Wow! As a physician who has dealt with and removed plenty of foreign objects from people, (but not seals), that was impressive! I'll be sure to show this to my veterinarian daughter, I know she'll be quite impressed, too. Thanks for showing us the uncut version, as people need to see the consequences of their actions. I always feel better about humanity and the world in general after watching your videos, and appreciate the service you provide those animals. I have to go make a donation to you now, because you're super stars! Thank you.

Great job from the standpoint that they were finally able to dislodge the line, but this was really frustrating to watch. None of these people give the appearance of any kind of training or veterinary knowledge. They also need a kit of specialized equipment, like a silicon padded oral retractor, an LED battery operated snake light, specialized hooks to get under tightly wrapped line, a fast acting topical to address infection (like a 10% iodine &saline solution,) and a thin mat (like a computer mouse pad) large enough to keep the seal from sinking and suffocating in the sand and to keep the sand from filling the seal's nostrils and mouth. Also, there should be some kind of training for these rescuers. Even though their hearts are in the right place, they really don't know what they are doing. The man who was trying to hook the line was terrified and kept backing off, and had no idea how to approach the problem. They should sew up toy seal, gather up some specialized equipment, and practice some different scenarios instead of the whole thing being OJT (on the job training). That poor seal should have been back in the water in under three minutes.
