The videographer of the footage claims that the animals being trapped like this is, unfortunately, a regular occurrence, since various people leave their equipment floating in the sea posterior fishing.

However, what is surprising here is the people being able to go so close to the animal.

According to the videographer, they generally do not get to go so close to the entangled animals.

In the video, the kayakers can be seen freeing off the seal from the fishing line around his neck in the middle of the sea.

Matt, who personified the seal as a guy, stated that it kept coming to him and permitted him to hold it. He further added that on his 5th attempt, he was finally able to free the seal from the line.

Matt exclaims that the seal was all soaked but they eventually won in the end.

The seal’s trap is a result of our faults. If we do not stop being careless, animals will keep getting trapped in such ways that are the result of our deeds.

The seal had stuck in such a manner that it had no ways to escape. Had these heroes not found the animal, it would have died. Thankfully they rescued the seal and set it free.

Nonetheless, there are various animals of different species that are affected due to the waste generated by us and from the leftovers in the water bodies. There is nobody to save the lives of all of them.

Hence, it is essential for us to switch from the ones leading to their trap to the ones rescuing them like these kayakers.
