    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.

I would love to be part of your team but I know I would just slow you down! ☺️ Keep it up, continue to amaze and thrill us all saving these poor seals - victims of human negligence, cruelty and pure laziness. All they had to do is throw the discarded nets, fishing line, etc., into a garbage bag and put it into a garbage can back on land. Pathetic and saddening. Your team is a breath of fresh air and bright light, saving these amazing creatures. Thank you from the bottom, top and entirety of my heart!!!

    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.

      Sadly, for every few that care, there will be at least one that doesn't.
      Also, equipment breaks and nets and lines get lost. It's honestly such a shame, to stop a lot of the issues fishing would need to be banned completely.
      Understandably there are issues with that and the problem isn't going away any time soon. Best we can do is keep raising the awareness and encourage them to be more proactive recovering lost nets and so forth

Second puppy, she must have been terrified with so much net blinding her, strangling her, gagging her..hopefully now after a rest she'll be able to hunt and fill her tummy with fishes.. Tony's talk to her about Gill net being illegal and where did she get it..priceless..police officers couldn't have asked her better. May karma bite those still manufacturing and/or using that ruddy Gill net.. Keep safe guys, u r the best xx 💜🇬🇧💜

    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.
