  • That is an "obsolete" video. =p

  • OMG ... the end bit... ♥_♥

  • It's scientifically proven that its impossible to look at a baby seal and not say: Awwwww.....

  • will it blend?

  • awwwww he just wants love, give the baby some loovveeeee

  • You have to be a really mean fucker to bash the head in of an animal like this just so you can tear its coat off.

    Then again I have literally never met not 1 sealer who wasn't a total asshole within the first few seconds of meeting him.

  • Oh.... oh my god..... I know what I want for christmas now...

  • What was wrong with him and why did he need rescuing?

  • @WaxItYourself This video was shot a few years ago, so it's hard for us to go back and identify this pup's problem. Our rescue team will get calls from citizens who see a pup on the beach, we'll evaluate each situation and determine if the pup is in distress. Often pups alone on the shore are fine and they are left alone. If they are sick or very malnourished our team will rehab them.

  • @VancouverAquarium Oh okay. I watched a video of a seal pup on wreck beach recently and decided to look into why it would have been on the beach and read that often parents leave their pups on the beach so they can go hunting then go and pick them up at a later time. I've got a whole bunch of questions about this particular incident such as what happened to the pup when it was healed and so on that i'm sure would be unanswerable too lol.

  • @WaxItYourself If you're really interested in more about the rescue process our website has more information about our rescue center and they also maintain a fantastic facebook page "Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre" VAMMRC

  • @USA2741 I would generalize like that.

  • that was the most epic ending

  • Mmm, mommy.. I miss you.

  • Seals are some of the kindest animals on earth. You can just walk along the shore and they will walk right up to you and check you out! Unfortunately, this is taken advantage of, by those who hunt them...

  • This is so cute!

    But i wonder what animale think of humans; as friends or as enemies.

    Excample for à baby seal. How do you feel when u get touched and pet by à bear or somthing

  • Oh I love it when he sucks his flipper! <3

    Those hunters should be clubbed like the way they club these poor babies.....

    Then they can see how good it feels!!!

  • Holy mother fucker, that is the cutest fucking thing I have ever seen.

  • DAAAAAWWWWWWWWW

  • Oh God, I want one!!

  • To you 38 who disliked this video, must be macho hardcore got-no-feeling heartless mo' fo's!!

  • I have nothing but contempt in my heart for those of you who condemn the clubbing of seals while supporting the slaughter of animals for food that modern society has long since evolved beyond the need to produce or consume.

    Either all life has worth or none does. If you're making a subjective statement about which animals deserve to live and which do not then the only difference between you and a seal clubber is that you're afraid to get your hands dirty.

  • @lumburgapalooza Killing a cow and eating the meat is completely different to clubbing a seal and wearing the fur.

  • @jadencore

    No, it isn't. If we needed that meat to survive, it would be different. We've gotten to the point, as a species, where meat is a luxury that we are perfectly capable of living without. Hundreds of millions of people do. Killing an animal for meat is no more necessary than killing a seal for fur. The only difference is the animal and the method.

  • @lumburgapalooza Meat is hardly a luxury, some people need to eat it to stay healthy with the strenuous activities they do. Its all well and good to say 'lets not eat meat', but animals eat other animals, and I don't see PETA protesting the killer whales who eat seals, or the lions that eat zebras, but when I want to have a cheeseburger suddenly I'm the monster?

  • @jadencore

    Meat is very much a luxury. With the slightest bit of effort, anyone without any severe metabolic problems can live 100% meat-free. As far as "strenuous activity" goes, there is more protein and, thus, more energy in tofu and other soy products than there is in red meat. There are NFL players who are vegans.

    Lions and killer whales don't exactly have the ability to process or cook soy. They eat meat purely out of necessity. We, however, eat meat because we like it. It's a luxury.

  • @lumburgapalooza And what if I told you that I've eaten soy and its one of the foulest things I've ever tasted? I can't exactly 'adapt' to liking soy.

