Seal's Head Covered In Gill Net

  • Gill net entanglements should not happen in Namibia because this particular type of net is illegal. Many countries have banned gill net due to the high amounts of by-catch like this seal. Once entangled in a gill net, the animal has no chance to ever get out of it again. It can no longer move or eat properly and will eventually find a very sad end. We do not know if a gill net broke loose somewhere or if the responsible fishermen dumped a piece of gill net over board because it is easier than discarding it properly - but we do know that this seal had very little time left.
    The fishing industry is highly unregulated and even existing laws are often poorly if at all enforced. This piece of illegal net found in Namibian waters is the proof. 🦭

    Oh my goodness, Tony and Denzil you've outdone yourselves with this rescue. The amount of effort you both put in to relieving this seal of that bloody gill net is huge and I'm not surprised you were all tired afterwards.
    It's no wonder the seal was aggravated in the beginning, she couldn't open her mouth, the net was over her eyes, and she was stressed out. She put up a good fight but the relief when the muzzle line was cut was amazing. She could breathe properly.
    Thank you both so much. I hope you have a great weekend.

    You two guys did a fabulous job on these rescues. That little pup was so adorable, but the thought of that strong, healthy seal being reduced to a slow, horrible death because of that gill net was sickening. Thank you both for all your effort and sweat that went into helping these two seals. The gill net seal looked as exhausted as you at the end, and despite your fatigue, the jackals still wanted to see if you had a sandwich in the vehicle for them. Hah! Thank you guys. This rescue has reminded me that I'm overdue on my donation, so I'll go and net my credit card and wrestle with it now.
