Hey enough with the hate! They aren't animals, they are Canadians.... sheesh you guys! (Yeah me too cuz, my Dad always said that you can tell how a man treats his family by how he treats his animals. Pretty telling.)
No offense but that kid wasnt "mistaking you for an american". You are the most american person I have ever seen. You are the embodiment of a westerner. There's nothing wrong with it but its good to be aware.
But he is Canadian so to think he is American is to mistake him as such. I agree he does carry himself like a western tourist but mans is not American.
Not exactly..... As a fellow Canadian I can say that anywhere that isn't America or Canada there is a clear distinction between the two. Foreigners don't like Americans. Simple as. So when we make the point to say we are Canadian, it's important. Once they learn the difference, they treat us better. 😊
I mean technically I would say American being as though Canada is in North America. Everybody is different but sometimes when people come from Europe do people not say a European? When traveling to a couple of countries in Europe do people not say I’m going to Europe?
It's a traditional Pashtun custom that dates back to pre-Islamic times. This isn't my thought but some say that it's a traditional part of Pashtunwali, the Pashtun living code. Joel
Bro, I am an Afghan and I am agree with you. Body language never lies. I think also he was planing to catch the bird and sell it again. And the reason why he can't fly was that if they don't open their wings for a long time and specially when they are in the small cage like we see in the video, will take Hours bevor they ready to go. For example if you set for a long time and you suddenly get up so you would be not able to walk properly. Sorry for my bad English.
Wow this is so eye opening. Thanks for trying to do a nice thing, shame that guy seemed to take the opportunity to be shady. And man those animals (especially the kitties) being in such rough cages was so sad. Animal rights aside the people generally seem very nice. Cool video!
Thank you for the vids in Afghanistan, seal. Been veryyy interested in learning more about this country especially as an American. Your videos have been keeping me company during a rough holiday season, ur travel journeys makes the seasonal blues a little more bearable :) Much love from NYC
After watching the TH-camr ‘Arabs’ 4 part series, by the 3rd-4th episode it seemed like propaganda and censorship media, SO SO SO glad I found u seal this shows the true terrible side of Afghanistan and is not attempting to make Taliban propaganda, big props to you..
Idk about anyone else but, parts of that were really sad. The cat just stuck in that tiny cage was horrible. I just don't understand how they can stuff all those animals in cages like that, and not even care.
Hi just wanted to say thank you for your channel!!! You’re videos have taught me so much, i can’t wait till i can travel the world like you its my dream!
A bird needs no momentum to fly. They create their own lift, it's what the wings are made for. If they are healthy and have the strength they can literally fly straight up from the ground. Those birds were just to weak after no food and water for who knows how long.
This channel makes me feel a certain way. I feel lucky for starters, and i learned that most middle eastern ppl are really big hearted. Who would have thought?
was feeling down until i saw you post :) love the way you interact with people man you're such an amazing guy literally my dream to live like this and to see every country for its beauty
Just in time to eat dinner, love your videos. You motivate me to travel :) Is there anywhere I can contact you? I’m planning my first solo trip soon and I’d love to hear about your travel experiences, tips, etc.
Hey hii , I have seen your videos it was amazing and I wanted to know that which GoPro you use and in which resolution you record ? Love from INDIA 🇮🇳♥️
I love your videos man but either way bird flu going around lots of places I’m not sure I’d be in a bird market in Afghanistan. How safe would you feel in a bat market in wuhan
I’m really sorry that this happenedL for real that’s really shitty of them to do that to you man and it’s really sad to me because I haven’t seen any bad interactions with you and anyone else in this country and that’s really sad that they had to change that. That kid thought you were an American. I kind of think that they were being assholes about the birds because they thought you were an American. It’s so sad to me what my country did and how my country has ruined the name of us civillians in that part of the world. Such a shame… oh my gosh also I was wrong. I thought I was only sober like 2 1/2 months. It’s been four fucking months. I’m really proud of myself man and I’m like seriously without a doubt in belief that I will be in Mexico by October next year.
You shouldn't of let them birds out there they will be caught and but back I that cage also they are weak they need food and some time to get stronger I see you trying to do a good thing setting them free but they are weak
