Entangled Sea Lion rescued
#1
A Sea Lion was spotted on the rocks off of Vancouver Island with a severe entanglement. The fish line was wrapped around the neck and mouth and the animal clearly could not eat. The animal was sedated and the line removed. It took longer than they expected, but they were able to do it. The Sea Lion was underweight so it must have been entangled for a while.

The Marine Mammal Rescue Society is amazing. They save so many animals from a terrible death. 
Sadly every year there are more animals that need to be rescued because there is so much garbage in the oceans to entangle them.
There are wonderful rescue groups, but it would be better if we cleaned up the oceans so animals didn't need rescuing.
