Just think how many seals you have saved when you go out on a solo patrol. Maybe the execution is not always as perfect as you expect from yourself, and the frustration in your voice is obvious, but the end result is more than worth it. Thanks, Antoine!👏🙂
You did the best you could given the problems you faced. In the end you removed the line and the baby seal is free. The end result is wonderful and that is more important than how you got there. If life was perfect the seal wouldn't have been entangled in the first place.
The rescue takes as long as it takes, depending on the circumstances. The end result is worth it...a live seal, instead of one that has died a horrible, slow death. Thank you for your compassion. 🙏
@@Xan_xrave The seal can do so much that you cant predict, the cubs are normally calmer than the adults but they only take of their gloves if they really really had to which was not the case here.
I bet that _everyone_ who sees this thinks you did a brilliant job, Tony. Sometimes it's just not going to go smoothly. That pup can now live long and well, free of that terribly painful garrote thanks to your careful, skillful work.
Yes you did a Great job.. please don't feel bad. We are all here cheering you on. I admire you so much being our there on your own never once hesitating. I say Bravo Tony. and a Huge Thank you ❤️ 😊
Yes! Brilliant job indeed! That little booger was quite a character and you handled him very well. I feel so bad for him having to go thru that pain for so long. Till he met you, and now has a chance to live pain free. Thank you!
I Love when he says "Joker Smile"!🦭 Tony, U did an Excellent Job by Ur self&Hopefully the Seal will Recover😇🙏💙"Joker Seal" giving U a Hug with his Flippers~Priceless❣️
Разговоры с детёнышами это - сюсюканье, слюни и сопли. Его задача спасти животному здоровье и жизнь, сам ни чем не рискует. Он не один. Есть товарищи рядом, которые помогут. Но у этого слюнявого парня трусливое и гнилое сердце. Нежные разговоры пусть прибережёт для своих девок или парней.🗿
"That's the joy of doing rescues on your own...when you get something complicated like this, you're still on your own." But without you, the seal had no chance at all. Thank you for never giving up.🦭😇❤️
On your own, bad scissors, seal hugging your arm. You SHOULD BE proud of yourself!! That was a difficult rescue and you freed the lil guy! Great job Antoine!!
You should be proud of yourself. The pup didn’t understand that you were trying to help him. You left him better than you found him. Love how you were talking to him.
You should be Proud of yourself. Again going above and beyond, not giving up, staying until the job is done, staying calm under the pressure and single handedly. You're an awesome person in an extraordinary team
I know the whole team @ OCN deserve global recognition and awards but Antoine comes across as extra special (no disrespect meant to the rest of the team)
Seeing blood gushing out from the reopening wound make me feel so bad for both of you. For the pup who had to endure the pain, and for you who had to do it to help the pup. Hopefully he’ll heal quickly
Antoine talks to this little seal the way I talk to my doggie. This seal was blessed to be rescued by such a compassionate man. I love these videos. ❤ 🦭
You did what you could in a difficult situation and ultimately freed the poor pup. Please don't beat yourself up. You are a hero. Your language highlights your genuine frustration at finding yet another animal entangle in gill net. Don't ever apologize!
Tony, you are so sweet and compassionate. “Ok puppy, we’re going to stop hugging. I know you’re in pain.” Your kindness and humanity touches my heart.❤️🥰
I really don’t understand why you aren’t proud of your self Tony! 🥺 You managed to fulfil a very difficult task all alone and with equipment that didn’t work probably. You were the one saving this hugging little seal puppy all by your self, and I know for certain, that I’m not the only one that are immensely proud of you❣️ You’re not only a seal whisperer, but also a hero. Thank you for all your hard work. 🌹🌞🍀❤️🤗
How can you say that you are not proud of yourself right now mate? You are doing more than most of the human race is NOT doing. I am new to the channel and what you are doing is so palpable and really does bring me to tears. I didn't realize that this was a thing in this world and what you are doing is really amazing. I wish there were more people like you and your team around in this world. “Those who protect and save other animals lead the way in protecting and saving humanity and earth.” ~ Jane Goodall - Subscribed - Donated - Thank you so much OCN
I am new to watching these amazing rescues carried out by such selfless individuals. It also brings tear to my eyes as I watch safe in my home in Nova Scotia. God bless these incredible guys, but I am wondering when we will see some women involved on the beaches. Thank you, guys, for all you do for the seals and our ocean.
