Two Seals Saved From Entanglements

Despite their independent nature, seals show a herd instinct. As soon as the first seal runs, the others will follow, even if they don’t see the reason. Rescue runs at Cape Cross seem a lot more chaotic and unorganized than they are when hundreds if not thousands of seals are seen panicking and trying to escape from the rescue team. We use this predictable behavior to scan for more entanglements. Each rescue is different and we have to think of new ways to avoid inflicting any more pain on the already compromised animals. Most seals calm down before they even reach the ocean, or they use the moment to dive into the water to have an early lunch.

    I ❤️ it that you can still rescue with the net inside out; I ❤️ it that you can rescue when the seals are nearly on top of each other; I ❤ it that you can open cutting tools with one hand; I ❤ it that you have your own shorthand language with each other; but mostly I ❤it that you go to where the seals are day-after-day to rescue these amazing creatures and raise our awareness of what we are doing to the earth 🌎. We truly love and respect you for making the world a better place than you found it. 😊

    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.

    EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZIE!!! I absolutely know that we can bring fundraising to $13K before the weekend is over. And, as I've said before, if you can't monetarily contribute you can help make the planet a better place by reducing your use of plastics. Today I went to the grocery store and managed to purchase a couple of tomatoes without putting them in a single use plastic bag. A tiny drop in the ocean but every successful journey starts with the first step. Reduce your use and save the planet. Love and hugs to you all from me in New Mexico USA.
