A baby harbour seal was rescued from a life-threatening gillnet that was wrapped around her neck in West Vancouver. The seal was spotted by a passerby, prompting a call to the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Society, which gave her the fitting name “Annette.”According to Lindsay Akhurst, the society’s senior manager, the net had likely been around her neck for three or four weeks. “For the first few days, we had to slightly encourage her to get some nutrition into her body,” Akhurst said. “But now she’s in a pool and eating fish all by herself.”The rescue society says Annette’s story is nowhere near a one-off; the group responds to hundreds of marine mammal emergencies each year. “It was very lucky the members of the public called us, and we were able to get there really quickly.
