Bolt Cutter Needed To Save Seal!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มิ.ย. 2021
- This seal had a bright blue spool stuck around his neck. He likely played with it under water, and it slipped onto his neck, and he could not get it off by himself. As he grew, the spool became tighter and tighter, stopping him from hunting and even breathing properly. The rescuers could see immediately that the spool was not movable anymore, they had to take the bolt cutter out. A first attempt to saw it off was unsuccessful, because the animal became too stressed out.
Naude used the bolt cutter to slowly chip away the hard plastic and eventually the team could bend it open and Wally managed to break it in half, which was needed to remove it from the seal's neck.
Thanks to Wally's awesome new release system, the rescuers could safely open up the front of the rescue net and watch the seal run off into the safety of the ocean, hopefully to have a big meal. The first day of his new life. 🦭

I can't imagine the pain the poor pup was in with that strangling him. He was definitely on the right beach this morning. Very well done, team.
Hopefully the seals are even communicating the beaches to go to be saved!
@@id10t98 I'm not a seal behaviourist by any means, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of them grow accustomed with what the guys do here. At some point in their small seal brain, they might be able to make an association with this particular group of human and the fact that each one of their group that gets caught survives the encounter. You can even see some of them not even running when the humans approach, but hey, that's only a big fat assumptiom from me lol.
That seal should be thankful that these humans took the time and effort to rescue it!
Amazing work. He surely would have died.
@@simonmercier6733 What would be amusing is if some of the seals realize these strangely survivable humans only grab the injured/sick seals so the healthy more aware ones are just like "Oh it's them again. They must be here for Jerry. Dude's been smelling like a pile of dead fish for weeks prancing around with that necklace on." And they just wait to see how they nab him.
Gentleman, your empathetic determination is astounding!! The fact that humans have been dumping all kinds of garbage in our oceans for degades combined with the huge Fishing Industry the cruelty & suffering humans cause our salt water mammals is repugnant!
Вот эти видео нужно рассылать на все рыболовные суда.... большие и маленькие! Пусть смотрят и делают выводы.....
Ребятам спасателям низкий поклон , глубочайшая благодарность за ваш нелегкий и опасный труд!!!! Восхищаюсь вами и волнуюсь, очень... когда смотрю ваши видео! Будьте здоровы все, мира и добра вам !
I agree, the videos of the worst injuries should be sent to the fishing companies and to anyone applying for a fishing license.
Peace and good health to you also
Боже, что только на них не было и шали, маски водолазные, лески, крючки, пакеты, мешки, пластиковые ведра, веревок сколько. Бедные котики 😢
Some fishermen won't like the seals because they eat the fish

Very saddening to see these helpless animals struggling to stay alive everyday. You guys are doing a great job.
If we would simply 'love our neighbour as we love ourselves' we wouldn't see half of the junk that happens on this planet.
Whoever designed those constraints for catching seals is brilliant.
I think that every time I watch one of these videos... But I think the team that is doing the rescues is the developer.
@@waytoson yeah since I have seen many different types of nets they use and they all are the same must be a pretty widely used design.
When they finally got off it broke my heart to see the injury it left behind. Poor baby. Thank God for these men that helped him. God Bless y'all 10fold.
Holding animals, who are in distress, holding them very firmly is actually comforting. Goes back to babyhood.
Simple but effective
I love the way you guys really work fast to reduce the stress on the seals. You guys should get proper recognition for all your hard work
Do you ever notice for a lot of the seals that once the guys have hands on and they realise they're not being hurt and also in a lot of cases being stroked that they calm down and really seem to enjoy it. Personally l have a bit of a laugh when they get riled up expecting the worst, they get straps, fishing line cut off, then get pats & cuddles and when you try to release them and they don't want to go...lol Then to finish, they keep coming back so you have to tap them on the tail so they go back in the water...lol
Now that is damned Cute!
ABSOLUTELY!
Maybe like a vanishing net? Just saying
It is pure joy to only see how the seal is helped and free from whatever entangle her/him; imagine how good must feel for these folks to be able to intervene...
They are, by He who matters
Ваша компнда провела отличную работу по спасению животного.
Ребята респект вам 👍👏🤝
Как же жалко бедных, беззащитных животных!😢 Человечество загадило всю нашу планету, и нет этому ни конца, ни края!😢 Спасибо Вам, Добрые Люди, за то, что спасаете несчастных зверюшек! На таких, как Вы, наш Мир и держится!❤