0:53 to answer your questions, pigeons are mainly there for people who have the hobby of keeping them/ feeding them good / get them to crossbreed for having unique types of pigeons that worth a lot of cash . it’s called Kafter bazi, it’s very common in Afghanistan and some parts in Iran as well. Those guys loves their pigeons nobody eating them 😂😂
Pigeons and rabbits are a traditional meat source. People in the UK, US may avoid them cause they are cute or consider them dirty but their current form was created by human's involvement ( selected breeding ) in order to create a fast and large meat source
In their eyes I'm pretty sure they think you're mentally distubed. Life for them is survival and you're just floating thru on your magic carpet... You talk a lot. Like nonstop. Don't be mistaken for a man to man kinda man in Afghanistan... And officially, you're an American..
Thats what i felt too i subbed to this guy, and like attitude and content still. But i dont think he connects with the people, he just as you said, sort of floats through.
@HudsonKy yeah we know he's canadian. He said so several times just in this video. He is saying the way he acts, he may as well be american to them. What's the difference if he just floats on through as an american or a canadian?
I feel like you should brush up on the way you speak and interact with the locals. Especially in sketchy situations that you get into in a way that is more street smart, sharp, and sensible for the trip. Granted, this is otherwise hard to pull off 100% of the time and my remark is made in hindsight of your past videos. Nonetheless, I feel like it could be more beneficial for you to reflect and improve as you continue your future adventures. Overall, you're pretty solid dude and amazing for these exotic adventures. That much is true for our entertainment, especially since you are more emotionally sincere and raw with your commentary. Still, do have safe travels. I'm just feeling like you're a bit immature, amateurish, and/or arrogant at times, which can lead to an otherwise impractical boorish westerner appearance in some of your encounters. Naturally, as a viewer and for those locals in your video, too - will look at you in a bad light. TDLR: Sharpen up as you travel, stay safe, and have fun adventuring!
Omg. You’re just like me. I would do the same. Thank you for trying to save the birds. These animal markets are disgusting. They have them even in South Asia and other countries with no value for animals putting them in cages which are so tiny destroying their very existence. They need to ban them everywhere on earth
Seal, you are the Seal. Unstoppable pretty much. Now in Kabul. Would you please share a bit of your diet? I have spinal issues. That makes me think twice before venturing too far from where I am and Afghanistan isn't even far from NW India. I was born into a family where meat was frowned upon. I am open. Who knows you might end up helping me! Thank you and best wishes.
Oh and I'm compelled to write Afghanistan is so beautiful. The last time I caught a glimpse of Northern Afghanistan was a decade back while flying from JFK to IGI, Delhi. Pristine.
Let me correct you, Sir. It wasn't a "bag"; it was a traditional Afghan scarf (Khairi). Afghanis and Pakistanis, especially tribal people, wear them to protect against UV rays and dust.
Why not free those cats instead of 2 birds that obviously are going to be re captured or just die, you can’t just go into a country demanding them to change their lives to make you feel better. Yes it’s messed up but that’s what goes on in other countries. If you wanted to let the bird free you should have taken it then keep it until it had the strength to fly off but you just wanted to look like you’re doing something good without having an idea of what you’re doing
Broooo come onnnnn of course they hustled you. You tried doing a great thing and they don’t see it how we do they see money and that’s all. Lesson learned anyways I hope 😂
I appreciate your heart but you've also got to remember for these people are mistreating animals all day everyday as their job. they dont give a flying fuq about you telling them not to capture the bird again
Christ imagine going to a foreign country , then to an area where they catch and sell birds and tell them not to catch birds. I'm sorry that is just pure unadulterated arrogance.
I don’t know if this dude is dumb or just little bit slow. The guide says make funny, which probably means for enjoyment/as pets at home. It’s just a direct translation of the language. Like in our language(Middle East) we do t have a word for “Pet” but we say we keep a pet for the beauty of it, which means a Pet
I get your good will but who the hell fees a bird in a bird market? like i don't think that bird would be let free anywhere, that's like freeing a zebra infront of a pack of lions.
Why would you free them that close to where you got them from? That wasn’t that smart Seal
the bird owners kinda forced him , knowing they’ll just get it back
Because he bought them and he can do whatever he wants. Duh.. are you born yesterday? Oh wait you dumb
The animal cruelty is just so wrong.
Go watch factory farming videos

