Seal Rescued from Big Hook
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- A good start to the rescue day - Antoine has been looking for a particular seal for a while, and today was the day she was caught and rescued from a piece of fishing line. It was a typical catch and cut rescue, only a few short minutes from start to finish. The second rescue took longer, the rescuers from Ocean Conservation were faced with ANOTHER hook in a seal's mouth. We assume that there is a food shortage and seals are "stealing" bait from long liners and accidentally getting hooked in the process. The rescuers get their tools ready, they know it won't be a quick rescue, and carefully remove the hook from her mouth. It is hard to watch, but there is a happy ending: she is back in the ocean and is expected to make a full recovery. The rescue happened on time. 🦭

I'm quite addicted to this channel. These days, we need our faith in humanity and simple kindness restored. You guys provide that. Well done.
Me too, I look forward to it posting every morning (by my time).
@@timl.b.2095 I schedule these videos, viewing two, three, or more times, and sometimes they are the best part of my day.
Exactly. When I begin to wonder if there is any good in the world, I can remember this team and know, for certain, that there is.
Guilty as charged.
Yep, Look forward to these everyday, getting the rest of my family and friends hooked as well ( pun intended). Don’t forget to hit the like button 🙂
You guy have inspired me, so on a recent holiday l spent hours walking along the beaches collecting the rubbish and fishing lines from the waters edge. Bless you.
Gracias a ti también RonnieRoo22. Salud 🤙
I live near a beach, and I walk my dogs there every morning. We always come back home with a bag of garbage that has washed up. I wish there were more people like you, doing the right thing! Its worth noting that picking up ANY trash is good, because all rivers eventually lead to the sea, so even garbage on land has a good chance of tangling up an aquatic creature eventually, unless we pick it up and dispose of it properly! Everyone can contribute, even if y'all don't live near the ocean.
Yes me too!
Omg
Thank you, Ronnie.
Wow, the whole team is getting as fast as Denzil now!! 😱
I’ll never get tired of hearing Tony comfort the seals 🥰
me either
👍👍
Same! Also I'd love to see a race between Tony and Denzil, bet it would be close!
Nah, Denzel just let's everyone think that, he's holding back. 😂
Me too 😂
ГОСПОДИ...бедное животное 😢😢😢Спасибо добрым людям за доброе сердце и душу ❤❤❤❤❤ДОБРОТА СПАСЁТ МИР!!!❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've said it before and I'll say it again. There will be a special place in heaven one day for angels like you.❤️
Heaven is on earth or it could be like this men show us every day.
There is no heaven. God is a man made myth. You must know this by now.
St. Peter will have the Gates of Heaven wide open for you guys 😊
Oh dear sweet girl if ever there was a perception of a seal understanding- it was in her eyes as she followed your movements during her procedure. Even in biting the bolt cutters she didn’t bite in anger but in cooperation. What a good patient!! What a great “surgical team “. Well done OCN
A wonderful comment thank you and so true. 🙏🙂
I don't think she understood, she was probably terrified. If they took that net off at any time she'd be gone in an instant. My guess is it was submissiveness in the face of overpowering force.
Amen!! ❤️
Made me squeamish watching it. Good work everybody.
Ellen Schneider. I couldn’t agree more! Every word in your comment rang true! She DID understand ! Sometimes we just don’t give animals enough credit. But she knew exactly what was going on! And with all our guys talking to her, and encouraging her! Her cooperation, and our AMAZING OCN team working together , made for a Wonderful outcome!!! ROCK ON OCN!! Rock on!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯💯🥰
"Careful, she is going to suffer", "What a good patient", you guys are truly amazing.
The group effort, the cohesiveness and unity of your group is a role model.
God bless you all.
I swear your team should get a nobel peace prize!!! Thank you for ALL you do for these seals the planet and all of us who watch!
Namaste
is there a way we can nominate them ?
Nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize require no invitation, but are only considered valid if submitted by a person who meets certain criteria. You may find the list of criteria on this website.
God's people 🙏🏼
@@papabear5675 How is this bringing peace to the world? I'm not denying that it's good for nature, but that's not what the prize is for.
@@perberger809
The prize is for war bringers, like former president Obama.
Спасибо,ребята!Вы творите добро окружающему миру!!!