That seal got some SERIOUS relief and would have been DEAD soon without their help!
What sucks is the suffering man. No living thing should ever have to suffer.
@@-TheMaskedMan- Uh, I think I don't know any living thing that doesn't suffer.
@@hollanderson Then I guess you’ve never heard of human beings. The animals that are currently on top of the food chain.
@@hollanderson UH
@@-TheMaskedMan- What world do you live in where there are no humans suffering? Just because we’re at the top doesn’t mean we don’t inflict suffering on other humans?
If it wasn't for you guys so many seals and other ocean animals would suffer and die. Your an inspiration to all and the example you set is one that we should all admire and hope to learn from.
You truly have the biggest hearts.
Keep up the good work guys.
Thanks so very much for all your Love, Kindness, Caring, TLC, Concern, Support, Helpfulness, and Being There for all these seals that are in need of assistance - You Guys are True Seal Angels - Love, Safety, & Blessings Always
one tip though...you should consider carrying tin snips, opposed to bold cutters: they are made to cut through metal.
If my son didn't have a job and instead chose to do this as his life's work, I couldn't be more proud.

Восхищаюсь грамотным операциям этой команды. Поймать, и правильно отпустить испуганное животное.

Низкий поклон за Вашу работу!!!
To see the young man that was holding him begin to pet him after the spool was removed was beautiful to see. Can tell he cares and has a good heart.
You can already tell that they *ALL* care and have good hearts, judging from the work they're doing.
Yes ❤️
Awesome!!!!!
So wonderful of these men.True heros
That warmed my heart too
Cheers for Wally and his new release technique and cheers for Denzil for driving the OCN mobile back, saving time. All the OCN team are heroes.
Indeed they are!
Yes! "Run and get (whatever)" sometimes doesn't work! Bring the whole shebang!
Yes they are ! Well said.
So so sad to see all the different types of plastic garbage they get caught in. Thank goodness for wonderful ppl like yourselves that save these innocent animals. God bless you guys and gals. Sending you Much Aloha, watching from Hawaii.
The noblest gesture of love is dedicated to those who will be able to give nothing in return...
Congratulations!
Wally proving himself a valuable addition to the team with his genius way of opening the net and releasing the seal
Yes that was great. Loved it and so glad the seal has another chance to have a happy life.
Such a well thought out net .
That poor seal was so badly hurt. Thank you for saving him!
It is such a joy to see so many good hearted men working together to save seals! No ego. No dissension. Just kind acts for those who can’t defend themselves!
A good vegan attitude l pray 🙏
not necessarily vegan
Yeah, that had to be instant relief for that poor seal.
@@afonsodias871 that's right, it is definitely _not_ exclusive to vegan-attitude
@@davepowell7168 Mmm yummy cow
Not everyone with a heart is vegan.
Какое же вы благородное и полезное дело делаете! Молодцы!
Низкий Вам поклон за Вашу работу, Респект и Уважения👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This has cheered me up no end today. To see this poor seal slowly being strangled to death have you guys turn up and turn his life around is absolutely beautiful. Go pup enjoy your start at a second life. OCN thank you so much..
That was a horrible wound but such an interesting rescue, well done lads 😁🇬🇧
Do you heroes ever put some antibiotics on the serious wounds so that they don't get infected??
@@cynthiareilly4274 I don't think the team carries antiseptic spray, they rely on the salt water to heal the wounds
