Vociferously protesting adolescent seal (with subtitles)

An adorable adolescent seal, complaining about the cold cold water, with very entertaining subtitles.

Warning #1: After watching this a couple of times, I noticed that my cat makes similar noises (not about ice cold water, though!) and I was spontaneously seeing subtitles for his vocalizations. Also when I'm washing my hands in cold tap water in winter, I make sounds like that too. Mammals unite!

Here's the unsubtitled original video, which goes on a bit longer, thus better justifying the video's title.

And here's the original page, which explains more about what the young seal was complaining about.

Warning #2: The video was less funny after I read that.

/not really approving but how could I use any other icon?

Yet again, we learn that "cute animals on YT" often have a depressing back story.

Which twists the knife on the disconnection between art and reality.

Yeah, context changes it a lot. I still appreciated your link to it though!
