Rescuing Seals with embedded fishing lines
These embedded fishing lines slowly and very painfully kill these animals, slowly cutting into their body. It's a very horrible way to die. (Though I guess I might prefer that over being thrown 80 feet into the air by killer whales.)
And seals are visible and easy to catch. Imagine what it must be like for other marine mammals out in the ocean. First the whaling for oil, and now this. (Though I guess the embedded fishing line has been an issue for hundreds of years.)
I embedded these two videos.
This following embedded video is particularly difficult for the seal at 5:57. It's heartbreaking.
And since I mentioned it, here's a 3rd embedded video of a killer whale throwing a seal 80 feet into the air.

Re: Rescuing Seals with embedded fishing lines
These guys have amazing eye sight. Look at all the seal that they pick out. Or maybe it's that there are so many seals with embedded fishing lines.

You're going to have to elaborate a little bit further. I don't think that if I show a psychiatrist this thread, that I made about seals getting rescued, that he would think there's anything wrong. But if you're right, then perhaps I'm impaired and just not seeing why it requires help.

Re: Rescuing Seals with embedded fishing lines
For about 2 months I was hooked on watching these videos. I bet there's a lot of great whites out there looking to take advantage of disabled seals and any primate meat sacks that happen to be in the area.

Re: Rescuing Seals with embedded fishing lines
jstern hit on something quite frankly I would never say : I was wrong about dumping fishing line in lakes. (I assumed it sunk and went into the muck)
Many many fisherman do this , and this summer in a neighboring lake had a loon stuck with fish line.
Last year I fished with two fish biologists , and I broke my line off, they retrieved it and never said a word.
Just this past week 3 loons in Wisconsin had fish hooks in their ears .... what (yep that is correct )

I don't understand this question. I mentioned that I embedded those two videos. It's part of the presentation. "Embedded these two videos." "Posted these two videos." "Watch these two videos." " Checkout these two videos." And so on. It would be like me saying, checkout these pictures, followed by the embedded pictures.

Yes, they're very interesting. Though I'm sure sharks are also having similar problems.
I guess not a great example since the sharks were probably going for the bait. But I was impressed with what seems to be almost dolphin like self awareness from these sharks.

This morning, after waking I wondered if people just threw their fishing line in the water after they're done with it.
Those biologist should have said something. If they just stay silent when seeing a person doing something that will likely hurt an animal, particularly if it's because the person doesn't know, then they would be saving many, many animals from pain and suffering.

Why didn't you create a new thread about the topic? Very suspicious.

If you wake up and think about such a trivial subject ... I am afraid you need to find a better life.
*Most fisherman don't throw line into the water ; their lure or hook is stuff on a rock or timber and can't free it. It either is broken off by tugging on it , or breaking the line. It happens. It is not easy to retrieve.

I just felt like you have some motive in telling this.

Interesting Jasper logic. If something pops into somebody's head, then it means that it's something that consumes that person's life. Which leads me to believe, and I hate to say it, but there has to be such low mental activity up there that literally nothing ever comes up in your head. And so you hearing that something pops into somebody's mind equals great mental activity. A consumption of a large amount of mental energy. It's very interesting.
And it's also interesting that you think such pollution is trivial.

You're ruining it. I feel that if we just normalize the use of the term embedded YouTube video, then indirectly Jasper could become comfortable and learn. But you keep asking questions about it, pointing the spotlight on it. Making a big deal. Patrick Chewing tried the fear, I was trying benign elicitation.

Obviously Lebron23. I'm even starting to wonder if his account was recently hacked.