Господи !!!! Что же творится на белом свете , неужели нет такой силы что бы наказывать за такой беспредел, превратили Океан в помойную яму, страдает весь подводный мир!!!!А на этих ребят , которые спасают животных надо молиться.Огромная благодарность Вам , здоровья и терпения , все кого вы спасли плавают и Вас благодарят!!!!❤❤❤
You notice that that ring has lots of wrapped around line, very thin line on it, and as the seal grew, it got tighter and tighter, and he would’ve died for sure! THANK YOU GUARDIAN SEAL ARMY TEAM❤🇺🇸🇺🇸💖💕💕💕💕
Парни спасибо вам за вашу работу , вы делаете добро на нашей земле!
I cannot convey how impressed I am with your life saving work you all do every day and thanks to you so many seals, and ocean animals are saved from so much pain and suffering! I live in the USA and though retired more than 10 yrs from being a hospital nurse for 27 years I can't say how truly appreciative and in awe I am of all that you are and do! God bless you all every day and keep you safe!!
I do so agree with your sentiment.
I bet you never had to chase a patient with a net to remove a bandage!!
Спасибо большое за помощь животным ❤
I'm not a religious man, but it's the best English-language saying I can think of here: You guys are doing the Lord's work. If there's any justice in this world then one day at the beach, a winning lottery ticket is going to just float onto your feet. Outstanding stuff.
Как больно видеть раны у котиков. И как радостно становится, когда их спасают. Не устаю благодарить этих парней за их благородное дело.
🙏😭🙏
Seals & Hero’s. Thank you ❤️
Какие безответсвенные люди,которые выбрасывают отходы куда попало. А животные от этого страдают и погибают. И спасибо вам,ребята,что помогаете этим животным! Дай Бог вам здоровья !
Молодцы, ребята! Спасибо вам за заботу о дикой природе!
The new zipper release system seems to work very well, and keeps the rescuers safe. Thanks for that great idea, Wally!👍👏💚
I can only imagine how much pain that poor seal must have been in. If I met you guys, I'd buy you all a round of drinks.
Cheers!
me too!
You're the real men the world needs.. Compassionate and able to do what only a real man can do❤! Thank you for your service to humanity and especially to our ocean friends!
Poor pup 😢😢! Thank you gentlemen’s for all that you do to help these poor animals ❤❤
You guys are masters at your chosen craft, always prepared, never give up.
People need to stop throwing trash into the water. Great job guys!
Fishermen
That would be a dream come true! People to clean up their mess & not destroy the land & wildlife. Commercial fishers don't care what they leave in the water it is just absolutely ridiculous & cruel
@@lindakorbel6018 Defintely wasnt on purpose, it most likely fell of a boat since it still had intact line on it, no one would throw that for no reason.
Thank you for saving the animals. ❤❤
What an excruciating thing to do - and watch! I was cringing watching this and imaging the struggle for you all, and the pain and terror the seal must be going through. But you DID IT!!! Kudos to the OCN Team!!! I can't imagine the pain and agony that poor seal was going through. Simple play became an (almost) deadly noose. Bless you all!!! Now he can be a happy, eating and thriving seal again! 💙🙏🙏🙏💙🦭
I love how Tony talks to the seals to calm them down.
ALLAH razı olsun böyle insanlarda bende yardımcı olmak isterdim.
Me too they're so kind, it makes me happy😁
@@xwxo.o6068 do you think it works?
@@giftsvampen At the least, it might be confusing or distracting to them. I talk to "my" wild birds when I have to pass nearby & I hope that it has some effect. My rationale is that a predator doesn't usually make sounds when hunting so it may provide some reassurance that I'm not a threat. Same deal with the sea lions perhaps.
because seals also understand English😁

