Our feel-good story of the day is one of animal rescue. Four men in the small town of Seal Cove, Newfoundland recently freed three dolphins trapped by ice after hearing their cries for nearly a week.
Residents contacted the local department of fisheries and oceans to alert them of the dolphins, who had become victims of drift ice and were running out of time. After receiving no response, members of the community took it upon themselves to help the poor dolphins.
Four men maneuvered their 16-foot boat up on the dangerous broken ice, hopped out and began chipping away at the ice with hatchets to clear a route to the open sea.
- “You’d hear them crying, every night,” said one of the men in the boat, Rodney Rice, 39. “I went down there last night and you could hear them trying to break up more ice. . . . They wouldn’t have lasted another day.”
“I had a floater suit on,” said Banks, “And they would come up and rest their head on me and I would keep their head out of the water so they can breathe through their blowhole.”
These men deserve an award! Risking their own safety to save the lives of a pod of dolphins. Kudos.
