Seal Won't Leave His Rescuer! [View all]

Each rescue is different and the rescue team needs to be on high alert at all times to avoid injuries to themselves and the animal. Entangled seals are already compromised and feel threatened, and we can't blame them: we do hunt them down, pin them to the ground, and poke around in often painful and infected wounds. Some seals have a completely different reaction to the rescue, and in rare occasions like on this day, they seem calm and stay around, as if they wanted to hang out for a while.
Seals aren't pets and we never encourage unnecessary interaction, but we still enjoy human moments like this one very much.