@@pattymintz9427 -- you should check out more videos ... Naude and his wife Katja founded the OCN, and Wally's wife Kat is also a member who goes along and video records many of the rescues. There's also a new member, Angela, who is more behind-the-scenes helping with all the graphics and computer stuff. They're all SUCH an AMAZING team! ❤
Oh, Antonie, you did a great job! You were on your own with a really difficult entanglement that just kept showing how bad it was with every turn of the pup. But you got it done! This pup is going to be able to heal now thanks to your hard work and struggling. You didn't give up, even with all the obstacles that kept presenting themselves, and you got the job done! And that is amazing.
Amazing you were able to accomplish such a feat one handed with a frightened baby, and a not so great anymore pair of scissors. Antoine your a hero! Thanks for taking us along.
Poor baby and Antoine too. Such a difficult rescue to do alone. I love listening to Antoine’s conversations as he works. It’s easy to tell by the way he talks to the seals just how much he cares about each one and the job he is doing. You’re a treasure, Antoine.
10+ minutes of Tony exhausted over fighting the net to save the adorable seal. 10+ minutes of viewers watching Tony show absolute love and passion for his job helping animals. Tony... The Seal whisperer ❤️❤️❤️
@Ирина Амлински I'm assuming you are a professional at this type of stuff. 😐 Since YOU seem to watch daily, as I watch their videos everyday, you should know that HALF of the time the hook WON'T CUT! In addition, Tony did what he could by himself! Clearly, this was a challenge for him. Most of their videos are less than 5 mins. He was working on this case for 10+ minutes trying his hardest not to further hurt this seal AND not injure himself. He handled it amazingly! So... you go out there and do what these awesome people do everyday. Make sure you avoid getting bit or injure your body holding down a stong seal. If not... sit down, shut the eff up and stop watching this channel if it bothers you so damn much.

@Ирина Амлински 🤝это точно, что чел не удалил тонкую леску на шее детёныша. Повздыхал и отпустил ребёнка со смертельной удавкой на шее. Очень жаль малыша💔😟
Antoine, you did great. Working alone with a feisty, strong puppy like that...so much admiration for you. You did it! You saved that little one. Thank you, love how you talk to them all. You are a fantastic seal whisperer.From Australia with respect.
I don't know why, but I got SO much joy out of hearing you say, "Okay, puppy, we're going to stop hugging..." - I love, love, LOVE how he talks to them! Never stop hugging the puppies! 🥰 And no worries, you did a phenomenal job, especially since you were alone! You saved that little puppy's life!
Brilliant rescue, Antoine!!!.... Since you're working alone, this rescue required the seal to be part of the team... and, of course, the cute little seal was!!! 😊 🧡❤💙💜💖💗🧡 Your gentle words were comforting to not only the seal, but to all of us watching!!! Thank you!!!
Brilliant work on your own Antoine! Well done for persevering with a difficult rescue 👏🏼 Love your sweet puppy talk as always 💙 Damn that awful gill net! 😠 Hope the poor pup can recover and heal well.
@Ирина Амлински there is a saying which in going to adjust a bit to respond to you. Those who can, do. Those who can’t, criticise! Tony was doing a rescue alone, without the benefit of his team’s back up. The seal was a fighter, forcing him to basically work with one hand on a thrashing patient, with a tool that unexpectedly malfunctioned. He was out in the sun, wind, and sand working up a set and dodging painful bites to save an innocent animal from an awful death. You were sitting in your comfortable chair nicely criticizing Tony, and even criticised the other viewers for their own comments. You even made a point to time stamp example examples - since you have so much time on your hands, I'm assuming you don't do rescues on your own. That means of that poor seal had to rely on you instead of Tony, had be dead now from starvation or infection.
THIS RESCUE TOOK MORE TIME , BUT OUR HERO WAS ALONE AND NEEDED TO CARE OF SAFETY AND CUTINGS !! One more great job , congratulations to this super man !!!!
I’ve just watched this again! Is there anyone else that was holding their breath and didn’t realise? Glad there were Ad’s!!! Brilliant rescue Tony. Melted my heart, when the pup held onto you. This is one rescue that needs to be highlighted to show the absolute misery that the Gill nets cause!
