Fishermen Rescue Seal With Plastic Wrapped Around It's Neck

ID: 3328799

A bunch of good Samaritan fishermen jumped on to a seal as it was wading into waves to cut a plastic noose wrapped around its neck.

Naude Dreyer was out with crew from a passing ship on Pelican Point, Namibia, on September 28, when they spotted one of the animals was in trouble.

Acting fast, the group frantically ran after the marine mammals as they looked to wade into the South Atlantic Ocean, and Roman Wipfli managed to jump on to their target.

Restraining it as a group, they used pliers to cut through the plastic fishing line which was tight around its throat and let it swim away.
