant to and I think it’s worth your combined efforts.❤😊

I've been wondering this for a while. Do the lower frequencies calm the seals more than higher. Wally' kept his tone low/deep, and this seal was quite calm. Denzil, net legend, that isn't your first catch is it. Lol keep it up guys, you're doing a great job. Thank you.
