Scars of Freedom - An entangled whale

- Scars of Freedom documents the repercussions of human negligence juxtaposed with the incredible power of human compassion. An entangled humpback whale left for dead; a fishing net, her anvil. On location for a documentary film off the coast of Chile, we heard a radio call that a fisherman had spotted an entangled whale. A net, estimated to weigh 250 kilograms, had cut halfway through one side of her tail. Though untrained for such missions, we set off to her rescue and captured incredible footage. Beautiful images of humpbacks swimming through the protected waters off Hawaii contrast to the trauma of this story, concluding with a powerful statement: 'Change begins with the heart.'
Stupidity, Carelessness and cruelty of human beings Will destroy the world. Thank you to everyone who helped the animal world.
Punish all the MFs Sailors who hurts the sea wild life. With prison time or execution. Sorry S My personal opinion.
Gabriel Morero, Do you really believe that all of them do it intentionally or negligently? Have you ever fished? Are you so perfect? Millions, if not billions of people depend upon fish harvested from the sea. Would you have them all starve? Or perhaps you believe that their lives are of lesser value? I am sure that there are those that could care less about the damage they do. I seriously doubt that they are more than a tiny minority. Even if you only consider the cost in dollars, no fisherman wants to spend more money replacing lost equipment. It is incredibly expensive! Look up the cost a fishing equipment. It will blow your mind. Even the most ruthless of fisherman would prefer keeping and retrieving all of their equipment. You are awfully quick to judge and condemn people to death. I'm pretty sure that no one would ever promote or elect you to ANY position that requires judgment and reasoned decisions.
Please don't say human beings, grouping us all together. There is a very small number of people that are deliberately causing harm through carelessness and greed. But I'm pretty sure that for every single person that causes harm to this planet and the wildlife, there are at least 100 people doing good things to and for our environment. Do you only see evil? Perhaps an eye exam would help. Have you ever met anyone deliberately fouling this world? More likely you generalize and blame some nebulous groups of people that are doing the best they can to destroy the world. Pretty stupid, if you think about it.
In honor of your father , and you , and your team , great action , great atitude , we all thank you !!!!!!!
Heart-felt thanks to all who unselfishly give of their time, experience, and resources to help these beautiful, gentle giants of God's creation. God bless you.
I've seen loads of these rescues from entangled fishing equipment which just goes to show how much garbage we leave in the oceans and it's truly distressing to think how many don't get saved. We really need to start being proper stewards of this planet and not just selfish reckless abusers of this beautiful world and its other inhabitants.
When the persistence and responsible behaviour of good natured people achieve an objective that is a benefit to the earth and all of the inhabitants therein, I applaud their efforts! And admire them for what they do! Those are extraordinary people!!! But, when the persistence of bad natured, irresponsible people brings death and destruction, that is a detriment to the earth! This really disturbs me on so many levels!!! Those kind of people are abusers, exploiter's and neglector's!!! And yes it is true, I agree, we need to be good stewards of this beautiful planet we are so incredibly blessed with by the creator of both the heavens and the earth!!
Don’t worry about it, if they die, they are food for other starving fishes
Ambrose Malachi That's no comfort at all just a sad part of the circle of life plus it could also damage whatever creatures eat the original animal.
Watching these has certainly made me think about my personal choices much more seriously. It is very distressing.
Stop buying fish. These animals get caught in nets not plastic bottles and bags.
It's so satisfying not seeing the divers give up, and the nets finally giving way. Thank-you for not giving up!!
4:05 uh they did give up and they weren't able to the get the part off of the tail
@@rremmy72 oh shut up you boring pig
@@rremmy72 p.s. just looked on your channel. Does Jesus help with your sarcasm? It doesn't look like it 👹
@@rremmy72 They didn't give up, they did all they could do. But when a whale is stuck in netting it begins to panic and it means it can be extremely dangerous just getting up close to it, let alone trying to cut off wiring. It could have led to the divers possibly being killed and the whale hurting itself even more.
They should still try to cut some more because the damage by entangled net is very large.
The fault lies with irresponsible fishermen who simply leave nets to drift around. Humans are a danger to every life form on Earth and thank you to all those who try to undo some of the damage.
Todd Stamos What? No! You don’t leave nets in the ocean!
Todd Stamos what about the seals who gets trapped in these nets? The turtles, sea-lions, manta rays? They are trapped in these same nets as the whales and they die due to it cutting into their skin making them weak, unable to eat properly, swim to get enough food, decapitating them basically. But yes overpopulation is a burden on the resources on earth
@Todd Stamos we do not need to eat fish to survive, these animals need the seas to survive.
It’s stories like this that makes my heart ❤️ joyful and appreciation and love for mankind!!!!!! Thank you so very much for saving this magnificent creature!!!!!!!!
Thank You Team, you are the most wonderful human beings on the face of this planet. I can’t thank enough for what you have done and do. Love from UAE 🇦🇪
I truly believe there's a place in the after life for good & caring people, there's a place for the people who have no respect for animals or the planet as well. my hats off to the people who saved this whale
Sorry but I wish the worst suffering for the people who kill or injured any animals..for sports or intentionally. death and hell. ..