You should feel proud of yourself Antoine, the rescue was successful and that's all that matters! The fact it was so difficult makes it even more impressive that you succeeded. 👏👏💜
Not sure why you call this video cringe-worthy. Love the compassion you guys have and the hard work you put in trying your best helping these innocent creatures. The world needs more people like you
Poor baby with his torn mouth must have struggled to eat. The cuts on his neck were deep and painful for him as well. It was a tough solo rescue, but his life was undoubtedly saved. Well done!
Oh, Tony... you did a *fantastic* job with a rather difficult patient. Your determination has given this seal a chance at life, which he didn't have before. By the time he reached the waves, he'd already forgotten the few moments of stress. Thank you for an amazing rescue!
@Ирина Амлински you've been watching these for 2 years, but yet at the end you say that this is the first time you've seen something like this. The scissors weren't working, so we had to use the hook. You're the only one in these comments thought he did a bad job. Because of Tony, the seal has a cut on his mouth but will be just fine. Go spread your Sunshine somewhere else.
@Ирина Амлински If the rescue process were as easy as you say, then everyone would do it and the world would be all rainbows and lollipops... ... but on the beach, in real time, the 'surgeon' has to make snap decisions to (a) save the seal and (b) not cause it too much stress. This seal is alive now, thanks to Tony, and the blood was soon washed away by the sea. Personally, I've had that much blood from a knife cut in the kitchen and I managed to survive. The fact that your judgmental comment is the only negative one should tell you something.
@Ирина Амлински When the seal is in the net he finds the line and removes it. He even says it was ripped out of the wound during the netting, so it is loose and he can remove it quickly. Removing an object from a wound usually causes blood flow, because the body is desperate to heal even with the object inside. That does not mean you shouldn't get it out in these cases. I see your ironic comment on people 'not watching the release process', while you yourself missed an important part, while furiously writing a negative comment.
I never once thought about how strong a seal's front flippers must be, but to almost cut off your circulation...wow. He doesn't understand what is happening to him...the entanglement and the horrible pain...and is just hanging on for dear life.😥😍
Oh, Tony, you should be immensely proud of yourself! You were on your own AND working without the net ... that pup was a fighter AND incredibly strong ... the scissors were rusty and hard to open AND there were SO many lines from that disgusting gill net!! You had so many variables going against you, but you did NOT let ANY of those stop you from removing the HORRIBLE entanglement!! YOU are an integral member of an AMAZING team, and, as always with OCN rescues, the pup has a 2nd chance of a long life! Thank you for doing what you do SO well!
Tony, I just can't believe how you did that all on your own with those annoying scissors!! Bet that pup won't forget you in a hurry. I know I won't. What an awesome person you are. Bless you Tony and thank you.x
No one else was going to help that sweet pup, but you stepped up to the plate and did despite the great difficulty of working solo. Amazing job. Thank you so much 💗
Thanks to you Antoine another seal is free to live and play in the water and with its friends. You do a wonderful job releasing the seals whether you are alone or with help. I enjoy listening to you talking to the seals. You are always so kind and caring with them. Keep up the great work.
Tony, it's not just how you talk to the puppies to calm & reassure them while you save their lives but your natural character that shows so much compassion on rescues but companies like Disney & Pixar are missing a trick; you'd be an AMAZING voice for any animated character!!! ❤️🙏
You have saved so many on you're solo trips, don't feel bad because one didn't go smoothly! You still saved his life! Like I've said before, you are an amazing man! Don't ever stop! Love from Las Vegas ❤!
This is an extraordinary rescue. Antoine, it’s a combination of your skill, patience & compassion that you freed that little guy from torture all by yourself. He’s lucky you found him & now he can get on with his healing & his life.
Antoine, you never cease to amaze me with your absolute brilliance, love of puppies and dedication. Effing gill net is disgusting, I cannot believe anyone uses it. Thank you for being a hero to all the puppies and humans who appreciate you for what you do. Stay special.
Thank you guys for the love and skill you show these animals! Tony, I love how you talk to them, a friend, someone they can trust. This rescue was truly epic… an example of strength, courage, and compassion. You were alone and handled it beautifully! Thanks for filming and sharing! Here I am in a landlocked state in USA and you bring me a part of the world I love! Thanks again! Of course I’ll support your efforts!
You are rescues are filled with love and concern for these beautiful creatures!! This one may have taken longer, but in the end, as always. It was TRULY worth it!! GOD BLESS you for never giving up! ❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰
Antoine, you did a great job! As a new monthly donor, it gives me great pleasure to see these rescues, even if the seal has no idea you are trying to help! You guys are amazing.
