I think animals know that humans really are supposed to help them but they know that humans have betrayed them and thus they are surprised to find humans doing what they should be doing.

@@jyjjyc Some animals do, some don't, it's a coin flip really unless the animal deliberately seeks help from a person (some recorded cases of Dolphins, Turtles, etc., and I think a Humpback at one point deliberately seeking help), personally though I don't think it matters if the animal realizes it was helped or not so long as it gets the help it needs.

@@FranzFartinand its true name is cape elephant fish - st joseph shark is a local name. Edit - im finding some reference to its barb having a mild toxin and others where they dismiss this as false and an old wives tale.
@noobenstein Meh. It’s not bad to be for animal conservation at all. It’s a broad brush though to lump in good people with bad people. No need to be anti-human.
@@gordonlin6120 When did all resources belong to humans? He's very right. Yes, a lot of legal fisheries ensure conservation is met, hence why many fish, even Tuna, are farmed instead. But there are many illegal fishing ships that damage the ecosystem. The whole point of balance is give and take. We have enough agriculture to feed the populace, yet people still go out fishing illegally. Food isn't the issue, though. Money is.
Sometimes fishermen can't do so. Lines can be cut by all sorts of shit on the sea floor, and they wouldn't know until they started reeling in on some occasions. Other times it gets snagged on debris and snapped off, the line going away before they have a chance to react.
As someone who fishes this ain’t always the case , unless I catch the fish if my line snaps , or it gets tangled around the fish I can’t reel it in and cut the line off, at an old lake of mine that I used to fish at there is a alligator snapping turtle with 4 hooks in its mouth , a couple tangled lines , and about a loaf of bread in its belly. (I though he was cool so every time I interact with it I give him some bread
The first pup with st Joseph’s shark attached definitely knew they were helping her! Although she was in pain and afraid… she knew!! I love watching these guys work❤
Did they remove the spike or just cut it off? It looked to me lie they left a piece of the spike embedded in the seal's neck. Also, they didn't clean and disinfect the wounds on any of the seals.
@veryslyfox the seals have a better chance of surviving an encounter if they don't have foreign objects sticking out of them or limiting their movement
Ahh yes, those pesky humans saving sharks are the problem... Not the mass of fishing ships scooping up tonnes of fish at a time and being resourceful... nah those horrible humans saving seals from human waste. What an idiot. @@interestedparty00
What you're saying makes sense in concept, but that's not the reality of it. If anything, accidental human intervention with all the pollution in our waters cuts seal numbers down. A perfect example is in this video with the fishing line. That seal wouldn't have been in danger in the first place if it didn't get that fishing line wrapped around it. Humans saving seals isn't causing the lack of food for them. It's both natural causes and human's polluting and destroying their feeding grounds. @@interestedparty00

