Kind fishermen rescue a poor seal completely trapped in net

We hate seeing animals in distress, and wish we could rescue them all from harm's way.

When two fishermen from Maine saw a seal trapped in a fishing net floating in the water, they immediately took action to rescue the little sea puppy. They lifted the seal onto their boat, and carefully cut away the net to set him free. The seal barks a bit throughout the process, but we think he knows he's in good hands. Once the net is cut, the seal wiggles free and is placed back into the water, but not before getting a few scratchies from his heroes.

This is the type of good deed we love to see.