I am booked for a cruise in 2023. I will proudly be wearing the tee shirts I bought with your logo and spreading word of your organization all over the Caribbean. I have shared your videos in Canada and people love what you’re doing!
One cannot imagine the pain the seal is going through, and the fear, not knowing what's gonna happen next ... and being so quiet under these circumstances, unbelievable. Thanks to the team!
❤
Totally, my heart breaks for them. Sad knowing 90 percent are out there and will never get help
After being assaulted day in and day out by the most depressing news of the day, you have no idea how uplifting and melancholy your video's are to a very tired and jaded 79 year-old.
I bought a T-sheet, coffee cup and made a donation.
Life does have (at last) have it's happy moments.
Stay safe and happy.
No one is here forever.
Wow beautiful! Thank you so very much for sharing with us😀
I'm right there with you James! Finally, some damn good news! Just subscribed to my new happy place!
What a ❤️ komment!
Damn...🙂
Очень человечные люди. Спасибо вам за вашу работу и труд
Man you guys are becoming board certified surgeons !!
Your team is doing a Wonderful job of saving these helpless animals. The pain these animals endure is unimaginable. Absolutely amazing work!
Ваша команда -- просто СУПЕРРРР!!!! Здоровья ВАМ И благополучия!!!! Огромное СПАСИБО Вам за вашу самую нужную на планете РАБОТУ!!!! УДАЧИ!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍✊✊✊✊✊✊✊🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮
She knew! Unfortunately she couldn't say thanks, but I can.
You are amazing people, please keep doing what you're doing.
Дуже дякую вам за вашу працю і чуйні серця! Нехай Господь благословить вас всіх!
Благодарность Вам, Ребята, от всей души!!!🙏🙏🙏
Puts tears in my eyes seeing him/ her running back into the ocean. All of you guys deserve a TY.
Весь фильм держал в напряжении . Спасибо ребятам за помощь животным!
Great job. What a wonderful gift 💝
Tony calling the seal My Love after. Must feel good for the seal to hear something as comforting as that.
🥰 It was so sweet
That was incredible teamwork. Poor little seal 🦭 She was so good!! I think she knew you were helping!
Спасибо за спасение тюленя! Я думаю, что животные общаются между собой и они понимают, что вы им помогаете…)
Храни Вас Господь!!!
🙏🏻🌞🙏🌎💐🌹🌏💖🌍💞💖☀️☀️⭐️💫❣️❣️
I can't say it enough. Thank you for making the world a better place and helping those animals.
I have been watching this for a long time! You guy are 10:11 wonderful! Please-talk to them to they it it makes them calm them.
Thank you so much my heroes for saving their lives ❤️ wishing you all a nice weekend 😊🙋🏻
I'm glad that you all developed a reliable way to deal with hooks like this. And wonderful to see such a well behaved seal for this rescue
Rather than well-behaved, she is exhausted, in pain, and temporarily out of fight.
@@Ddrhl I mean yeah, but the first two of those descriptors don't stop a lot of other seals from putting up a fight.
What blows me away are the different personalities of these animals. Some know they are helping others fight all the way. Absolutely loved the last seal. Thank you for doing what I can't.
Amazing!! Love you guys. You are making life worthy and meaningful. Keep it up. I wish our society improves thru such videos spreading kindness and making life worthy.
Best behaved seal ever!! She definitely seemed to know you were trying to help her.
Вы лучшие! ❤ Счастье, что на Земле есть такие прекрасные люди! Храни вас Бог!🙏
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time with that hook. Wow! Just, Wow! Outstanding teamwork, gang!
So was I, i caught myself gripping my chair lol
Animals are so very intelligent. And have such capacity for tolerance, the longer these guys are there the more cooperative the seals will be.
Молодцы, низкий вам поклон за вашу доброту и самоотверженность.
Восхищен Вашим мужеством, смелостью и профессионализмом. 👏👏👏💕💕💕
Translation: "Delighted with your courage, courage and professionalism"
Вот они, настоящие мужики!!!
That seal had such an expressive face and eyes. I was certain she understood and was grateful to you. You are angels to her.
Im impressed that you never really get relaxed, you are always aware they are wild and dangerous and give them respect. Getting complacent can be very easy on any Job
It's really fascinating how you're able to diagnose and formulate a strategy so effectively. Well done guys!
