Gisele Bündchen releases a net turtle and releases it into the sea: ‘thanks for helping’

Model Gisele Bündchen, 41, shared a love story for animals on her Instagram this Saturday (4). The environmental activist was walking her dog on the beach when she spotted a turtle in a rubbish heap with a hammock tangled up in it.

Gisele released the animal and took it back to the sea. She posted a video on her social network showing the moment of the rescue and explained what happened to her followers.

“Life is a series of opportunities that appear daily, and we choose what to do with them. Today was no different. Early in the morning, I was walking on the beach, and my dog ​​started barking at a pile of rubbish in the sand that came with high tide. When I got closer, I saw the turtle upside down with a look of despair and tiredness in his eyes, his body tied and tangled in a fishing net,” Gisele begins.

“I immediately started to free her from the net that was strangling her, but even after untying her, I found she was too tired to go back to the ocean. So I picked her up and carried her into the water. Amazing how adrenaline can make us stronger ! I was very happy to see her free swimming away. I was very grateful to be there to help her, but there are so many other animals that unfortunately end up dying in nets like this one,” explained the model.

“We can become more aware of our ways as a species and help protect animals, it’s a choice. I pray that we can all become aware and remember that the opportunity to change starts with a single act,” concluded Gisele.

Several famous people commented on the Brazilian’s post, several of them with heart-shaped reactions. Among the personalities who praised the model’s posture are Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, 36, model Gigi Hadid, 26, Yasmin Brunet Medina, 33, in addition to the model’s husband, American football player Tom Brady, 44.
