Seal Rescued From Plastic Rope
This plastic rope entanglement originates from a veggie bag. Veggie bags are made of plastic, so they do not degrade easily and cause a lot of harm to any animal entangled in them. Veggie bags are popular in Namibia and all over the world. We were lucky that the seal was weakened by the plastic rope and couldn’t run very fast. Otherwise, she would have gotten away before we caught up to her.

The facts posted at the end of every rescue, are both staggering and heartbreaking.
A female "looking really sad"... I'm grateful you got to her in time--now she's just mad! Thanks, team!🦭♻️

"this weird thing is still stuck to my neck and now it's hurting me, could this day get any worse? OH, CRUD, HUMANS! RUN! NOOO, THEY GOT ME, I'M GONNA DIE I-- wait, are they taking this thing off of me? nvmd, not gonna question it, yay, they let me go, gotta escape!"
She couldn't move to fast on her way to the sea ,the difference after the rope was cut was so good to see. Thankyou OCN. 🤗💝🏴
No wonder she looked sad, having that tight entanglement around her neck. Thanks guys, you've brightened up her day!✂️💕🦭
Beautiful morning. You’ve got to be the cross-fittest wildlife rescuers on the planet. ;)
Thank you Naude and Wally and all my OCN heroes, she breathed so deeply when she was free of that entanglement. My prayers and appreciation to all of OCN .
Let the healing begin! Thank you guys for all you do to save these innocent lives.👍❤️🙏🏻
Thank you my heroes for saving her ❤️ greetings to all 😊🙋🏼
Mad is okay, she is safe. Thank you, OCN!
Thank you Naude & Wally for saving this beautiful girl! 🤗 21,000 pieces of plastic for each human is beyond disturbing
Well we cant have a cow looking sad can we. I love that expression from Tony. Not as much as i love seeing you helping seals of course.
Poor female, the cut on his neck. Luckily she was enough healthy and strong, it was glad to see. Thank you for rescue, OCN TEAM 😊❣.
Jaka precyzja!!!!!Prosto w cel😂😂😂Biedactwo była taka poraniona😟😰Dziękujemy pięknie❤🇵🇱👋
Awesome video footage and great rescue. Thanks Team OCN🤗
When you realize even in a crowd of identical mimes, that they are coming for YOU! Another Great Job OCN Seal Rescue Team!
The anger in her is palpable against us human beings .Thank you OCN team❤
Talk about timing! Lovely work 🦭❤️
Great tactics and just in time. Now she can heal and hopefully not get into anymore entanglements. Thank you Team OCN for everything you do!
Thank You ❤❤😊❤❤
Brilliant catch Naude. Thanks.
She came charging out of the net, seemed very strong still, and it was good to see. Thank you OCN!
Well, I don't think that seal was saying "Thank You" when you released her, but I will say it for her. Thank You!❤❤❤
Lol she gave you the business after you saved her! :) That has to feel good for you guys. Thanks for what you do and sharing the threats to our environment.
Спасибо, ребята вам за такой тяжёлый труд. Здоровья вам, счастья.❤️❤️❤️🥰💐
'Peel off' the 'veggie bag'. Unintentional pun noted, with appreciation. In addition to the appreciation I feel with what those words meant, how you translated them into action to save a seal, and record your words and actions to raise awareness about marine pollution. The pun was a bonus. 😊
Thanks Guys
Thank goodness you caught her. She needed to be rescued from that entanglement for sure.
Всим добра і здоров'я за вашу нелегку почесну працю дякую кожне спасіння радує ❤
i have to watch you guys save one of these precious creatures at least once a day. gives me hope
💗💗 Thank You 💗💗
Ребята, вы НАСТОЯЩИЕ!!!
I love starting my day watching you guys save these beautiful seals. ❤
Thank you for helping her. ❤OCN
Молодцы, вы делаете очень благородную работу и спасли много тюленьих жизней. Спасибо!
Nice job ❤❤😊
Here comes the Mercy Brigade! Be swift of foot and may you be blessed.
It's nice that you show an older clip of Wally once in awhile.

Even though I know almost all of the targets are rescued I still hold my breath during the chase. You guys are amazing!
The slo-mo footage of the release was stunning, the way she looked and jumped at the camera and the morning light! 👍 Super job!

