Kayakers help save seal pups entangled in netting.

Schalk Louw, who filmed these rescues, captured the baby seals in a specially designed blue net after the mammals were trapped.

"We received a network from a good friend in California to help us in our rescue. We are testing it and it works well with small puppies. In the video, Naude is using the net to catch a puppy caught in the line and I used my line cutter to help him and free the puppy, "said Louw.

In another rescue, the kayaker manages to capture a seal for the tail that had lines around his neck.

Louw told Newsflare: "My wire cutter could not cross the line without using excessive force. Fortunately, Francois was there with his Leatherman, so he cut the lines and the puppy could play again."
