This rescue is two seal pups tied together by heavy fishing rope.
They are working now. Every now and then they disappear for me too.PS, It's weird that we can only like posts now. All the other like emoticons are gone.
This is how the seal rescue team started.
If you are interested in spending some time in Crete, check out Takis animal shelter. He accepts volunteers... maybe he hires staff too, not sure. I think he provides a place to stay for volunteers, maybe food. He has about 700 dogs, some cats and several goats.Did you read my mind @Debp?
I was wondering if these guys get paid, if its a government initiative or if they are volunteers.
Turns out they are doing this out of the goodness of their own hearts, volunteering. That's just wonderful. I'd be happy to do something like this if I had a place to stay, food to eat and enough money to pay my bills. Iv always thought it would be great to work at a vet clinic or a zoo looking after animals. That would be so rewarding. Maybe I should apply of these kinds of jobs despite having no experience. Who knows, I might get lucky
As tempting as it is to just drop everything and go to Greece to help out, I couldn't leave my parents here all alone, their getting old now and I need to be close to them. I might try to look for such places around hereIf you are interested in spending some time in Crete, check out Takis animal shelter. He accepts volunteers... maybe he hires staff too, not sure.

Panoramic view of the shelter:
Takis never gives up on the animals...many are rescued from abusive conditions.
One of the success stories:
These video shows Takis who has devoted his life to helping animals.
Thank God they were found so to be saved.This baby seal looked back at his rescuers.
I can understand that... you have responsibilities. I took care of my 94 year old mother until she died... two years ago this June 21. Time flies.As tempting as it is to just drop everything and go to Greece to help out, I couldn't leave my parents here all alone, their getting old now and I need to be close to them.

Yes these guys do a lot of great work. I even saw videos where they rescued a few small sharks from shallow water back to the ocean. Also they helped a huge beached whale back into the ocean with some other guys.Thank God they were found so to be saved.
Maybe the baby seals want to stay with rescuers because they're starving. And if they lost their mom's,maybe other seal moms don't adopt orphan pups.
