This Rescue Almost Cost Us a Bite!

Jason nearly got a little "love bite" from this seal during the release, but luckily his quick reflexes kept everyone safe! Seals do not naturally attack humans; they peacefully coexist with us if we leave them alone. Unfortunately, our plastic waste has found its way into every corner of the ocean, forcing us to interfere wherever we can to save them from an inevitable, painful end. Snapping at a rescuer is a perfectly natural reaction to a perceived threat. She isn't attacking out of malice; she is defending herself. She is completely unaware that the real threat isn't the human trying to help, but the tiny piece of rubbish wrapped tightly around her neck - and the millions of other pieces looming out there in the ocean. 🦭 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Please visit our website to find out more about our work and how to support us: ➡ Website: https://www.ocnamibia.org/ ➡ Donate via Paypal: https://ow.ly/BTm550PIavq ➡ Donate via Stripe: https://ow.ly/Xy1F50PIMzQ ➡ Support via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OCN ➡ FAQs: https://www.ocnamibia.org/faqs Follow us on social media: ➡ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oceanconservationnamibia/ ➡ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OCNamibia ➡ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@oc_namibia ➡ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ocnamibia/ ➡ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ocnamibia 😊 Thank you for every like, share, comment and subscribe 😊 Ocean Conservation International is registered as a non-profit organisation under chapter 501(c)3.
