This is Heartbreaking... 💔

It was absolute rescue madness at Pelican Point as the OCN team raced to keep up with one entangled seal after the next. But some injuries stand out more than others. This poor pup was severely wounded, basically partially skinned by a tight bundle of discarded fishing line cutting deep into its neck. Because there are no rehab facilities for seals in Namibia, we cannot take them in for long-term care. In cases like this, we have to rely on nature. Fortunately, seals are incredibly strong and resilient creatures. Aside from this horrific wound, this little guy is otherwise healthy and alert. With the healing power of the ocean's salt water and the tight plastic finally removed, he will likely make a full recovery. 🦭 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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.