Awww... "Seal looks sad" well....if she would hold still, you guys can take the sadness away!!! I love when you turn the camera and we see little seal heads bobbing in the water!! It looked to me like a "Thank you" when she was running off.
Another Big Thank You 🇦🇺 ❤❤❤
Perfect timing! ♥️ Much love!
Merci à la team OCN pour ce sauvetage tellement urgent merci pour cette vie sauvée, c'est une femelle donc vous êtes tous responsables d'une future dynastie, merci pour la vie. Je vous envoie toutes les meilleurs ondes possibles pour vous et vos familles. Bravo les gars ❤️🦭🦭🦭❤️🌊❤️👍❤️😉
Thank you for all you do. 👋👍🙏
"There are 21,000 pieces of plastic in the oceans for every human being on the planet." This is shocking and that was in 2016. 😔
Guys, it humbles me to see how much you all go out for these beautiful animals, they bring joy to us, and sadness too… there is so much mounting concern for our planet as a whole… it’s a real scary world this generation is passing onto the next… she came out angry and that’s so much better than her apathy of before… Thank you OCN… your efforts give us some hope and keep on doing for each and every life you free from these carelessly thrown away stuff.😢
What an excellent nab! It looked almost choreographed! Partially due to [unfirtunately] _way_ too much practice over the years... But didn't she have a _lot_ to say to Naude after her release! I don't think there was a kind word in it! She'll feel bad about it later when she realizes that your effort was to help not humiliate...
You guys are amazing. It brilliant to see you in action. Well done ❤
Thanks guys.

Denzil wasn't in this video. It was filmed from Naude's perspective, and I believe the other man was Wally, who used to work with OCN. Denzil and Wally did work together as part of the OCN team with Naude and Tony. This vdeo is probably older footage. 😊
I love the sloooowww mooootion photography! Thank you OCN! 🦭🙏❤️🇺🇲🇳🇦
I love you guys. Thank you so much for making a difference. 💙

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.
Perfect timing, Naude. Love the slow mo and how she looked right into the camera as she ran back strong to the ocean. 🦭😇😊👍
A perfectly executed rescue. Well done, you guys are awesome

Every time that I see Wally in a new post, I always hope that it’s not an old video and he’s back! 😔
Thank you so much. Love them, love you.
Wow, look at that girl go. ❤❤❤
Good catch.. she needed help.. so much dang trash in our oceans.. I love seafood and live on the coast of Texas.. but have cut out fish.. love oysters..! Thank You..OCN for bringing awareness to this massive problem.. 💙🦭💦
So glad you saved her, but she was too angry to be grateful. Grumbled like a good 'un😂
Hi all! (4th attempt to make a comment) I really like it when lifeguards come to the beach from a kayak. Wonderful views! The seal was rescued in time. The scar will heal, but there is still a long life ahead. Thanks guys! Today is May 3, 2024. This amazing channel still has 1.92 million subscribers (that number hasn't changed in 14 days. Looking forward to another 80,000 subscribers!) Subscribe if you haven't already. By subscribing, liking, commenting, donating and reposting, you help save seals.
when a seal gets caught to be rescued, they may be in a bad mood, but once they're released, they have a reason to be much happier. great rescue guys👍👍

Sure enjoy seeing them reenter the water.
It's amazing how many different kinds of things they can get tangled in. After seeing one tangled in a shirt, it makes a person really think twice about every single thing they throw in the bin.
Great work as always folks!!👍👍
🦭🌊💙 TY OCN!
You are true hero !!! 🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏
great save and great photography, thank-you
Great, save as always, and yes, they all need it but she especially needed it….!! 🦭
Love every rescue (even the most brutal/graphic) but the kayak approach is my fave. Well timed guys, she was damn close to the water (and close to death!!) Thanks N&W for saving her ♡
I understand that you may require me to be part of the team. If someone else paddles the kayak that at the very end when you jump out to catch the seal,I can bring the kayak onto the sand. I can cut the tag and burst into tears. Maybe after giving the seal a cwtch I will let it go into the sea . Yes, I will still be in tears.. please remember that I applied for this job first.❤❤
Support 💪❤
you are an angel thank you for your work❤🙏🙏🙏
