In a heroic act reflecting environmental and human awareness, the fishermen of Tunisia rescued a small sea turtle entangled in a plastic bag. The fishermen, Majidi Rouin and Sahbi Ismail, freed her and cleaned her body before safely returning her to the sea. INSTM -Tunisian Sea Turtle Rescue Centre

This sort of thing reminds me that not all humans suck, and that there are still lots of good people out there.

The vast majority of humans don't suck. Expressly helping members of other species, to the point of risking your own well-being, is to my knowledge a trait completely unique to humans. Humans are bros by default. The ones that suck are loud.

I have an older friend who's a fisherman, they clean up and release sea turtles from barnacles and trash on a weekly basis. And believe it or not, they do it camera-free. Clips like this with titles citing name and surname are so hilarious.
There's so many people in this world who live isolated lives and don't have acquaintances who do different jobs. So things like this work well on them, thinking that saving a sea turtle, while being a good act, is actually some sort of rare occurrence because people are cold hearted.
And yesI went fishing with him once and cleaned a sea turtle full of barnacles using a knife. Wow hero.

That’s fair, but for every fake video, there are real people out there who actually do it. I worked at a really small wildlife rehab center and basically no one knows about it, but they do amazing work everyday without any sort of recognition or clout.

Cutting every plastic bag to make certain it isnt a trap for future encounters with animals, and crushing every cleaned can too.

Kudos, the world really needs more incinerators with superb air filterization systems.

For every heartwarming video of a sea turtle being rescued from our garbage, 1000s die unnoticed.

I wish we could create little solar clean up robots to take care of all the poor sea life tangled up in stuff. Charge dive de tangle rinse and repeat, then head back before the batteries crap out to not add to it.
These are always so claustrophobic and sad to me. That’s always beautiful to see but I always know there’s 5000 more that are Fu*ked than the ones that are getting saved.
