I've been binge watching this channel of these dudes chasing down and rescuing seals caught up in crap we dump in the ocean. This is just one beach and they have like 100 videos over the past 9 months.

Probably the best 12 min of YouTube I have seen today. One thing though...cut UP not down...just in case the blade slips.

That was more emotional than I thought it would be.
