These guys might be they only thing that does for me too

The one beside Denzil's catch around 4.40-4.50? Couldn't see any obvious entanglement, but yeah, he was obviously struggling.

I saw that. Didn't look too good.

I wonder if it was injured/paralyzed in the back, making it impossible to hump along like they do on land. Still making pretty good speed with the front flippers. Adapt and survive.

Thank you for your kind words! While we’re deeply committed to helping the seals, we know our work is just a small part of a much bigger battle. Our rescues highlight the urgent need to address the root causes of ocean pollution-like our reliance on single-use plastics and the gaps in law enforcement and recycling efforts. By sharing these stories, we hope to inspire real change that goes beyond treating the symptoms and starts tackling the problem at its source.

I saw that and was wondering if anyone else noticed. 😔

@@gidget8717 I saw it also 😔.

Yeah, I wondered if it was paralyzed in the back. But still running pretty fast with those front flippers.

Thank you very much for your concern. I feel the same and has no love lost on plastics. It slowly smothers the earth and millions of innocent animals die a slow death like the whales with stomachs full of plastic dying of starvation. i hope you recover quickly. Please read Joe Tippens blog. You can also watch his videos on RU-vid. It may just help you.

I can relate to your drive in wanting to make a positive difference in the world, especially when dealing with life changing illness. This channel inspired me to look into ocean clean-up enterprises, including ghost gear recovery, as well as stop eating seafood, changing to more environmentally friendly energy companies and bank, buy needed recycled plastic, including ghost gear plastic products, etc. I want to contribute more to the solutions than the problems. Don't forget to take care of yourself, too! ❤

​​@@marieslabbert6009Also in India. Animal Aid Unlimited on YT shows animals they rescue. The cattle eat plastic in the garbage dumps. Sometimes they can rescue them, but if they can't, it's a horrible death. They can't euthanize them due to the culture. All they can do is make them as comfortable as possible until they pass on. ❤️🙏😢

Be blessed ❤🙏

Because it's incredibly cheap as is and there is no morality in the market.

Some still do!

These Seals must be easy hunting for our ancestors 🙄 🤦‍♂

@LurkerDood Would have been. Just an observation.

@@MarySanchez-qk3hp In Namibia? Now or in the past?

I googled "which countries cull seals". There may be more information elsewhere. As of August 2024, only five countries still conduct commercial seal hunting: Canada, Greenland, Namibia, Norway, and Russia. The United States used to be involved in the industry, but now has a complete ban on commercial hunting of marine mammals, with the exception of indigenous peoples who can hunt a small number of seals each year. More than 36 countries, including the U.S. and the European Union, have also banned products derived from seals. Here's some more information about seal hunting in some of these countries: Namibia From 2005 to 2015, Namibia exported almost 400,000 seal skins. The country has an annual quota of 80,000 Cape fur seal pups and 6,000 bulls. Hunters are thought to hire part-time workers to kill the pups, which are between 7 and 11 months old, using spiked wooden clubs. Canada Some say that sealers shoot at seals from moving boats, often only wounding the pups. The main sealskin processing plant in Canada deducts $2 from the price they pay for skins for each bullet hole, so sealers are reluctant to shoot seals more than once. However, wounded seals often suffer in agony, slipping beneath the water to die slowly and sometimes never being recovered.

Hi😊👋💙 7 more wonderful rescues - including an adorably plump pup🦭❤

Hello! 👋🏼😃☀️ I was looking for this comment first, and I'll sit and watch in a minute. It looks like it was a busy day at the beach. The team must be exhausted at the end of days like this! Good to see the numbers going up, Olga! ❤