When you use the strong language it only shows you care in my opinion. You handled that brilliantly. Thank you for all you do for these precious babies.
That was excellent and the pup knew that you loved and cared for it as you talked and comforted its little soul. And it learned 2 languages, love and some English. 😊💕🙏🏼
I ask you...have you ever ONCE removed any debris off the seals that was NOT created my man ?? Ever ?? You all do a wonderful job and I tip my hat to you.
@@OceanConservationNamibia Is your organization against commercial fishing, because it usually is a big part of a country's economy, especially those on the coast or those that are an island, or fishing in general? (China, Indonesia, India, Vietnam, US, Russia and Japan are the top fishing countries. South Africa is about #35, and Namibia is about #40.)
@@fart63 The US EPA has strict laws on the books regarding the environment. Whether they are enforced around the entire coastline, and coastal waters consistently is something else. So much of enforcement here is politically motivated, however. What is seen in international waters, and in other countries regarding the environment is sad. Many countries have corrupt governments, and no EPA equivalents, and anything goes, unfortunately. 😔
Bless you, Tony, that was a tough one. Poor pup was really suffering, probably couldn't eat? Thank you so much for sticking with him, now the healing salt water can do its job, bravo!
Antoine l love how you talked to the pup seal. The pup seemed to understand at certain times that you were trying to help. I was just as frustrated like you. Antoine you did an awesome job by yourself. I applaud you. Love the work you do. ❤❤😊😊
That was heartbreaking but incredibly awesome and, I don't say this lightly, inspiring. Tony kept going when things were messy and hard and nearly impossible, and this fierce little seal is so much better off for it. Give that man a hug, sharp tools, and his drink of choice b/c that was really something
I love the way Tony speaks to the pups. He is so gentle and caring. It was a difficult rescue on his own but he absolutely did his best. And it was a fiesty pup.
I really enjoy the way Tony speaks to each seal as though they were his kids or his friends. Awesome to listen to.
you can here in his voice how much he loves these lovely animals.
Same here!! It’s my favourite part

Exactly how I felt about this rescue!
To never give up. That seal pup's not having to deal with it one more minute.
Toni, don't forget to get a new Leatherman. If you don't want to give it up, sharpen it, oil it, whatever you have to do.
You did the best you could given the problems you faced. In the end you removed the line and the baby seal is free. The end result is wonderful and that is more important than how you got there. If life was perfect the seal wouldn't have been entangled in the first place.

multitools manufacturers must donate the best equipment or they can ask OCN what kind of tools they need.... Come on Gerber, SOG, leatherman etc
Please be proud! You released him/her from suffering. Gill net in the mouth may prevent feeding. You are a true hero!
Bless you my dear friend! It was a real tough solo operation performed with utmost love and care for the poor puppy!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’ve just watched this again! Is there anyone else that was holding their breath and didn’t realise?
Glad there were Ad’s!!!
Brilliant rescue Tony.
Melted my heart, when the pup held onto you.
This is one rescue that needs to be highlighted to show the absolute misery that the Gill nets cause!
I love the way you talk to the seals, Antoine❤️ I’m sure they know what you all did for each of them.
You should feel proud of yourself Antoine, the rescue was successful and that's all that matters! The fact it was so difficult makes it even more impressive that you succeeded. 👏👏💜
"Do you want to know how I got these scars?" Aww bless, it looked horrible and so glad you managed to help him in the end. :)
That was an amazing rescue of the pup caught in the gillnet. It's probably saved his life. You should be very proud of yourself. thank you.
@@araelenecaletti1665 You’d be amazed at what salt water does for wounds and skin infection.
Not sure why you call this video cringe-worthy. Love the compassion you guys have and the hard work you put in trying your best helping these innocent creatures. The world needs more people like you
That must have been so painful. You should be proud of yourself, you saved his life!
Just the way you speak so gently is a gift you have
Poor baby with his torn mouth must have struggled to eat. The cuts on his neck were deep and painful for him as well. It was a tough solo rescue, but his life was undoubtedly saved. Well done!
Oh, Tony... you did a *fantastic* job with a rather difficult patient. Your determination has given this seal a chance at life, which he didn't have before. By the time he reached the waves, he'd already forgotten the few moments of stress. Thank you for an amazing rescue!