I might have flinched at first but trust me when u got that stupid shark out of my neck I stood there to say Thank u for helping me :) I appreciate u and ur great work! 🥰
I know this video is 2 years old but it made my heart smile to see you guy's help these two seals. I love all animals always have. When I was a child I wanted to be veterinarian to treat pets but mainly wildlife I was obsessed with seal's, dolphins sharks, wales and all other animals in ocean and on land, no I'm not veterinarian but my love for animals is still as strong today and with so many cruel things happening in our world it's uplifting heartwarming to see the good things people are doing. Thank you for doing what you do, any animal who is hurt in need is lucky when a animal hero like yourselves come there way even if they don't understand it at first.
I wish more people would watch these videos so they can be conscience about leaving fishing lines and nets on beaches and in water. Thank you guys for helping these sweet creatures. ♥️
I might be wrong but I think it’s a money/convenience thing, it’s easier and cheaper to cut and dump them than it is to recover and repair them, so they just cut them, it’s very common worldwide and it’s a major source of plastic in the ocean… not to mention tangling up everything
Most fishermen try to recover their tackle and only cut / break the line as a last resort. We pay good money for weights, swivels, hooks, and other tackle and don’t like losing it. Sometimes you can catch a fish and it will tangle you up in something on the bottom. You can’t get it free and end up breaking the line. If the fish is still on the other end this is sometimes how the seal ends up getting tangled. It goes after the fish. Not only did we lose money in our gear, but we lost our dinner too. Every time someone sees an animal in distress like this they automatically think and blame the fishermen. It’s rarely the fishermen’s fault. I’m not saying that there aren’t cases where some idiot tosses line in the water. But most of the time it can’t be helped.
animals have all the same emotions that we have and i think all the evidence that they do is piling up especially with the internet spreading these moments. we need to stop killing them unless forced to for self defence like yesterday
It's just amazing how the young seal changed behavior after you took the shark barb out of it's neck. It realized you helped him and instantly ceased to be aggressive! That's amazing! //edit: What have I started? Guys, this wasn't even an all too serious comment. It seems I've involuntarily started a crusade.
He was obviously confused trying to figure out if he was in danger. I don't know if they are fully aware that they are being helped once the objects are removed. They must feel a relief afterwards and do they associate this relief with the benevolence of the human intervention ?
What you’re doing guys is truly awe-inspiring. Not only are you caring for the Oceans’ inhabitants, you are raising valuable awareness of such issues, and taking great personal risks in doing so. Sending much respect and admiration to you all.
Young animals usually have to be taught for a while to be scared of humans. You can see how deeply ingrained it is into the bigger, older seal. The first one probably didn't see humans as as big of a threat, and when they made the pain stop, that totally fucked its perception of reality. I can't even imagine what was going through its brain after that, but going off its body language, it didn't seem scared.
@Vim Fuego some are bred for those specific purpose, but does not justify their treatments. These seals are wild and being affected by either human or other environmental factors, they'll run out faster than pigs, chicken and cow. These people does not only care, but are taking action.
I agree with the second part, but not with the first part, since a seal getting bitten by a shark isn’t really one of the mistakes of our race. However, this would of been accurate if this comment was on another one of the videos on this channel, since most of them were mistakes of our race.
Now I hope that you are vegan. Because if you aren't then I have to ask how come the pain and suffering of these individuals matter but the sentient beings which you support the murdering and exploiting of, doesn't. How come these humans are great human beings for saving and sparing these innocent animals from pain but you wouldnt be considered a bad human being for CAUSING pain & death in other innocent beings alike these? (if you are vegan already then please ignore this haha)
Imagine being the seals who are always chilling at this beach and seeing the same humans constantly chasing them around like a game. But seriously yall are awesome
I like how the seal with the shark in its neck didn’t immediately leave after you helped it. I’m guessing it took a liking to you for relieving it’s pain.
First the seal did not know he is being helped Second: That seal is probably in reduced mobility because of the poisoned barb on that shark. He didn't leave right away because of those two things rather than your own interpretation of things.
while what these folks are doing is great, it is harmful to anthropomorphize animals this way. the seal can't run, so it's standing its ground to defend itself. you can tell from the way it's posturing and showing its teeth.
@@mataschmata Second one was showing teeth, but first one wasn't. It wasn't even tense, more like confused and a bit wary, but not angry or afraid. We are animals ourselves, pretty much same feelings are shared in all pack animals. OTOH you can't always tell what animal is thinking by it's behavior, a yawn by a monkey is not sign of it being tired, it is showing it's teeth.
I think the deal might've been in pain all along. The barb wire might have been constantly irritating the seal too.But at least now the wound will heal. It was a necessary evil I guess.
most larger marine life secrete mucus on contact with sea water to coat injuries, keep sea water out, and promote clotting. the seal probably barely felt it for more than a few seconds
I can’t imagine how much it must sting for the seals to run into the salt water with open wounds. This is just so difficult to watch, even tho you guys are life savers. Thank you for the miracles you make happen.
It does sting but at least the main factor that is causing the cut is gone so now it can properly heal. Salt water is a disinfectant so it will heal fast. I had a cut once, didnt know about it, ran into the sea, stung like hell but healed in a day or two. Amazing stuff.
The first seal didn’t run off. It’s like she stayed, facing them, as if to say “thank you!” That was sooo precious to watch. You guys do amazing work!❤️
I think they stay facing to fight if necessary. They are still unsure if they will be harmed. Once it seems safe, like their read is that they are being let go, then they seem to run off.
There are no words to express thank you🌈🙏❤️ I wish there was a vet on hand to take care of the really damaged area. Or at least a antibiotic spray. God bless you all for your love amd kindness 🥰
We have been advised by leading pinniped specialists that, unless we are able to keep the animal in a sanctuary for rehabilitation, we should avoid applying medicines on their wounds. The Cape fur seal goes straight to the water as soon as we release them, washing off any topical cream. Water resistant sprays may lock in bacteria and aggravate their injuries. We do not want to introduce drugs in a population of wild animals. We see healthy recaptures every single day, proof that sea water acts as a very efficient wound cleaner and healer, and that Cape fur seals are extremely resilient animals.
As a beginner at completing my practicum as a vet tech, I found this fascinating about the care people take for wild animals while monitoring a herd ( forgive the terminology). I admire the compassion taking on them to restrain the animal and control them in the most humane way, to assess and assist, if possible. I have dealt with dogs that were wicked and could take up to 3 people to restrain it, always with care, but they were dogs; meaning limited muscular response... predictable, and able to manage the most difficult animal. This is because we understand them and they have become completely domesticated. These seals are huge animals, with notable power, to move their weigh on land, and in sea. I am just saying, that what I viewed just now, was as completely contained and restrained capture for treatment. This did this in such a way to minimize stress to the patient.
@@simrdownmon6431 many wild packs of animals are monitored researched and helped in a similar way to these guy's with their seals. It's one of the best ways to get knowledge on what could be affecting other populous such as shared sicknesses or changes in diet. It can be hard to watch a scared animal be treated but it really is the best way to help them
Stuff like this really makes one question the sociological aspects of humanity, I see stuff like this quite often and it's amazing how humans can communicate and emotionally connect with animals while simultaneously being unable to achieve the same thing with other humans, just running along the beach and grabbing random seals to pull barbs out of them and not a single misunderstanding when you let them go, they all just waddle off okay with the whole encounter. I think ultimately it comes from the human tendency not to view other humans as animals and it overcomplicates interactions.
I hate to be that guy, but I would recommend trying to avoid unnecessary commas. This post was a little awkward to read. Don't take it personal though! I really liked what you had to say!

