Even the Strongest Alpha Male Seal Can’t Fight Plastic Trash

The OCN Team found another gigantic alpha male seal caught in a tight loop of plastic packing strap. He has likely won countless territory fights in his life to become such a massive, dominant force on this beach. But against industrial plastic, his strength, experience, and natural defenses are completely useless. Once trapped inside a plastic loop, there is no escape. Instead, it slowly slips further down the neck, forcing the animal into starvation, suffocation, or a horrific, infected wound. All three paths lead to the exact same heartbreaking fate: the slow, painful, and entirely unwarranted death of a healthy animal. Can we really not come up with a better global solution for these packing straps that we spend every single day cutting from seals' necks? Is it truly impossible to prevent this tragedy at the source, or does the world simply not care enough to stop it? 🦭 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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.
