Seal Wounded By Fishing Line

It’s really good when the seal is calm despite its situation. This helps us finish the rescue even quicker so we can free and release the seal. Rescues are a traumatic experience for both, the rescuer as well as the animal in distress. We are happy that this seal gets a second chance at life, but the majority of entangled animals are not so lucky.

    I'm glad Denzil is so fast🏃 or the poor seal might have made it to the water before you freed her from the line causing that awful wound. Thanks, team!👏

    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.

    Hi all! Seals should be plump, smooth and free of any debris on their body. Seeing a thin, and even wounded, person with a bunch of fishing line loops on his body is terrible, it’s wrong!

    Thankfully the line came free from the original wound after the poor girl lost weight, moving down to start a new wound rather than catching under the skin & flaying her, cutting below the skin until it reached a point where it was tight around the neck again, so couldn't continue moving horizontally, then it would have started cutting down & through deeper tissue again....😢 All because a fisherman discarded some line into the sea!!!!

    I can't help it, I''m obsessing on the fact that some seals run while alternating their tail fins, while others seem to 'bunny hop' using both tail fins. If I was out in the field, I would probably find out each seal actually alternates between styles, 'depending on the mood', ... but then again, maybe not! What a goofy thing to be fixated on !!! 🙂
