Скачать или смотреть Fishing Hook Rescue – Seal Saved from Painful Mouth Injury

Imagine living with a sharp hook lodged in your mouth, the fishing line trailing behind you, tugging with every movement. This young seal was doing exactly that. The wound was already infected, each swim and dive a fresh surge of pain. Unlike loop entanglements, hooks don’t always kill outright, but they can slowly starve an animal, weaken its immune system, and alter its behaviour until survival becomes impossible.When we spotted this hooked seal on the beach, we knew we had to act fast. A quick, careful capture and within a few seconds, the hook was gone, and so was the pain.This should never happen. If anglers faced real accountability for lost gear, they would take more care to prevent it. Until then, seals and other marine animals will keep paying the price for our negligence.