Молодцы, хорошее дело делаете, удачи вам и терпения 👍
Thank you, Antoine and all the rescue team from Ocean Conservation Namibia for helping this beautiful seals. God bless you .
Tony to seal #2: Yes, you know already, the trick... The seals are also getting better at the hook rescues! Word must be getting around!😉👍👏🙏💙
I do think they will gradually learn these guys are no danger, but only there to help.
Who knows, the word may already have got around, and all seals with line around their necks or hooks stuck in them now come here for 'treatment'.
That was the best seal ever. She had to have known you were rescuing her. Again, fantastic team work.
I wonder ... whether the seal community builds an understanding over time that you are not predators, and associates your team with helpful acts. Regardless of this wishful thinking, you're doing incredible work! Thanks for your real service to life.
I have wondered the same thing, are the seals getting to understand the situation. With the response of some of the seals I would say no. But after this rescue and another where the seal turns a sits beside Naude for a moment I think it could happen. I do hope though that one day these rescues will no longer be necessary. Until that day keep up the great work OCN.
Certainly the result is visible. Some UA-cam uploaded by some gentlemen show how some sea animals like turtle, whale, sharks are coming near to humans seeking help from them. After sometimes these poor fellow will also understand that all humans are not alike.
Actually it's well known that sea animals will seek out humans for help. Especially whales and dolphins.
I've wondered the same thing
Absolutely WOW! That was ONE Epic rescue! Think the next little fish is going to be so tasty for the seal! Ocean Conservation Namibia you guys are kings among men!
Молодцы спасибо вам за спасение животных!!!!!!
You guys are heros. Absolute respect.
She knew you were there to rescue her! Made me a little teary 🥲 with joy! You’re such an amazing team! I’m still in awe! Love you guys! 🦭♥️🙏♻️
me too 😥 😂
Watched this on Patreon the other day. I'm more and more impressed with your techniques you guys! Keep it up, and hopefully others are learning and adding skills to animal rescuers around the world.
God Bless You 🙏 guys for saving her
Благодарность огромная этим ребятам,за их тяжелый труд!!!
What a terrific example of team work, great job.
She was so well behaved and trusting of you guys. Great work as always..
У меня создалось впечатление, что бедное животное понимало, что ему оказывают помощь! Спасибо вам, ребята!
👍👍💯💯💯
She is a really good girl! Still I'm glad to see that you guys have got some tools to do those operations safely. I think the knowledges and experiences that the team has established are amazing, don't you think so?
An absolutely outstanding job by everyone. That poor girl probably hasn't been able to eat since getting hooked. Now she'll be able to feed and grow even bigger. Wonderful job, guys. ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊
Yes you are Amazing.. Thank God these seals have you. Much much respect and ❤
The seal knows that you are his savior.well done .another great rescue OCN.
…. ❤️ ….
She totally understood you were helping her : ) God bless you guys and thank you!
yes. she understood. imagine the pain she was in. but totally calm.
It just never ceases to amaze me how wonderfully kind you precious people are! Angels indeed ❤❤thank you so much God bless you all
Awwww she was such a good patient. That hook was so big, thank goodness you guys got it out. Thanks OCN! 🙏🦭👍
I think she knew you were helping her, she hardly struggled. Great job guys! You’re awesome!!!
I’m glad I ran into these videos. I never knew anyone did this type of rescues. Kudos to this organization for caring so much for these beautiful animals
A friend of mine does this for pigeons in San Francisco. Their feet can become bound in hair, string, etc. They untangle their feet. Much like this though they're not wrangling 200lb seals. (Or however much seals weigh, you get the idea tho) ❤
Im glad she was more cooperative than the one that had the hook near his eye . She made the rescue so much easier
Just heartbreaking as usual! So glad you hero’s are out there doing what you can. True compassion! 😔
OMG, you guys are looking more like a surgical team every day!! What a sweet little seal patient.
Ugh, that was tough to watch. As always, God bless you in what you do. Hoping the new tools help you out.
I have so much love and respect for these awesome rescuers. Western Australia
You work as if you were one. ❤️ Such patience with one another #2: it had to have hurt and yet she stayed calm as if she knew you were trying to make her feel better. Thank you for all you do, ❤️
Impeccable team work! Well done! Hello from Tasmania,Australia….
