Dead And Alive Seal Entangled Together

  • We were too late for one of them, but the other one had a tiny little bit of fight left in her. When the rescuers from Ocean Conservation Namibia approached the two seals, they were already aware that one of them was gone, but they were hoping that at least one of them could be saved. The two were entangled together in one piece of fishing line, and there was no escape for either one of them. The surviving seal had tried hard to bite herself out of that situation, but without OCN's intervention, her life would have come to a sad end, all because of a piece of fishing line that should not have been thrown into the ocean.
    The seal was barely able to breathe, the line was too tight around her neck. The extra stress from the rescue made it even worse for a few moments, but luckily the rescuers are very experienced and know how to act fast. It took one single cut to free the seal from choking. She seemed a bit disoriented, but she quickly found her way back into the ocean.
    There are no rehab facilities in Namibia. Keeping her in her natural environment is her best chance of survival. We have seen amazing recoveries on much, much worse injuries on seals.
    It was a bittersweet rescue, but we have to stay positive and celebrate each little victory. 🦭

    Omg....... that was so disturbing. Imagine dragging your dead friend around for days, while you can hardly breathe yourself. I'm never going to forget this rescue. Thank you, Seal Whisperers, one remaining seal is still a big win. Imagine the horror of what we will never see. But what you're doing does make a huge impact. Every rescue is a life saved. This video is going to be on my mind all day......

A lot of them also get snagged on tough seaweed so I wade out at low tide and untangle them. Beaches generally are fine because it’s just sand so there’s nothing to break your line there. The ones I see are all from just casual fisherman though, not big commercial nets and lines or anything. But still, at the end of summer holiday season there’s a lot there.

      @@articcarton752 yes, fishing crews often discard trash, including torn nets and tangled up fishing line by just throwing it over board.
      It is a matter of culture, customs and education.
      Many less developed countries have very poor infrastructure for garbage disposal, so if they take the trash back to shore it may well become just as big of a problem back home. Or at least this is the perception.