@Ирина Амлински you've been watching these for 2 years, but yet at the end you say that this is the first time you've seen something like this. The scissors weren't working, so we had to use the hook. You're the only one in these comments thought he did a bad job. Because of Tony, the seal has a cut on his mouth but will be just fine. Go spread your Sunshine somewhere else.
@Ирина Амлински If the rescue process were as easy as you say, then everyone would do it and the world would be all rainbows and lollipops...
... but on the beach, in real time, the 'surgeon' has to make snap decisions to (a) save the seal and (b) not cause it too much stress.
This seal is alive now, thanks to Tony, and the blood was soon washed away by the sea. Personally, I've had that much blood from a knife cut in the kitchen and I managed to survive.
The fact that your judgmental comment is the only negative one should tell you something.
@Ирина Амлински
When the seal is in the net he finds the line and removes it. He even says it was ripped out of the wound during the netting, so it is loose and he can remove it quickly. Removing an object from a wound usually causes blood flow, because the body is desperate to heal even with the object inside. That does not mean you shouldn't get it out in these cases.
I see your ironic comment on people 'not watching the release process', while you yourself missed an important part, while furiously writing a negative comment.
@Ирина Амлински maybe YOU could go there and help?
@@julicooke4266 You said it,lady!
The way he talks is so comforting.
I really love the way they talk to them, Antoine especially. You guys work so hard, thank you for all you do.
I never once thought about how strong a seal's front flippers must be, but to almost cut off your circulation...wow. He doesn't understand what is happening to him...the entanglement and the horrible pain...and is just hanging on for dear life.😥😍
Oh, Tony, you should be immensely proud of yourself! You were on your own AND working without the net ... that pup was a fighter AND incredibly strong ... the scissors were rusty and hard to open AND there were SO many lines from that disgusting gill net!! You had so many variables going against you, but you did NOT let ANY of those stop you from removing the HORRIBLE entanglement!! YOU are an integral member of an AMAZING team, and, as always with OCN rescues, the pup has a 2nd chance of a long life! Thank you for doing what you do SO well!
Once again the seal whisper does his magic.
So gentle and caring. Heartbreaking to see such damage from an illegal net. What a team!
Tony, I just can't believe how you did that all on your own with those annoying scissors!! Bet that pup won't forget you in a hurry. I know I won't. What an awesome person you are. Bless you Tony and thank you.x
You speak to them with so much compassion. Your love for these “puppies” is so heartwarming
I love listening to Tony sweet-talking the pups while saving their lives. Well done, great job under trying circumstances.
Bloody brilliant. Antoine should be incredibly proud of himself. Your team is inspirational.
I love the way you constantly spoke in a calming tone almost like a dad to a child. Well done x🏴🏴🏴
No one else was going to help that sweet pup, but you stepped up to the plate and did despite the great difficulty of working solo. Amazing job. Thank you so much 💗
Thanks to you Antoine another seal is free to live and play in the water and with its friends. You do a wonderful job releasing the seals whether you are alone or with help. I enjoy listening to you talking to the seals. You are always so kind and caring with them. Keep up the great work.
Oh, what a mess! Poor baby, poor Antoine! Thank you for not giving up.
Not cringe worthy but not something to eat breakfast to.
Yes - but, cringe in the sense of "makes you wince," I think.
You worked hard for that rescue - well done!
Tony, it's not just how you talk to the puppies to calm & reassure them while you save their lives but your natural character that shows so much compassion on rescues but companies like Disney & Pixar are missing a trick; you'd be an AMAZING voice for any animated character!!! ❤️🙏
It is so obvious how much Antoine loves and adores these lil ones. Good job Antoine
😢 Poor pup! Such dedicated heroism!
I love the way you calm these seals. This little one was truly listening as he hugged you. Fantastic rescue.
You have saved so many on you're solo trips, don't feel bad because one didn't go smoothly! You still saved his life! Like I've said before, you are an amazing man! Don't ever stop! Love from Las Vegas ❤!
You are a wonderful and kind human, thank you for helping the seal pup.The work you and your team do is amazing.
This is an extraordinary rescue. Antoine, it’s a combination of your skill, patience & compassion that you freed that little guy from torture all by yourself. He’s lucky you found him & now he can get on with his healing & his life.
Antoine, your commitment and patience was worth the while. It was a very complicated rescue and more since you were on your own. Thank you!