Wayne, your comment didn't get completely lost; I saw it. I, too, thank them. My wife and I do a lot of animal rescue; we have about 50 strays now that we take care of. I hope there is a God who sees it all, but I just don't know. My biggest question in my search for a higher being is why he would allow all the suffering that has gone on for millions of years - horrible suffering and misery. I hope there is an answer, but, if there is, it has eluded me for decades.
@@Kaitri Not really sure I know what you mean. So, are you saying that the fact that there is so much suffering means there is no god, or at least there's not one who cares?
We say it all revolves around resources, people, and education whether it be science or experience, but who puts these people in the right place and the right time? Take for example the person who had an accident a few years back near mountainous/cliff areas and was lying there for 3 days without any treatment or help before someone found him, what kept him alive? Now another person has a similar accident or an even less serious one and he makes it to the hospital within minutes but does not survive, so is it our intellect and resources ultimately?
Yeah.. depression is weird. It just means you are less apathetic, delusional or sociopathic than the rest and in this world that's a "problem" I think we need sanity but at this point that'd be a hard transition to say the least.
@@CJM-rg5rt a study from perhaps the sixties stated that of all forms of "mental illness' depression (considered the common cold of mental illness and experienced by about one in seven of the population at any given time) is experienced by those having the clearest and most realistic view of the world. More realistic even than those who were most "normal".
@@patshelby9285 I totally believe the results of that study. Thinking and feeling is a bad mix unless you ignore or "reimagine" some things. Basically everyone is delusional, it's a smart choice to pick ignorance. Even the world's smartest people are like this, a Uni Bomber is one in a million (I certainly don't condone) I wouldn't care if I didn't imagine a better world, the problems seem so evident and fixable but people bicker over politics, religion and whatever else but it's all absolutely meaningless. People plainly suck but they can't seem to swallow it and start improving because it's "just too heavy man" (probably)
studies aside, Im in Australia and I also feel very depressed. I hope you are ok. Just know that there is a stranger out there thinking of you and sending you love x
@@CJM-rg5rt eventually, the ones who feel too much, suddenly stop feeling, like a sort of defense mechanism I've been feeling too much since 9th grade in high school, I'm 30 now, I've learned of shit that I should have never seen, then again all the crap coming out now, the conspiracy theories turning true, isn't as impactful cause I already knew(the bigger issue is what is yet to come). the world is full of evil, but it's also full of good people(that keep getting silenced, sometimes permanently) trying to fight it, so it's the only thing that gives me some hope
These men are doing great work. Truly heartwarming. That said, unfortunate outcomes stem from every positive thing. Fishing is not just important it’s necessary.

