1/5 Complete Property N. 3 years ago on Google
Directed
at
office
and
Rangers(not
the
parks)
Yesterday,
17
January
2021,we
were
standing
at
the
look
out
point
next
to
the
Wilderness
Gardens
Estate
when
we
saw
something
crawling
out
of
the
water
and
tossing
and
turning.
Keep
further
in
mind
that
beaches
are
closed
at
this
time
due
to
lockdown
regulations.
Looking
closer,it
looked
like
a
seal.
Seeing
it
as
an
exception,
with
nobody
that
could
tell
me
otherwise
after
enquiring
and
a
living
creature
in
distress,
I
went
down
to
the
beach
to
investigate.
Got
there,
and
it
was
a
baby
Cape
Fur
seal
that
was
entangled
and
in
distress(normally
feisty
when
you
get
close,
this
one
was
not)
I
phoned
Sanparks
to
report
and
mentioned
exact
location,
there
are
not
many
Wilderness
Beach
Hotels
and
Wilderness
Gardens
Estate,is
there?
I
was
told
that
rangers
would
be
sent
to
assist.
It
is
now
Monday
18
January
2021,
and
they
are
yet
to
arrive,
after
calling
the
office
as
well
as
a
member
of
Sanparks
directly.
I
have
no
experience
in
handling
such
animals.
I
tried
my
best
for
over
3
hours-just
made
curfew,
and
the
animal
got
freed
and
rested
and
went
back
to
the
ocean.
So
happy
ending
at
least.
I
also
kept
it
cool
as
it
was
literally
baking
in
the
sun.(I
know
they
sometimes
lie
in
the
sun,this
was
not
the
case,it
was
stuck,entangled
in
the
sun)
My
questions
is,
why
can
Sanparks
act
quickly
if
you
set
one
foot
wrong
in
a
matter
of
minutes,
but
cannot
act
when
animals
are
in
need?
Is
it
because
it
was
a
Sunday?
Or
does
Sanparks
only
cater
for
plant
life??
If
they
could
not
assist,
then
just
say
so
and
I
would
have
gone
somewhere
else,
but
I
think
its
a
double
standard
in
putting
up
boards
all
over
with
rules
and
warnings
if
you
mess
with
wildlife,
but
don't
even
take
care
of
helping
with
distressed
animals.
I
would
like
a
response
to
my
questions
please.
