The only reason we come to an animals rescue is if the injury is due to human interference such as a packing band around their neck etc. I hasten to add that when ever we get something like this on packaging in base we immediately cut in just in case it gets out of the waste disposal bags.
Sarah saw a widge (juvenile fur seal) with a band around it’s neck so she called Alastair. The two of us went out with a blade (to cut the band off) and a noose to hold the seal steady while cutting the band off. Alastair held the seal and I cut the noose it seemed to be a happier seal for it.
