"Captain Hook" Rescued - 45min Seal Rescue

It took 45 minutes to rescue this seal from not one, but two fishing hooks. It was the longest and physically most demanding rescue of Ocean Conservation Namibia's rescuers up to date. Nobody could have predicted such a long and painful process to pull two hooks from the seal's face. The guys showed amazing team work, the focus was 100% on the rescue and the seal's well being and survival.
We have to make do with what we've got here in Namibia. Most of our rescues are quick catch and cut situations, unlike this one. If we had the facilities, we would have sedated this seal and taken him to a proper vet to have this painful procedure done under anesthetics - but we don't. We made the best out of a difficult situation, and although painful - the seal is strong and feisty and will make a quick recovery. In this case, the happy ending justified the less than ideal means. 🦭

    @@Synch9256 they know. I work as veterinarian, a lot of animals, even wild ones in pain at first resist a lot, but with time they see that they being released or that pain starts to be lighter or pressure of something starts to be weaker and slowly with time animals slowly stop to resist. I had a rottweiler with stuck fork in its mouth, it was so deep that on X ray you could see it almost pushed thru it's nose. That dog hated me every time they brought him and I was sure I will have to sedate him or use general anaesthesia. To my surprise and everyone else after first 2 minutes of struggle, he opened his mouth by himself and was completely calm and waited to be done. What came next I did not expect and no one else, my couleges and me had a suspicion coz of a position of a fork and how deep it was that it was no accidents. They said how their child (15) was giving him a piece of meat on fork. That did not hold a water and what dog done next proved us we were right, dog jumped from a tabel after fork was removed and attacked a kid. Craziest thing was kid found it hilarious. We reported the whole case and found out the dog was removed from them and kid was sent to psychiatric observation.

    It seems like the second they got the hook out of his mouth he relaxed. Which means he was fighting so much because it was hurting him that bad. I'm so glad they got the hook out. I cannot imagine the amount of pain that seal had to be in to buck like that. I also hope the rescuers got to rest their forearms. They must've been dead tired.