  • @jadencore

    If you told me that then I would have to tell you that soy has no taste. It's simply a protein which can be cooked to absorb the taste of a certain dish, seasoning etc..

    That being said, if you don't like soy (which is a lot like saying you don't like liquid), there's plenty of bean and nut substitutes which work just as well.

    As far as "adapting" to taste goes, human beings are capable of adapting to most things.

    If this is all purely a taste issue then you've proven my point.

  • @lumburgapalooza So if you have issue with the slaughter of animals for clothing and eating purposes, what about using animals for other uses, like glue, or wool, or leisure, or milk, or eggs? Where does the 'ethical treatment of animals' draw the line? Will it get to a point where people protest the simple milking of a cow as being 'harmful and inhumane'?

  • @jadencore

    I'm a vegan. I don't use any animal products at all.

    That's irrelevant, though. The discussion is whether or not the use of animal products is at all necessary, or if it's a luxury; a crutch. I live fine without any animal products. Millions of people do the same. Vegetarianism is the easiest part of the whole ordeal. It's painfully obvious that eating meat is not a necessity. It's done simply because people like meat.

    Whether or not that's wrong is a different subject altogether.

  • @jadencore

    That being said, if your problem is with the concept of killing seals for their fur then you must also admit that the concept of killing another animal for equally frivolous reasons is wrong.

    Otherwise you're just advocating for seals because they're cute.

  • @lumburgapalooza There is no real reason to harvest seals for their fur. However, killing a cow for its meat and especially its leather has many practical uses, like boots, jackets, protective gear, and as already mentioned, food. If you use the entire animal, then I really see no problem, but if you're just killing it for its fluffy coat, then yes, I do see a problem. I don't like people killing seals for their fur any more than killing crocodiles to make purses for a fashion statement.

  • @jadencore

    There IS a reason to harvest seals. Their fur sells and makes the trapper a living, providing food for his family. Again, you're dodging the point. Is it strictly necessary? What you seem to be describing is the fact that you dislike wasting animal products.

    What you're saying is that you would have absolutely no problem with clubbing baby seals if the entire baby seal was put to some practical use.

    While I understand this mentality, I can't agree with you. It just disgusts me.

  • @lumburgapalooza Well then what is your problem with it then if you yourself admit that it serves a purpose? Humans have killed animals for food and resources since the dawn of time, why should we stop harvesting livestock now?

  • @jadencore

    Killing Jews served the purpose of making candles. That doesn't mean that it was justified or right.

    We should stop killing animals now because, as I've said a thousand time, we don't need to. Why should we hold animals in captivity only to be killed when it is completely unnecessary? Have you ever seen the conditions of a factory farm? You can not possibly imagine the suffering that these animals endure just so that people can enjoy a steak. That, in my eyes, is wrong.

  • @lumburgapalooza Indulge yourself in this video. watch?v=x2c16L0VLB0&feature=su­b

  • @lumburgapalooza By the way, real classy bringing up Jews when I never even said anything about them, when you're reduced to brining up Nazi Germany in an argument, you're definitely running out of intelligent things to say, especially when you earlier accused me of dodging the issue. 

  • @jadencore

    Kid, come on. You're not that dumb. I never compared any situation to the holocaust nor you to anyone of Nazi-affiliation. It was an appropriate analogy for the situation. Don't blow things out of context just so that you can ignore the actual point being made.

    As far as the video goes, what was that actually for? Those guys are hit and miss at best, and that one missed. Were you trying to disturb me? Child, I've seen the bodies of children littering the streets of abandoned cities.

