This is the consequence of fishermen polluting our beaches with discarded fishing line hooks and sinkers It doesnt just effect the marine life This poor little bird got hooked on a piece of fishing line in the Mdloti River today Managed to catch it and safely remove the hook with the help of a few local residents Fortunately it wasnt terribly badly injured and managed to fly away on its own Local fishermen in the area really need to take more responsibility when disposing of their rubbish like hooks and line This kind of thing is so unnecessary and easily preventable by just being a decent human and cleaning up your messIt was incredibly distressing seeing this little creature so helpless and suffering in such agony But thankfully it will live on another day to catch plenty more fish at the river
