    Спасибо за замечательное видео, где можно увидеть лица членов команды OCN, а то в их видео только мордочки тюленей и босые ноги 😁 Конечно, им в команде очень не помешал бы ветеринар! Обездвиживать крупных тюленей с помощью дротиков со снотворным, обрабатывать раны, вырезать особенно глубоко врезавшуюся леску... Да и первую помощь оказывать парням сразу на пляже, и не йодом, а сразу антибиотиком! Всегда очень переживаю за их укушенные руки-ноги!
    Удивительная команда! Редкий в наши дни пример энтузиастов, которые тащат свое дело несмотря ни на что! 💖

My husband & I would love ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 so much to go to Namibia 🇳🇦 & go out w/Team OCN onto Pelican Point, but, we don't want to be in their way. We can be w/them in Spirit, donate, buy their merchandise & pay to watch their upcoming movie "Cutting The Line". We have already told so many of our friends who also Subscribed, told their families & friends & will pay to watch their upcoming movie "Cutting The Line". God Bless 🙌❤ U Team OCN 🙏 & Ur families & the Seals 🦭. P.S. If I could get a mailing address I'd like to send U a case of HIBICLEANSE it's what's in ALL Hospital ER's. It's used to cleanse wounds & it's available over the counter ❤

    I'm so happy that you raised that amount to donate to OCN but I must tell you, this had to be the weirdest initial segment I've ever seen. Until Katja stepped up and gave us the history of OCN I didn't think I'd continue watching this but...I'm here. To have Antoine join the team by happenstance was one of the best things that could have happened and to have Denzil come on board followed by Wally & Cat is just amazing. That IS the nucleus of the team with others coming in and out but THEY are the mainstays. Each of them is worth their weight in GOLD! What they have done in Namibia is nothing short of spectacular. The Seal population would have dwindled without their care and expertise. These are loving, serious and talented people who have put their hearts and souls into what they do and I, for one, appreciate every minute of film I see. The precious lives they save, the injuries they help heal and the dedication they maintain is astounding and beautiful. Please give all you can to their cause and help them to bring relief to the seals in Namibia. Thank you!

    I've been following OCN for awhile now, and I'm amazed how many seals need rescuing. I love the way the guys talk to the seals. Some of the injuries have been horrific. There was one that was close to being decapitaed, hopefully it was able to heal. Love you guys. And thank you for your hard work.

    I absolutely love these rescue videos. You guys are incredible! Couple questions… Have you four guys ever run track in high school? Because from my vantage point, it looks like you fellows are so darn fast, especially Densel, & Tony? Also, I know you’ve already heard before that Tony talks so sweetly to the seals, but then again so does Wally. He’s always telling them, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry”, so sweet. Second question.. can you get Tony to let his hair down? All the ladies in my family thinks he is just so darn cute! Truly thanks for all you do.

    AWESOME Live Stream that I've only JUST caught up on. I found this on OCN's channel, but truly believe that instead of linking your video, they ABSOLUTELY have to mirror this, and show it as one of their own uploads with all credits to you of course!
    I too am feeling extremely REWARDED, having posted comments about OCN's incredible work on a mere handful of videos over the past week to 10 days, and during this shortest time, have seen their SUB count go up by an incredible 13K SUBS!!! 💪🙏🥳💥🤣🥰🎉 That's absolute PROOF that it takes so little to help these beautiful souls GROW!
    THANK YOU and all your loyal subs for helping out as much as you do as well. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU! 🙏🥳😍

    Would have liked to ask Tony why he decided to stay and work. Here in California there are 2 teams for the entire state to do rescues, any privateer would have all kinds of issues trying to make rescues with the government and the local authorities, they're a hindrance more than a help. Thanks for raising so much money for them, they don't do many livestreams and it would be nice to do more.

    Is tagging the seals you are able to rescue a possibility in the future? It seems that would help to identify those who have old scars at a distance. Also it would be nice to have a waterproof antibiotic antiseptic spray you can initially apply to some of the more drastic wounds; possibly ease the discomfort while the sea water complete the healing process. Keep up the good work.

    I really love what you guys do and how you go about it. Its fantastic Naude has taken what he knows from his fathers experience and has now put it into practice in Namibia. Its good the govt is aware of what your doing but as a third world government I hope that doesn't ever change for you. Its good you brought up the parcel issue. I am sure many many people want to help and choose to help you their way - its unfortunate its a third world country and has the accompanying issues. People should be encouraged to just provide funds to you and its great you can get paid by UA-cam for these amazing videos. It has to better if you just buy what you need to do this job. I understand Katja and Naude has the kayak business - of which I know nothing - but I can see it may be a way forward to just keep doing what your doing and then just pay yourself a living wage from the incoming monies. Maybe COVID provided a way for you to understand how much the environment needs your team to do this. I wouldn't encourage any other people to do visits and want to do volunteering etc. The team you have is fantastic and I have not once seen or heard any one of them taunt or be nasty to a seal at all. If cowboys start doing this too (for kicks or money) that will change and so its better if Katja and Naude and their immediate team keep a tight rein on this. I have to say that Denzil is a bloody startled gazelle once he gets running. Amazing and that Antoine is not far behind him either. He can move too really well. Wally and Francois are very respectful to the seals too. I will contribute when I can and wont ever send you a parcel. I do think you as a team and group of like mind ed individuals can progress this in a respectful manner.