What a shame all humans can't be as fantastic to each other as these guys are to the seals. The world could be a much better place. Greetings to all our Russian friends from Australia
Какой позор, что все люди не могут быть такими же фантастическими по отношению друг к другу, как эти ребята по отношению к тюленям. Мир мог бы быть намного лучше. Привет всем нашим русским друзьям из Австралии I hope translation is correct :)

You guys are sooo inspirational ❤. More people need to be made aware of what these poor pups go through because of illegal fishing practices and ocean pollution. Thank you for your big hearts and hard work!!😊❤😊

Thank you brothers. God Bless
Молодцы, Браво!!! Спасибо, за хорошую работу. Слаженная команда.
I love how much more gear they have than when they first started. It shows how much the world has backed their efforts.
They talk about a medicine they need that will help but I don’t remember what it is .
We need funds raised for these people and the equipment you aid them.
Danke! ihr macht eine wichtige und tolle Arbeit!
That broke my heart. Many blessings to all you guys. May all of you have good karma for helping the helpless!❤
Very clever, use the tools you have to resolve the problem with minimal stress. You guys are an awesome team!
Добрые дела делаете, парни, уважение Вам на всю жизнь
Brave Men..
That's all I can Say..
Great Job Guys...
Think the seals know your helping..
Tns you guys soon much ❤❤❤❤❤
👍
Oh my goodness..really brought tears to my eyes, that poor baby. I hope I'm wrong but I wonder if these are being thrown to the seals from the boats.. Everyone knows how playful, and innocent, they are.. Seen as competition by fisherman, or just plain cruelty. So skinny, hope he can get some meals in him now to rebuild his strength. You guys truly are the very best.. Thank you so, so much. Keep safe guys 💜🇬🇧💜
That had an awful lot of line on it to be an evil trap, but I know what you mean. Some of the loops of line they find, just big enough to go around a young seal's neck - it can't be chance.
Gill Hughes, I've often wondered the same thing!!
Highly possible.
That spool had a lot of line left on it. Way too much to just throw it away. I'm sure it fell into the sea by accident.
Loops of line are used for many purposes on ships, mostly to hold other things together or to hang things up. So, most probably most of them fall into the sea by accident as well.
But it is still possibly that some of them are thrown into the sea to intentially kill seals. Cruelty and stupidity of some peoply has no limit.
I wonder if any of this ocean rubbish comes from tsunamis, hurricanes and storm surges etc. I guess things fall off boats or get washed out. I really hope there aren’t people out there that just thrown garbage into the sea/ocean. All this overfishing is so devastating 😭😤
When you say “oh” I know a hard to see video is coming, poor seals… 🥺
So much stress, suffering and work just because of careless people? 🤦♀️ Thank you all for your great work 🙏💫
Well done. Amazing rescue by amazing people! ❤
You guys are wonderful for saving seals😍 I can't imagine the pain he was in😥 Glad you have lots of tools and the nets with zippers are fantastic 🥰 Thanks 😘😘
You guys definitely saved this seals life from a long painful death, imagine the pain that must have caused him having that around his neck SO tight. Thank you so much
imagine the pain that must've caused him when he went right back into the salt water right after he was saved.
it really sucks because they did all they can do, but it makes me upset knowing that all of these seals are going to be going into the salt water where the salt is going to sting the f'ing s*** out of them.
the silver lining in it all is that the salt water should disinfect the wounds, but at the same time, this is precisely why it would sting so damn badly by going into the salt water.
@@Hello-ig1px Actually saltwater doesn't have any disinfecting properties. This urban myth most likely come due to disinfectants cause the same burning sensation as saltwater.
Actually there are way more bacteria in seawater than in fresh water. Never swim with a wound if you can prevent it.
@@Hello-ig1px When I saw that cut; I thought of my horses. Horse people use Blu-Kote or Fura-zone on cuts like that. Both come in a spray or cream, and they are anti-bacterial and antifungal. They both dry immediately (waterproof) and you can use both on dogs. I bet they would be safe on that poor little seal. I do hope the salt water helps like you said. 👍👍
@@justuskroger3409
idk dude, it is certainly up for debate whether or not salt water helps wounds.
but i find it strange how you are so confident that it is a myth.
if you look it up online, you will see 50% of websites stating that it will help heal and prevent bacteria growth.
then there will be another 50% saying the opposite.
the reason why i am pretty sure it helps is because my dentist told me to clean my mouth with my wisdom teeth pulled with saltwater.
then my doctor told me to clear my nasal passages with saline water when i had a stuffy nose.
q.i 0...speed 0....an anguish
Today it felt like watching a thoracic surgery, from the edge of my chair. Great job!

You would think that by now word in the seal community would be out that if you see these guys running at you and have something around your neck run towards them not away. :)
@Projekt Kobra
😆😅🤣
I've actually thought the same thing but, I think of ETs and how the terror from a "bad guys" abduction is also reported along with the Enlightenment or HEALING that others get from the "good guys". Then there's the confusion of who was bad or good because Fear of the unknown and some ET "abduction" cases show how the person was HEALED or taught good things but they were terrified due to the looks of the ETs but admit they weren't harmed at all.
It's Consciousness and Perception mixed with mostly FALSE REALITY, kind of like HUMANS LIVE, lol.

Какие же вы молодцы, спасибо за труд👍👍👍🤗💞
Great job, guys! Another tool that might have worked well on that "collar" would be a large end-cutting electrician's pliers. Big force can be applied for cutting, or snipping, and it can be done with one hand, plus the end would fit well onto and even between the collar and the seal. We use them around here to free deer and other wildlife from entanglements in barbed wire fences. They work very well.
Yes. I was thinking PVC pipe cutters, especially with a ratchet mechanism.
СПАСИБО ЗА СПАСЕНИЕ!
Отличная работа друзья. Спасибо Вам.