  • @lumburgapalooza Oh I'm sorry, how dare I connect you saying "Killing Jews served the purpose of making candles" to Nazi Germany, I must be retarded or something for making that connection. And don't assume I'm a kid, for all you know I could be forty, trying to demean me by calling me a child is just a pathetic way of gaining the upper hand in an argument. And once again you say I'm ignoring the point. How? Because I don't see "We've advanced as a species, eat tofu" as a good arguement

  • @lumburgapalooza it doesn't mean I'm ignoring your point. I don't think too many people living in third world countries would complain or refuse if they got a few steaks thrown their ways. How do you feel about fish by the way? Is there anything wrong with eating them? And yes, I know I'm being a passive aggressive dick, and I'm sorry, its just how I go about these arguments.

  • @jadencore

    I call you a child because I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. If you weren't a child it would be sad.

    Yes, what I said was a REFERENCE to Nazi Germany. That doesn't mean that I was literally drawing a contrast between situations or individuals.

    If "We've advanced as a species, eat tofu" doesn't strike you as a good argument, then how about "We've advanced as a species, stop spreading pain and death just because we feel like it"?

  • @jadencore

    No, people in third world countries wouldn't refuse a steak. We don't live in a third world country, do we? We live in a country in which we have the ability to completely and totally avoid having to cause pain and death in order to survive. Eating meat should be a necessity and in certain parts of the world it is. I don't begrudge anyone their self-preservation, just their sense of entitlement.

    I don't eat fish. The concept is the same.

  • @lumburgapalooza So you have double-standards then? Go fuck yourself with a Angus Meat Dildo you up-yourself hippy bitch. I'm off to have a cheeseburger and some chicken nuggets, have fun eating your fucking soy shit.

  • @jadencore

    There's no double standard. Either you need meat to survive or you don't. It's a very clear line which is easily distinguishable in any given scenario.

    It's become obvious that you're frustrated. You haven't really made a clear counterpoint in this entire conversation. Grasping at straws has failed you and so now you're just getting mad.

    I'm sorry that you're upset but that's really not my fault. I've only expressed my opinion and presented my reasoning. The rest is your doing.

  • @jadencore

    Oh, by the way... it's funny that you should call it "soy shit", since YOU'RE the one eating food with large amounts of feces in it.

    Enjoy. = )

  • @lumburgapalooza I wish people knew how unfair is to use that term "Third World" for starters we all live in the same planet and walk under the same star. Second among all those third world countries there are different stages of development they are not all in the same state. You'd be surprised to find out that in some of this "third world" countries people would refuse a steak, there are some vegetarian people and some vegan ones. I don't think you meant any disrespect, it's just...

  • @lumburgapalooza That I keep stumbling into this term of common use however derogatory and not accurate They're called Developing Countries. No one deserves to be cast out to some imaginary "third world" no matter how poor they are or not. We all live in the third world from the sun.

  • @komoriaimi

    No, you're right. I don't mean any disrespect. There was no harm intended in the phrase and, to be honest, I don't think I could think of a person at whom the phrase might be aimed that would take any serious offense to its use.

    If it bothers you then I won't use it in front of you. That being said, this is a public forum. I'd recommend simply ignoring it.

    Also, I would not be surprised that "there are some vegetarian people and some vegan ones" in the third world. Not at all.

  • @lumburgapalooza You could have saved the sarcasm I wasn't being rude to you. I lived in one of those so called third world countries and people don't like that term. On the media is not used for that reason. And guess what :O !!! They have internet, and computers, they watch TV and go to youtube and they see that term that is diminishing. I was trying for once to explain the difference. But whatever people are a lost cause.

  • @komoriaimi

    There was no sarcasm. Everything I said was entirely literal. It's become apparent that you have no interest in doing anything but stroking some sense of moral superiority, here, so I'm just going to let you have it. Enjoy the last word.

  • seal coats and hats are ok if the seal died naturaly instead of being clubbed to death

  • I WANT A BABY SEAL AS A PET.

  • One time I was walking at the beach and there was just a seal chillen on a rock and I tried to walk passed it but it yelled at me.

  • Baby seals are like the cutest kitten combined with the cutest puppy!

  • voll der süße schatz, wir menschen sollten mehr respekt vor dem leben haben und vor der natur

  • That's so cute !