@noobenstein there is about 8 billion ppl on the world, thats a lot of food to feed all those folks.

@noobenstein i truly cannot believe all the idiotic replies to your factual statement
@@gordonlin6120 When did all resources belong to humans? He's very right. Yes, a lot of legal fisheries ensure conservation is met, hence why many fish, even Tuna, are farmed instead. But there are many illegal fishing ships that damage the ecosystem. The whole point of balance is give and take. We have enough agriculture to feed the populace, yet people still go out fishing illegally. Food isn't the issue, though. Money is.
Who else is sick of seeing these animals with BS fishing line around them? Clean your crap up people.
Tell that to China.
@@EdgarStyles1234 right ?!
Sometimes fishermen can't do so. Lines can be cut by all sorts of shit on the sea floor, and they wouldn't know until they started reeling in on some occasions. Other times it gets snagged on debris and snapped off, the line going away before they have a chance to react.
@@EdgarStyles1234 not only china, to everyone
As someone who fishes this ain’t always the case , unless I catch the fish if my line snaps , or it gets tangled around the fish I can’t reel it in and cut the line off, at an old lake of mine that I used to fish at there is a alligator snapping turtle with 4 hooks in its mouth , a couple tangled lines , and about a loaf of bread in its belly. (I though he was cool so every time I interact with it I give him some bread

The scales of the two parts are completely different, this is not the reason. @@interestedparty00
What you're saying makes sense in concept, but that's not the reality of it. If anything, accidental human intervention with all the pollution in our waters cuts seal numbers down. A perfect example is in this video with the fishing line. That seal wouldn't have been in danger in the first place if it didn't get that fishing line wrapped around it. Humans saving seals isn't causing the lack of food for them. It's both natural causes and human's polluting and destroying their feeding grounds. @@interestedparty00

@@Antiteshmis They can obviously be categorised as most understanding to the least - Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Insects. Instinct just purely takes over instead of some memory or familiarity of friend or foe, down the order.
But then food for thought- in India, during parched summers we have seen huge king cobras coming to humans for water year after year. Maybe some memory better in certain reptiles than others

I wish more people would watch these videos so they can be conscience about leaving fishing lines and nets on beaches and in water. Thank you guys for helping these sweet creatures. ♥️
I might be wrong but I think it’s a money/convenience thing, it’s easier and cheaper to cut and dump them than it is to recover and repair them, so they just cut them, it’s very common worldwide and it’s a major source of plastic in the ocean… not to mention tangling up everything
So true
Most fishermen try to recover their tackle and only cut / break the line as a last resort. We pay good money for weights, swivels, hooks, and other tackle and don’t like losing it. Sometimes you can catch a fish and it will tangle you up in something on the bottom. You can’t get it free and end up breaking the line. If the fish is still on the other end this is sometimes how the seal ends up getting tangled. It goes after the fish. Not only did we lose money in our gear, but we lost our dinner too. Every time someone sees an animal in distress like this they automatically think and blame the fishermen. It’s rarely the fishermen’s fault. I’m not saying that there aren’t cases where some idiot tosses line in the water. But most of the time it can’t be helped.
I don’t know what the seals think but I do love it when they appear to realize you’ve helped them. Great job you all do!!
animals have all the same emotions that we have and i think all the evidence that they do is piling up especially with the internet spreading these moments. we need to stop killing them unless forced to for self defence like yesterday

He was obviously confused trying to figure out if he was in danger. I don't know if they are fully aware that they are being helped once the objects are removed. They must feel a relief afterwards and do they associate this relief with the benevolence of the human intervention ?
The first seal was like 'oh you could've at least told me that's all you wanted to do' 🦭

Awh, poor little guy with the shark in his neck looked back at them when they let him go like "thank you :0"
Young animals usually have to be taught for a while to be scared of humans. You can see how deeply ingrained it is into the bigger, older seal. The first one probably didn't see humans as as big of a threat, and when they made the pain stop, that totally fucked its perception of reality. I can't even imagine what was going through its brain after that, but going off its body language, it didn't seem scared.

