      There is a small percentage of seals who are that calm even when a rescue takes longer and get's painful. When a seal is so calm I always wonder why it acts like that. Is it calm because it knows they are here to help, or is it already very weak and ill and gave up on life?

      Agreed! I imagine we see 1/10th of the rescues. It is far more important to free these creatures from the entanglements, than for us to see the whole process from stalk to release. I imagine just the editing and posting time takes hours - and the UA-cam audience sees new rescues daily, which shows your dedication to helping these animals. I can’t imagine the carnage we would see on those beaches if the OCN Team wasn’t on duty. How many other beaches world wide have entanglements….without a dedicated team of rescuers?

      It may be that somehow repeated 'free-ings' of otherwise unharmed animals are communicated around the seal population so, at the least, they may be less frightened by the experience. In time, it could become 'the place to come' for line trapped seals.
      An evolutionary leap, of human / animal symbiosis, just speeded up.

    Antoine, don't worry about the forgotten record button. We all know how it looks when you run after a seal. We like to see it but if we sometimes don't, it does not matter. The dedication and professionalism you show in every rescue and the way you and the other team members respect and trust each other and understand each other without many words needed, is beyond anything words can describe.
    What happened to Denzil's thumb? I hope he is ok again.
    It is not enough that gill net is illegal to use. It must be made illegal to own one. This is the only way to effectively bring gill net users to court.

      i hear almost everywhere about Gill nets etc.. IF you have the time and want to do it. Maybe do a little educational Video about teh entanglements (Which are illegal like Gill net and which are legal) mabye show the difference between a gill net and a "normal" net. Also maybe a state of your work what projects are on the horizon hows it going. All that in one or maybe more videos. Maybe when theres a storm and you cant do rescues just an idea.

      Hi Naude, Katja, Antoine, Denzil and Wally. That wee seal was so compliant. I am sure she understood that you were doing your best to help her. My OCN hoodie has arrived and has had its first outing!

    Намучился котяра, поэтому терпеливо принимал помощь. Они уже понимают, что ребята их спасители. Браво! И низкий поклон вам ребята!

    When she gets back to her peeps:

    Seal: i dunno...but they had the biggest hemostats i've ever seen!

    Great seeing the long forceps as an addition to your toolkit.
    Hoping she may be healthy enough now to breed in the coming season.
    Better soon Denzil, our Lionheart.

      @@1000teresa4ever I know that Kat is part of the team She has even a single handed catch in “Catch Me If You Can” I just mean this was the first time that we saw her hands so close to the sharp end of the seal. She needed hand protection too!👐🏻

    Thanks for the info on Denzil's thumb in the Description! We realize you have a dangerous job and any signs of bandages causes some worry, so i appreciate you recognizing and pre-empting that.
    Also *_very_* glad to see the longer clamps!
    She was such a good and patient girl! She may not have been able to snap at first with the netting in her mouth - although i'll give her credit for not snarling, anyway - but she was so quiet! No growling or rumbling at all. Kinda weird, really... Wonder if she'd heard about your good works from her friends...?

    • @mws8389
      @mws8389 3 роки тому +1

      She might have had a personal experience with the team. After all, they've by now helped more than 1200 seals in two years, so the chance of a seal getting rescued twice is getting bigger all the time.

    That was the sweetest seal ever. So calm, lying very still. I liked that rescue very much. Everyone was careful. That seal wanted to thank you, but you know how they are. Running away is a good practice for prey animals. She watched you from afar.

  • @cousiwa09
    @cousiwa09 3 роки тому +4

    This would have to be the best you've done so far. You can see gratitude in her eyes and her calmness and patience. Bless you all❣️. I hope she survives the 'harvests'. Over here they've begun a wild horses cull in the Alpine high country... All these precious animals being killed because there are "too many" well... There's far too many humans on this planet and it's ironic that humans are the sole culprits creating the worst destruction to the planet!!!!!!