    It sucks its thumb...

    I mean, it sucks its flipper.

  • Things need to be done naturally more u wont see things like that helping with tubes and stuff tat is like abuse and torture 1000 years back it was nothing like that... tellin ye humans did not thought through to make a fair agreement keepin natural in it but dis is nothing like natural

  • To add on humans are actully not needed for all livings things to survive in this world

  • That way for them is very unatural we humans are just MAKING Nature angry and in a box wot da hell u pple how wud u feel if u wud treated like an experiment with stuff...

  • God bless you all for all of the good work you do in saving these precious creatures!

    I'm essentially broke right now, but as soon as I can I will gladly make a donation.

    P.S. Loved the end of the video where he was sleeping & suckling on his front flipper(those adorable little slurping sounds!too cute for words!) as well as twitching/flopping his hind flippers about! How precious!

  • Surely he does belong amongst wildflowers.

  • Seals are super gay.

  • @mbm13213 you have issues

  • SAVE THE ANIMALS, SAVE THE WORLD, THIS WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE!! // Salva los animales, salva el mundo, esto podra salvar tu vida!!!

  • Who else feels all warm inside when when you see people who actually care about something as beautiful as this?

  • How can anyone not see how beautiful these creatures are? Anyone who can hurt any animal or any creature is just heartless and soulless. Oh and those evil people might wanna be prepared with lots of bags of ice 'cause it's hot where they're headed.

  • Save Our Seals! :)

  • POOR THING TAKE THAT BACK TO ITS HABITAT ! IT'S DYING!!

  • keep it in an aquarium for the rest of its life, good job

  • @questionch What, you wanna throw it out to the ocean where someone will kill it for fur, or worse, for sport?

  • Oh my godd.

    How it looks and the sound it makes combined

    seriously melts you in cutenesss.

  • It sucked it flipper! Too CUTE

  • I normally save this for some Sparta Remix videos, but, OMG TEH CUTENESS! Those eyes! That whimper! AWWWWWWWWW!

  • I love seals and for the little fuck tard who said feed it to the orca screw u. Id rather have these cute little guys ratger than those blood thirsty sharks ans wales

  • AWWW he/she doesnt have teeth!

  • I really don't know much about Seals but this is my take on them.

    It looks like a Dog that can swim and has flippers. But they seem VERY intelligent, very lovable and loyal like a Dog and the "sucking flipper" thing at the end....that blew me away.

    How the F is it legal to kill these animals??????????

  • @mrceebees14 As their predators have wittled down, they've been overbreeding like deer as of late, and if they are allowed to keep on breeding unhampered then tons upon tons of stuff will go extinct.

    I think the seal hunt should definately develop a practice style that isn't cruel, but...yeah. Not doing this will absolutely ruin the enviroment.

  • @Windyshoot Heh you could take this comment replace seal with humans and it would be entirely true. But we can't hunt humans can we....

  • Was this the Seal that was found on the beach??

    And please explain to me how they could kill this so cruely, just so they could take the animals pelt?

  • hey guys kennys eatin his hand agin

  • Awwww~~~~~  Soo sweet

  • seal get well sooon thanks to whoever saved it i love you

  • I want to be a marine biologist, majoring in seals, and this guy is just so ADORABLE!! And I hope everyone knows that I have and will try my best to protect this planet, and all the animals inside it, including humans. Even if I have to die in the process.

  • @CeleneMarcum Good for you. We need more of these darling little critters. The canadian government is a hypocrite cuz they let these wonderful people rescue these little things yet they let these heartless monsters club them. I mean what the hell is that? You know what i'm saying?

  • I saw this vid a lot of times and actually I will do it again....Is the anything sweetest than this?

  • aww the big round eyes is melting me

  • the pup has to be let out at sum point of its life or else when they choose to let the pup go it might not move

  • Beautiful baby seal. Let's keep our oceans clean of garbage and pollution.