I like how the seal with the shark in its neck didn’t immediately leave after you helped it. I’m guessing it took a liking to you for relieving it’s pain.
It looks really confused
That looked like it understood that they are not there to hurt it after the spike was removed. Looked a bit surprised, but not at all afraid or angry.
First the seal did not know he is being helped
Second: That seal is probably in reduced mobility because of the poisoned barb on that shark.
He didn't leave right away because of those two things rather than your own interpretation of things.
while what these folks are doing is great, it is harmful to anthropomorphize animals this way. the seal can't run, so it's standing its ground to defend itself. you can tell from the way it's posturing and showing its teeth.
@@mataschmata Second one was showing teeth, but first one wasn't. It wasn't even tense, more like confused and a bit wary, but not angry or afraid. We are animals ourselves, pretty much same feelings are shared in all pack animals.

Salt water is good cuts tho
yea, hopefully they heal up. they were getting salt water either way, those were open wounds to start
J kitty.. yes it will sting, but salt water is healing.
It does sting but at least the main factor that is causing the cut is gone so now it can properly heal. Salt water is a disinfectant so it will heal fast. I had a cut once, didnt know about it, ran into the sea, stung like hell but healed in a day or two. Amazing stuff.
The first seal didn’t run off. It’s like she stayed, facing them, as if to say “thank you!” That was sooo precious to watch. You guys do amazing work!❤️
❤ I know! 🥹
nah
No was a freeze response
I think they stay facing to fight if necessary. They are still unsure if they will be harmed. Once it seems safe, like their read is that they are being let go, then they seem to run off.
No. They are animals, not humans.
There are no words to express thank you🌈🙏❤️ I wish there was a vet on hand to take care of the really damaged area. Or at least a antibiotic spray. God bless you all for your love amd kindness 🥰
We have been advised by leading pinniped specialists that, unless we are able to keep the animal in a sanctuary for rehabilitation, we should avoid applying medicines on their wounds. The Cape fur seal goes straight to the water as soon as we release them, washing off any topical cream. Water resistant sprays may lock in bacteria and aggravate their injuries.
We do not want to introduce drugs in a population of wild animals. We see healthy recaptures every single day, proof that sea water acts as a very efficient wound cleaner and healer, and that Cape fur seals are extremely resilient animals.
Thanks to the both of you for the question and the answer...
“Oh no....Shirley’s been caught” you imagine her friends thinking this. Thank goodness you guys are doing this wonderful work. 🌹
You can actually see a couple of them in the background sitting at the edge of the water watching
As a beginner at completing my practicum as a vet tech, I found this fascinating about the care people take for wild animals while monitoring a herd ( forgive the terminology). I admire the compassion taking on them to restrain the animal and control them in the most humane way, to assess and assist, if possible. I have dealt with dogs that were wicked and could take up to 3 people to restrain it, always with care, but they were dogs; meaning limited muscular response... predictable, and able to manage the most difficult animal. This is because we understand them and they have become completely domesticated. These seals are huge animals, with notable power, to move their weigh on land, and in sea. I am just saying, that what I viewed just now, was as completely contained and restrained capture for treatment. This did this in such a way to minimize stress to the patient.
Wow beautiful! Thank you so very much for this 🙏
@@simrdownmon6431 many wild packs of animals are monitored researched and helped in a similar way to these guy's with their seals. It's one of the best ways to get knowledge on what could be affecting other populous such as shared sicknesses or changes in diet. It can be hard to watch a scared animal be treated but it really is the best way to help them
Stuff like this really makes one question the sociological aspects of humanity, I see stuff like this quite often and it's amazing how humans can communicate and emotionally connect with animals while simultaneously being unable to achieve the same thing with other humans, just running along the beach and grabbing random seals to pull barbs out of them and not a single misunderstanding when you let them go, they all just waddle off okay with the whole encounter.
I think ultimately it comes from the human tendency not to view other humans as animals and it overcomplicates interactions.
I hate to be that guy, but I would recommend trying to avoid unnecessary commas. This post was a little awkward to read.