I believe they like to be called "Canadians" but yeah I agree.

He’s from Canada. So he was right when he said he’s not American. Westerner then yes

"a westerner' doesn;t make someone american
im "a westerner" and im from New Zealand and would find it highly offensive to be called american lol
As an afghan I’m ashamed of those types of people! May god free the animals first!
Do some research, whenever you see a boy and a man together that is not their Son. You will notice if after a while, they do very bad things there.
Yes I have heard of what you are referring to
Can you explain
@@antoniohernandez7171 read between the lines, thats all I can say.
Bacha Bazi is what he's talking about and you can look it up if you are interested in learning what that means.
It's a traditional Pashtun custom that dates back to pre-Islamic times. This isn't my thought but some say that it's a traditional part of Pashtunwali, the Pashtun living code.

That poor cat cramped in the cage and the tortoises with the rabbits. That's so tough to watch..

Love when I see a new Seal video out 💚

Facts dude. That guy's videos were so obviously biased.
I really hope God makes the comeback tour soon. It's all getting to be a bit much.
😂😂😂 CANADIANS ARE HILARIOUS , "LET'S GO HAVE A STERN CONVERSATION WITH THAT GUY" 😂😂😂😂
Love your videos ❤ Always really interesting and informative content😊 Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦
from one cage to another what lovely people i wouldnt have imagined.
Idk about anyone else but, parts of that were really sad. The cat just stuck in that tiny cage was horrible. I just don't understand how they can stuff all those animals in cages like that, and not even care.
Hi just wanted to say thank you for your channel!!!
You’re videos have taught me so much, i can’t wait till i can travel the world like you its my dream!
The way people treat animals is disgusting all for money if fucked up
If you grew up their you would be doing the same 😂 bahahaha
*eats meat*
the birds have to build momentum by flying down, they know that, and they let them out there because the buildings make a cage, easier to catch
no, the birds were just weren't very strong because they had been mistreated for a month
@ that doesn’t really contradict what i said🤷🏼😂 i think it’s a mix of both
A bird needs no momentum to fly. They create their own lift, it's what the wings are made for. If they are healthy and have the strength they can literally fly straight up from the ground. Those birds were just to weak after no food and water for who knows how long.
@ you can see them purposely diving down first, their wings help, they don’t do all the work
This channel makes me feel a certain way. I feel lucky for starters, and i learned that most middle eastern ppl are really big hearted. Who would have thought?
Yes please try freeing animals anywhere you go Please You’re the man bro❤❤❤
Away from the seller for some reasons
You’re a kind person.♥️
Man this one was rough. Poor animals, breaks my heart. At least you tried :(
was feeling down until i saw you post :) love the way you interact with people man you're such an amazing guy

The Birds are for making funny ?? 😂😂 what the fuck 😅
bird are for make happy, funny and exciting
very funny.... he does not speak english properly.
Those birds are malnourished, you neeed to buy the birds, take them home, feed them, hydrate them and then let them fly
Watched on patreon already! Still Wana show my love here
LITERALLY one of the oldest scams in the book dude. 😂🤦 Canadians
Great Job Bro
Bro lied about tobacco not being haram
You should try some hash
they probably wanted it released on their land so they can go and re capture and sell it again
How’d you get Ari Shafir to pose for your thumbnail?
Sad sad sad
This one was tough to make it through. Seeing blatant animal abuse makes my stomach queasy
Love these videos man!!!!
Hey hii , I have seen your videos it was amazing and I wanted to know that which GoPro you use and in which resolution you record ?
Love from INDIA 🇮🇳♥️
Ur the man dude
There should be no difference between pets and other animals.. their suffering is the same.
thumbnail goes hard
They did not like you there.Did you see all their faces.
No you are wrong
Afghanistan peoples treat their guests very good
I can't watch anymore it is upsetting.
I love your videos man but either way bird flu going around lots of places I’m not sure I’d be in a bird market in Afghanistan. How safe would you feel in a bat market in wuhan
It didn’t come from a bat lol
I’m really sorry that this happenedL for real that’s really shitty of them to do that to you man and it’s really sad to me because I haven’t seen any bad interactions with you and anyone else in this country and that’s really sad that they had to change that.
