Seal pups entangled in fishing nets - Catherine - 09-22-2023
On a beach in South Africa, two baby seals were found tangled in the same fishing net. They were totally in a mess.
Beachgoers jumped into action. Using knives, they carefully cut the nets and freed the seals. As soon as they were free, they headed for the ocean.
They never looked back.

That was no easy rescue. The seals fought them and tried to bite as they were cutting the seals free.
It is a good thing being rescued is not dependent on cooperating with the rescuers.