It will take as long as it take, and you need to do what you have to do. Awesome rescue as always
Antoine, you never cease to amaze me with your absolute brilliance, love of puppies and dedication.
Effing gill net is disgusting, I cannot believe anyone uses it.
Thank you for being a hero to all the puppies and humans who appreciate you for what you do.
Stay special.
That poor puppy! Thank God you found him. You are one of the good ones. Thank you!
You did as best as you could working alone, you rescued him/ her..👏🏻❤️
I like how he talks to the pups. You had a hard time removing the net but we can be proud of you for working until you got all of it out.
Thank you guys for the love and skill you show these animals! Tony, I love how you talk to them, a friend, someone they can trust. This rescue was truly epic… an example of strength, courage, and compassion. You were alone and handled it beautifully! Thanks for filming and sharing! Here I am in a landlocked state in USA and you bring me a part of the world I love! Thanks again! Of course I’ll support your efforts!
You are rescues are filled with love and concern for these beautiful creatures!!
This one may have taken longer, but in the end, as always. It was TRULY worth it!!
GOD BLESS you for never giving up! ❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰
He did well despite being alone.
Tony you are so sweet and awesome with those beautiful little seals.
You did a splendid job! Thank you for your kindness and respect towards this cute baby seal! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for talking to him,you deserve a medal
I love how he talks to the pup like a child. What a guy, what a hero! ❤
Antoine, you did a great job! As a new monthly donor, it gives me great pleasure to see these rescues, even if the seal has no idea you are trying to help! You guys are amazing.
thank you Pointer Mom we love you !!
Well-done tony great job thanks from bonnie. Scotland
You have every reason to be proud of that rescue, Antoine! That was some excellent solo work.
A difficult rescue, and alone! But, you did it perfectly! One more little puppy who will recover soon. Great job, Antoine.
When you use the strong language it only shows you care in my opinion. You handled that brilliantly. Thank you for all you do for these precious babies.
That was excellent and the pup knew that you loved and cared for it as you talked and comforted its little soul.
And it learned 2 languages, love and some English.
😊💕🙏🏼
I ask you...have you ever ONCE removed any debris off the seals that was NOT created my man ?? Ever ?? You all do a wonderful job and I tip my hat to you.
Yes we have spikes from sharks. Thank you very much 🙏

Is your organization against commercial fishing, because it usually is a big part of a country's economy, especially those on the coast or those that are an island, or fishing in general?
(China, Indonesia, India, Vietnam, US, Russia and Japan are the top fishing countries. South Africa is about #35, and Namibia is about #40.)
@@johnusa3150you don’t have to be against commercial fishing to be against illegal dumping and dangerous equipment
@@fart63
The US EPA has strict laws on the books regarding the environment. Whether they are enforced around the entire coastline, and coastal waters consistently is something else. So much of enforcement here is politically motivated, however.
What is seen in international waters, and in other countries regarding the environment is sad. Many countries have corrupt governments, and no EPA equivalents, and anything goes, unfortunately.
😔
Bless you, Tony, that was a tough one. Poor pup was really suffering, probably couldn't eat? Thank you so much for sticking with him, now the healing salt water can do its job, bravo!
I just love listening to your voice Antoine. It is so soothing and caring. The ocean world is so lucky to have you.
Antoine l love how you talked to the pup seal. The pup seemed to understand at certain times that you were trying to help. I was just as frustrated like you. Antoine you did an awesome job by yourself. I applaud you. Love the work you do. ❤❤😊😊
Bedankt
That was heartbreaking but incredibly awesome and, I don't say this lightly, inspiring. Tony kept going when things were messy and hard and nearly impossible, and this fierce little seal is so much better off for it. Give that man a hug, sharp tools, and his drink of choice b/c that was really something
Бедные животные очень жалко смотреть на ихние страдания. Спасибо Вам за спасение. Мир Вам и Вашему дому.
Wow, the net is crazy…
I’m glad to see that the baby seal is free finally~
Thank you for saving the seal~👍
Tony, you are a hero for all the good you do for those precious seals❤️
Toni You are absolutely Amazing ❤ Love the way you talk to the seals. No matter if they are big or small ❤❤
Antoine has the best conversations with those animals he's trying to help :o)
I love the way Tony speaks to the pups. He is so gentle and caring. It was a difficult rescue on his own but he absolutely did his best. And it was a fiesty pup.