Wayne, your comment didn't get completely lost; I saw it. I, too, thank them. My wife and I do a lot of animal rescue; we have about 50 strays now that we take care of. I hope there is a God who sees it all, but I just don't know. My biggest question in my search for a higher being is why he would allow all the suffering that has gone on for millions of years - horrible suffering and misery. I hope there is an answer, but, if there is, it has eluded me for decades.
@@billsmith7673 if god saw it he wouldnt create a world full of suffering my friend
@@Kaitri Not really sure I know what you mean. So, are you saying that the fact that there is so much suffering means there is no god, or at least there's not one who cares?
We say it all revolves around resources, people, and education whether it be science or experience, but who puts these people in the right place and the right time? Take for example the person who had an accident a few years back near mountainous/cliff areas and was lying there for 3 days without any treatment or help before someone found him, what kept him alive? Now another person has a similar accident or an even less serious one and he makes it to the hospital within minutes but does not survive, so is it our intellect and resources ultimately?
Just food for thought guys, I just wanted to share it with you all, thanks
Please let those ads play People. This generates funds for OCN, which helps to save more seals. Thank you!!!
Go OCN!!
And it costs the viewers nothing;.
@@PeterXHinoul sanity. It costs sanity, sometimes.
@@lyndacarter5090 Hi Lynda. There is no eyeball monitor. Let them play, but no one is forcing you to watch them 😁
I'm not sure I understand: just playing the add generates revenue? How does that work unless you buy a product they're advertising?
Disappointed I'm not seeing any ads if it means no revenue to the OCN guys
I get so depressed about the world, but to come across what you are doing here is so beautiful and inspiring. Thank you.
Yeah.. depression is weird. It just means you are less apathetic, delusional or sociopathic than the rest and in this world that's a "problem" I think we need sanity but at this point that'd be a hard transition to say the least.
@@CJM-rg5rt a study from perhaps the sixties stated that of all forms of "mental illness' depression (considered the common cold of mental illness and experienced by about one in seven of the population at any given time) is experienced by those having the clearest and most realistic view of the world.
More realistic even than those who were most "normal".
@@patshelby9285 I totally believe the results of that study. Thinking and feeling is a bad mix unless you ignore or "reimagine" some things. Basically everyone is delusional, it's a smart choice to pick ignorance. Even the world's smartest people are like this, a Uni Bomber is one in a million (I certainly don't condone) I wouldn't care if I didn't imagine a better world, the problems seem so evident and fixable but people bicker over politics, religion and whatever else but it's all absolutely meaningless. People plainly suck but they can't seem to swallow it and start improving because it's "just too heavy man" (probably)
studies aside, Im in Australia and I also feel very depressed. I hope you are ok. Just know that there is a stranger out there thinking of you and sending you love x
@@CJM-rg5rt eventually, the ones who feel too much, suddenly stop feeling, like a sort of defense mechanism
I've been feeling too much since 9th grade in high school, I'm 30 now, I've learned of shit that I should have never seen, then again all the crap coming out now, the conspiracy theories turning true, isn't as impactful cause I already knew(the bigger issue is what is yet to come).
the world is full of evil, but it's also full of good people(that keep getting silenced, sometimes permanently) trying to fight it, so it's the only thing that gives me some hope
These men are doing great work. Truly heartwarming.
That said, unfortunate outcomes stem from every positive thing. Fishing is not just important it’s necessary. We can improve processes but we cannot eliminate environmental impacts of any necessary human activity. What we have to do is strive for improvement, not shutdowns. “There are no solutions, only tradeoffs.” - Thomas Sowell
Breaks my heart to see our sea dogs suffer so. Over fishing and trash is killing our seas and friends. Bless you for all you do
I really thought it was stingrays. The more you learn as they say. It makes me happy that it havent been to many dead pups in recent videos, and as always good job seal angels!
bjorn sjøstrom yup Chinese depleting it all around the world

A Big Big THANK YOU to You & Your Team for Doin What You Do I Know They can't yell You Thanks on They Own So I will Say it For Them Thank You All for what You do! Amen ❤❤❤
Wow guys, you're amazing. Denzil is seriously like a surgeon : one tool to take out the spike in one seal, and absolute precision with the scissors and hook to remove that grossly agitated fishing line around the neck of the other. Fantastic.
