Angry Seal Caught in Ziploc Bag

Ziploc bags are often considered environmentally friendly because they are reusable and recyclable. But this eco-friendly image depends on how Ziploc bags are used and disposed of! In this case, the zip part of a bag ended up in the ocean, around a seal's neck, strong enough to eventually injure, starve, or choke the animal to death. The missing part of the bag might still be drifting in the ocean, where it eventually breaks down and turns into microplastics. If plastic bags are used as single-use items and not recycled properly, they will have a negative impact on the environment and wildlife.

Well done, Naude! Teaching the next generation to rescue seals. How great is that?! Now more seals can be saved. That makes me so happy!❤❤

You can see Dylan's confidence grow in these videos👍

Nice to see them so laid back enjoying their day, puppy had plenty of spirit trying to escape from Dylan, now she can go back to her sleep free from the rubbish. Thankyou OCN .🤗💝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Another day, another entanglement, another save. Thank you for being there for them. Cheers to OCN!

[daniellamcgee]

Yes! Always wonderful to watch father and son teamwork! Superb slide and net by Dylan, too!

[redtwin]

I love that you guys are teaching younger rescuers to keep the mission going for decades to come. Sadly, it will probably be needed.

[TacoSallust]

That whole colony was angry instead of scared. "We're just trying to relax!" Good work Dylan and Naude!

[lmmhanlon]

I love watching Naude with his son by his side. He is growing up to have love and respect for animals. Great job everyone! Sending thanks and love from Canada

[RL-RL]

Great save guys! That big Bull looked like he was going to be a problem defending his flock. Hopefully the bystanders on the walkway can learn, and spread the word about this situation with rubbish harming these beautiful Seals!

Thank you team OCN for all you do to ensure the health and survival of the fur seals ❤❤

[TrondBørgeKrokli]

Wow! Dylan is getting really good with the job. Well done, father and son.

I love seeing the seals napping on the beach. They're so lovely. ❤
Thank you for rescuing that little fellow from plastic refuse, OCN.

Father and son,
Memories being made.
Some day you will reminisce
With pride on a job and life well served.

[mojidoza]

I like to see them didn't run away from afraid you guys.

[carlavanherrewaarden]

😮Jumping off the boardwalk was a challenge, because of those feisty seals down there. Great teamwork by dad & son, thanks Naude and Dylan!🙏💕🦭

[nicklager]

They are so used to tourists at cape cross you could almost walk up to them to pet them. Not that i would recommend it. Their teeth are a force to be reckoned with. Well done to the Dreyers!

Hello everyone!
Dylan is already doing everything professionally. And he even catches angry seals without blinking an eye) Live long and continue to growl at everyone, handsome guy who was saved.
Thanks, team!
