Seal freed from fatal frisbee ring

#frisbee #animalrescue #wildliferescue #seals
BDMLR and the Cornish seal Sanctuary saved the life of a female adult grey seal in Cornwall after it was found with a ring-style frisbee cutting into her neck. See how this seal was saved from choking to death by the brave efforts of volunteer rescuers.
BDMLR, Cornish Seal Sanctuary and Seal Research Trust have been campaigning to stop these ring frisbees being sold by retailers and purchased by customers who use and lose them in the sea. The groups would encourage everyone to think responsibly around the coast and to use the recently issued DEFRA marine wildlife watching code of conduct to minimise human impact on wildlife: marinedevelopments.blog.gov.u...

Excellent. You guys need a seal net like they have on Ocean Conservation Namibia. Great job!!! Thank you!

[@BritishDiversMarineLifeRescue]

Our seals are a different species and are much more powerful and wary so it's harder to catch them in a net

I saw one where a baby seal had a "diving ring," that kids usually play with in pools, stuck around it's neck! First time I saw that. Please don't bring pool toys to the ocean!

[@BritishDiversMarineLifeRescue]

Sadly this is becoming a more common problem for our marine animals

You should watch how OCN do this . - that’s Ocean Conservation Namibia.

[@BritishDiversMarineLifeRescue]

OCN do great work, but they have different species of seals (in fact I believe they are sealions) so the techniques are different.

[@BritishDiversMarineLifeRescue]

Thank you

[@handsfree1000]

That’s a complicated cage just for catching the rare occasions a seal needs a frisbee removed

[@BritishDiversMarineLifeRescue]

Each rescue is unique and we use whatever is appropriate to cause the least amount of stress to the animal.

[@mikeguiggey2586]

Clean up the water..

[@ramonavowinkel5987]

[@HowlingSquaw-os7dh]

They need to discontinue those Frisbee rings.

[@BritishDiversMarineLifeRescue]

Agreed