I was left speechless and speechless. YOU ARE GREAT MAN with a big HEART and a lot of courage. Thanks for EXISTING ❤....egi 🇮🇹
These guys are true, true heroes ❤❤❤
Damn... I felt that all the way over here in Florida!! But the OCN oral surgeons are getting better each time, and they made fairly quick work of this hook-in-jaw extraction. Great work, guys!!
Вы дарите жизнь морским животным, дай бог вам здоровья милые люди.
That sweet baby, how scary and painful.
Amazing job improvising and figuring it out on the fly and now new tools on the way to help. Great job, Thank you for your work.
You guys are absolutely great doing a job to save seals. Something I would love to do keep up the vids.
OMG! This has to be the GREATEST Rescue of All Time!!!! Seal HEROES ARE THE BEST!!!!
These guys are all so brave and I love how they always talk to all the seals and try to keep them calm. You can tell they all really care. It gives me such hope to watch them save as many as they can!
For the last seal, I can’t imagine how much longer this would’ve taken if she hadn’t been cooperating with the team! I’m glad she’s okay! ❤
Thanks
Только уважение и благодарность этим людям ! Им вернётся все с благодарностью и любовью от всего живого !
Ребята! Вы просто герои, вы делаете жизнь животных комфортнее, Спасибо Вам Огромное. Санкт-петербург Смотрит.
Good job, OCN!
Am happy for the Seals!💦🦭
Благодарю вас добрые люди 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Tausend Dank❤❤❤ toll was Ihr macht❤❤❤ bitte niemals aufhören❤❤
Thank you so much gentlemen for what you are doing. As painful as it is to watch, the joy I get in seeing the seals get released from whatever painful situation they were in is unmeasurable. Wish I could hug both the seals and all of you. Un gros merci messieurs les héros!
It was nice to see some clear skies and green/blue water too. You folks are amazing, thanks!
Thank you very much for helping our seals looks like ya'll are the real heroes of the world
Thank you guys for your humanity towards all creatures great and small.❤️
An amazing rescue! Absolutely needed a team effort and everyone had a job to do to make this happen! 👍 ~Sharon
Awesome job guys, love Antoine's gentle way.🇨🇦🍁🐘👣🧡
It's amazing how far your team has come in the short time you've been doing this! Keep up the good work.
Plakala jsem - jak byl druhý tuleň trpělivý a spolupracoval i přesto, že zásah byl nepříjemný a bolestivý. Chudáci zvířata. Záchranářům veliký dík za každého tvora, kterého zbaví utrpení, diskomfortu - mnohým jejich zásah zachrání život. Moc děkuji za vaši náročnou, ale smysluplnou práci.💕🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭
From around the world we are all applauding you for your great effort to free the pain of these magnificent and wonderful seals. From the button of our hearts THANK YOU for your commitment.
Cada resgate com mais técnica, uma equipe maravilhosa.💚💚👏👏👍🙏🤗
Боже,какое великое дело вы делаете в этом жестоком мире!!! СПАСИБО ВАМ!!!
Да ❤❤❤
Brilliant work guys!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
poor babe, that must have hurt so much, thanks for all the great work that you do for these seals
I love how Tony never forgets to give those scared beautiful seals a bit of a few kind words and some rubs before there on there way! 👍😍
It's times like these that I wish that you had the assistance of a vet. They could lightly sedate the seal and use a mouth retractor so that you could get better access to the mouth and also reduce your bite risk. However, I was so very impressed by how calm this seal was and how well you worked as a team. Fantastic work!
The sedation of pinnipeds is a very complex process and considered much riskier than of terrestrial mammals because of their proximity with water and their anatomical and physiological adaptations related to diving. A rescue operation with sedatives would also take on average 10 to 15 times longer, possibly causing the Cape fur seal to overheat.
@@OceanConservationNamibia Thanks for explaining this. Just wondering about antibiotics also? Or does the salt water help the wounds?
Another amazing rescue by the whole team.
You all are amazing!! I give you all so much respect for what you do. God love you and watch over you always. Thank you for all you do
Bless you all❣If I had a hook like that in my mouth, I don't know i could have remained as calm as this seal.
Can’t believe poor little must have been in so much pain. Thank you for saving her
