      I see how gentle and compassionate these people work with these seals, and it only makes me think, that their wife/husbands and children must love them to death. 💕 Such a great way to make people acknowledge what is truly going on with our environment. By choosing to teach us by filming this. It takes a long to process this and put it on RUclips on top of them working hard all day. Thank you all for your hard works. 💕

    Thank you for all your kindness to these beautiful creatures.
    I live in New Zealand on the West Coast of the South Island.
    Our beaches are wild & we have seals & penguins too.
    I wouldn't have the strength or the training to do what your team does so well.
    Instead the beach is just around the corner from home, so I go around regularly & remove any plastics, fishing line & net bits off beach.
    My challenge to everyone watching is!........
    Make a difference pick up rubbish from any where, dont let it get into water ways .
    After all we all use plastics so are all responsible to what happens to our rubbish 😊 PLEASE HELP & YOU 2 CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 😇

    That lovely little lady certainly tried to cooperate as much as she could with that painful extraction of line around her. I’m sure that Tony’s calming voice and gentle hand on her back helped keep her so calm. I think Tony feels each entanglement as if it were around him personally Swim free little lady!🦭🌊💙

    I love that you talk to them and try to keep them calm. I can’t tell how much you care and it touches my heart!

    Wow good job handling that alone! And so cool to see them all watching curiously instead of retreating to the water like they usually do.

    The Seal Whisper charms another one. I do love listening to Antoine talk to them. They may not understand his words but they can feel his love and concern for them.
