    Oh my goodness, Tony and Denzil you've outdone yourselves with this rescue. The amount of effort you both put in to relieving this seal of that bloody gill net is huge and I'm not surprised you were all tired afterwards.
    It's no wonder the seal was aggravated in the beginning, she couldn't open her mouth, the net was over her eyes, and she was stressed out. She put up a good fight but the relief when the muzzle line was cut was amazing. She could breathe properly.
    Thank you both so much. I hope you have a great weekend.

    You two guys did a fabulous job on these rescues. That little pup was so adorable, but the thought of that strong, healthy seal being reduced to a slow, horrible death because of that gill net was sickening. Thank you both for all your effort and sweat that went into helping these two seals. The gill net seal looked as exhausted as you at the end, and despite your fatigue, the jackals still wanted to see if you had a sandwich in the vehicle for them. Hah! Thank you guys. This rescue has reminded me that I'm overdue on my donation, so I'll go and net my credit card and wrestle with it now.

They may not speak our language but the language and feeling of love needs no words...it needs trust and I believe they trust you and for the most part, you trust them.

What an entanglement...even she is exhausted from it. Thanks guys, for another fantastic rescue.

    And he keeps apologizing to the seal for taking so long to finish removing the net
    They are true caring heroes for these seals.

These innocent creatures, through no fault of their own, find themselves in perilous situations that could potentially lead to an untimely demise. However, thanks to the unwavering commitment of individuals like you and your team, these seals are given a second chance at life. Your exceptional work is truly commendable, and I sincerely hope that your efforts continue to shine as a beacon of hope for these magnificent creatures.

      Some rescues have veterinary rehab included, at least in the states.
      They are released back into the wild when deemed ready, usually joyful to leave people, but less than totally wild. They may not seek people out, but may pause to ponder events knowing not all.of us are foes.

    I stumbled upon your channel yesterday, and have watched your videos for hours. The work you're doing is courageous and so valuable. Of course, I knew that there was a big problem with nets and other debris causing harm to the ocean creatures, but seeing exactly what this debris does is sobering and alarming. And what you're showing us is only a tiny fraction of the problem! I've subscribed to your channel. I see you have some very nice merchandise for sale. I assume sales aid your work? I'd love to see a really cute little stuffed animal seal, perhaps with your logo somewhere, that I could buy for my grandchildren. If I had such a toy, I would present them to my grandchildren and then watch one or two videos with them, explaining how very important it is to be responsible with waste and debris. I think I'd show them how y'all are cleaning up other people's waste to help the animals, and how we can help animals in our own area by also picking up trash, even if someone else put it there. I have 5 grandchildren, so if the animals were no more than $20 each, I would buy one for each grandchild. My daughters, when they were about 6 and 10, learned about the work Mother Teresa was doing, and they raised a small amount of money to send to her. Why can't my grandchildren raise money by selling unused toys or lemonade for your organization? Just my thoughts here. Another thought: Why not consider making tiny little seals, very small, and make them available at a deep discount, for schools, zoos, school clubs, and home schooling groups? You can send packets of pamphlets, stickers, keychains, etc., and kids can use these tools to tell people about your work while raising money for your work. Maybe you already do this, I don't know. I'm just thinking out loud.