Real Hereos of the world. Salute to you guys. Love from UAE 🇦🇪
I cried. Thanks, brave men! ❤️🐳🐋🙏
Entanglement is a heart-breaking threat to large cetaceans. Some are lucky to escape with scars. The intelligence of the Humpback Whale to recognize and allow assistance rewarded the rescuer's commitment despite great risk of bodily injury due to the close proximity to its powerful flukes.
Dunyanin neresinde olursan ol kalbinde sevgi varsa sen mukemel bir insansin . Hepinize yurekten tesekur ederimmm
When I see them being harmed and tangled up in nets something inside me dies, it hurts that much. I can go from sadness to hate in the blink of a eye. To harm any living being is just plain wrong.
Heroic efforts and monumental results. I salute these brave and good people. I know they wished they could have gotten that last bit, and I wish it, too. But I believe this made the difference between life and death for this whale. Respect and gratitude.
A big thank you for the people that take the time to rescue these ocean creatures wether or not seals, turtles, whales or sharks. There must be a way to track who these nets belong to!
Gratidão por existirem! ❤️
I'm so happy to see this video. The people who freed the baby whale were heroes !❤😊
Wonderful video, wonderful human beings! Thank you so much!!!!
Thanks to the people who are trying to save the baby ! ❤ Wow
Они даже без аквалангов,профессионалы своего дела! Браво!

БЕДНЫЕ ЖИВОТНЫЕ !!! ЛЮДИ НЕ ГУБИТЕ НАШУ ЗЕМЛЮ !!! НАШИХ БЕСПОМОЩНЫХ ЖИВОТНЫХ !!!!БЛАГОДАРНОСТЬ ВСЕМ СПАСАТЕЛЯМ !!!! КАЗАХСТАН
It's a shame to humanity. How can we be so cruel to animals? I pray we could finally rightly deal with the wastes all over the world.
Unbelievable footage!❤ I am so grateful for your efforts . V very very happy 😊
So Kind, A wonderful deed! Thank You
Thankful 💓
Thankyou! And god bless you guys❤❤
Only great people can prove our humanity!!!!! Enough said!
Thank you for your kindness. I bet the whale appreciates your efforts, and so do I. GF1 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😎
...SO EMOTIONAL SO POWERFUL..
I wonder if that whale survived. Its tail was pretty severely damaged.
Woman of Substance I wonder too. And she was too young to live without her mother. Hope they were reunited.
THANK YOU
beautiful efforts to directing it to freedom , at her tail l saw part of the net ,did you get it out ,thanks for saving this creature ,
I've spent days watching the devastation brought about by man's greed and I shall carry on watching the videos, why? I'm hoping I will see some action by governments to not only stop the carnage, but the pollution that is going into the oceans , tons by the minute. I see some of the videos and wonder, why is the water looking like soup?
I don't think those wounds are ever going to heal. Must have been painful.
Thank you for everything you do!! God Bless!!
Thanks
Thank you, all of you those, helping nature the real god's 🙏🙏🙏🙏
What a great story and what a terrible thought our poor earth and animals
We need to clean the oceans and protect all animals. The whole planet deserves to be a much better place for all living creatures, and it's only up to us human beings to do this.
It's not logical to pollute and kill our planet just for the economic profit, it's a nonsense we have to solve as soon as possible.
Keep up the good work God bless amen.
Never give up, thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
God bless you.
human makes problem everywhere...
Thanks Rescue Team
All members of my dive team carry special knives , multi tools and hemostats for removing lines and netting . We use grappling hooks to "drag" for nets and lines .
From January to this date 10-7- 2019 = Over 1200 pounds of old fishnets and lines . They are ground to pieces and recycled .
Never stop the fight to keep our oceans free of plastics and prosecute those who are irresponsible against marine life .
Bravo!! héroes con tanque de oxígeno... HÉROES sin capa.. HÉROES de los mares...
They should remove the entire net from it's wing ... :-(
Easier to say than to do...
That's almost impossible if the whale doesn't keep still. Being hit by that tail will kill you instantly eventhough the whale doesn't have the intention doing that.
@@Saartje05 That tail was severely damaged and can barely move. Even without that the tail hit cannot kill you in the water, there won't be enough power. What you're saying is true but only above the water, so that wasn't the problem. The problem was the net has probably been there for a very long time judging by the damage and infections done and has merged with the tail. If they try to remove it that will cause unimaginable pain to the whale and the whale may die
She was losing her pod! 🐋💔 God bless what they did. They gave her a much better chance. Go for the motherfers who left the crap in the first place
@@raycolt8315 😪😔
These are Great people saving and helping sea life..I hope every net they see they cut and destroy it never leaving any of it in the sea.Man will Destroy sea life from plastics such as these nets.
