Entangled Seal Snaps at Rescuer
The young seal pup tries very hard to get a little taste of his rescuer Antoine. We don't blame him! The little loop of recreational fishing line around his neck is not only causing him immense pain, it is also slowing him down and he cannot escape. He is scared Tony will harm him and he uses his last defense mechanism: biting. The rescuers know how to handle him, but they cannot avoid additional pain and trauma when the knotted fishing line needs to be pulled out of his flesh. It's a terrible procedure for both - the rescuers and the seal. We take comfort in the fact that it was at least a quick rescue.
