Enjoy but please protect!

Although I've posted many videos about using affection to remove hooks I thought you might find this specific video where we saved a lemon shark from a packing strap that has been on it for so long that it had cut through its skin all the way around in fact in one place the skin had grown back over the packing strap! There have been many sharks that I have used restraint in order to remove hooks and other terrible human made issues and some are actually caught on camera like this one! I had seen this shark before with the packing strap and tried to get the strap cut while underwater unsuccessfully and did not see it again for 3 more months but on this day we managed to put a rope on its tail and with everybody's help pull it out of the water caught the packing strap and push it back into the water! Tell me what you think of this please. The guess that were on board were very happy to help with this and as you can see from the enthusiasm after we were successful it was definitely well worth our efforts! Obviously we need to make sure that we don't put anything in the water that could trap any animal! Enjoy but please protect!
