This Seal Was Fighting for His Life in His Sleep

It’s a beautiful afternoon in Walvis Bay. The sun is setting, the air is calm, and Hawain is on patrol. He spots something ugly: a large male seal, resting peacefully, with a tight plastic packing strap around his neck.It’s the kind of plastic used to bind boxes and pallets, common in ports and shipping. But this one has turned into a noose. Left uncut and discarded, it was on track to end this seal’s life, slowly and painfully. But today, luck was on his side. The seal is deep asleep, unaware that he’s about to be freed from the fight of his life, in his sleep. Thank you, Hawain. The rescue may have been quiet, but its impact is loud.
