specinho + 480 18 hours ago Watch a short clip yesterday. Barnacles are injuring a seal by growing on its body. The seal was bleeding in pain & rescued by polar wildlife guards. It was touching at first the way mankind contribute to saving an injured wild life. Today, youtube autoselects many more scenes on injured whale, turtle, polar bear, bear mother begging human to help affected baby polar bear, etc. It was disheartening. A quick check to know where do they normally live and on what temperature, it's alarming... Either shipping industry has brought forth this disaster to them or climate change, or both... Wondering where do they normally cleaned barnacles off ships or boats? Everywhere? How do they do it? Scrapping and dropping those back to the sea?? If favourite temperature for barnacles range from 23'C to 28'C, can they survive 4'C of icy water temperature? Polar animals are starving due to low fishery growth caused by pollution, climate change etc. Now, they are injured unnecessarily by barnacles which should not be there. Anyone has idea, how to change it? If we care for animals, why haven't we the same care for one human who is injured & needs help?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