Благодарю вас всех дай вам счастье и смысл миссии нашей существовании
thank you so much guys,well-done
❤️
At a time like this when such a massive net and such atrocious wounds ultimately caused by man's inhumane carelessness, Sea World of San Diego should've been called, the USA is the only country in the world with the massive amount of intellect and knowledge to help free this beautiful majestic creature and get her back to her family in time plus help her heal from her wounds caused by a despicable human!
Amazing job. Thanks for your help B your. 🙏👠👠
Absolutely awesome ❤ Whales 1:01

Ребята, срезайте до конца сети, плавники надорваны от веревок, что же вы их оставили.

Wonderful job people.
Very good job boys ..🥰🥰🥰🥰
Their so incredibly huge and have the littlest looking eyes
FELICIDADES A ESTOS JOVENES POR SU BELLA ACION A ESTOS AMIMALITOS GRANDIOSOS
Good job guys
Bravo👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🙏🙏
Abandoned nets are an absolute danger. I think that all fisherman should be made to put an identification marker on their nets
Merci
thanks boyes
I wish those responsible would have to pay for these rescues, is there not a way to track which nets etc. Belong to each fishing companies or fisheries?
Wouldn't it be great if each fishing vessel had to pay a tax, and every time a creature got entangled in *any* net whatsoever the whole of the tax went up for every vessel. The fishermen would soon sort the problem out if they were losing money due to other vessels' incompetence. And yes, those nets need to be inspected and tagged with the owners details. This problem could be solved, but it looks as if the powers that be really don't want to put steps in place to solve it
@@VMM34 that would be amazing, 😃 I will pray ! 🙁..😇..💝
@@sandraotero5951 😁😁😁 I will pray for this to happen too Sandra. 👍👍👍 Your comment is lovely !
Believe it or not, due to Tweakers stealing every bit of copper they can get their hands on, most suppliers of wire now come with identifying marks on The Wire and insulation. Every little piece can be tracked to the owner, helping scrap metal yards determine whether or not the scrap metal is owned by the person trying to sell it. Something similar could easily be done with the rope and line used to build fishing nets. Conscientious countries would probably adopt some program like that, while other countries would refuse. Call your representatives. Make the suggestion. Start a movement. Do something besides complain.
@@VMM34 You do not understand the problem. Even the most ruthless of fisherman never do this intentionally. Fishing equipment is unbelievably expensive. Even the worst of them do not want to lose the least bit of their equipment. Secondly, the people in the fishing industry, if you ever took a moment to meet some of them, are more caring and active in protecting wildlife and the environment than any outraged CZcams viewer.
GOOD JOB 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow, My best friend, Wonderful video dear. I enjoyed watching. Hope to see you soon...
Horrific stats for these magnificent creatures .... Their decline would be massive without the monitoring and help for survival ?!?!
Walau tdk paham aku bisa lihat videonya,, mengharukan ...bagi aku..salut untuk pencinta satwa
Really great relief to whale.
great video and rescue. I am just wondering, did you leave the large bundle of net on the whales injured tail?
About the other part of creatures ?
Sad Millions suffering under the sea water 😪😭
😢
Sadly, nature was always in balance. Then humans became "civilized" and the pollution started.
Belo. Trabalho
Plz humans. Plz. I cry to you. Plz save these species. Plz. Don't destroy such beautiful species just by your fault. I cry to you. Plz keep marine clean and safe. We are on the verge of destruction for such misdeeds.
The UN should mandate and strongly enforce an international law that makes all nets without exception that is used for fishing equipped with GPS tracking devices that will make lost nets identifiable and quickly findable if lost by the owners and or users of these nets. Any and all boats using non GPS nets will be seized by any and all countries militaries under mandate of the UN. Let's solve this problem once and for all.
I'm japanese,16years old. I like ocean and marine lives.
my dream is to help ocean lives from garbages by human. I am sure to do it. And all marine lives make happy. Every body effort for it, we can accomplish ,,, let's make wonderful world, oceans by our hands!
私は日本の16歳です。海と海洋生物が好きです。私の夢は海洋生物たちを人間によるゴミから助けることです、私は必ず叶えて見せます。そしてすべての海洋生物たちを幸せにします。皆で努力をすれば、必ず成し遂げられるはずです。すばらしい世界、海を作りましょう私達の手で！
💙
Сети растягивают,а киты потом попадают в них,хорошо когда есть такие герои,помогающие этим красивым исполинам,а так ведь сколько гибнет из-за человеческой безалаборности
I think at port every fishing boat should be inspected for how many nets they have on board by a official who job is net control when they leave port a count takes place when they come another count takes place if any are missing lost at sea they should be fined it should be law then maybe it would help these beautiful creatures
God bless👼🙏❤ you
Deus abençoe e proteja vcs!
good job fellas
Bravo
we are save action ocean very good ! greatest love for animal
i am no religious affiliation..but i think this is one of the things the Lord intends
谁是英雄？你们就是，谁再挽救海洋，还是你们。象你们敬礼
