And they're not talking about sick pets. 21 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: They only accept healthy ones. 22 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 3: They don't have the tigers and lens to get sick too. 23 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: No, that'd be bad. For business. 24 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: As you can imagine, people are losing their minds on 25 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: social media because what kind of absolute villain would willingly 26 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: donate their cat or dog for something like that? 27 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 3: Man, I'm hoping it's like chickens no speak like lizards? Yeah, sure, yeah, 28 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 3: you'd be right. 29 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 2: Turns out cats and dogs are not a part of this. 30 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: According to the zoo's website, they only accept pet rabbits, chickens, 31 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: guinea pigs, and small horses. 32 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: I mean, at least the zoo animals know that the 33 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 3: pets were humanely raised. 34 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: That's cute. It's part of the life process. 35 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 3: It's a cycle, you guys. 36 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 2: True, and don't worry. 37 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: They say, your child's beloved bunny will be gently euthanized 38 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: before it's torn apart by a while the animal. 39 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: That's better. You want it to be alive when they 40 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: put it on your eyes. 41 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: They explained that some big cats should really be eating animals, whole, 42 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: fur and all, because it better simulates what they'd actually 43 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: eat out in the wild. 44 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 2: And it's a win win because nothing goes to waste. 45 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: Does anyone have a pet gazelle by chance? 46 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: No? Is it my upbringing that I'm totally kind of 47 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 3: on board for this. 48 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: You're wondering. Not everyone online thinks it's crazy. 49 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: A handful of people are defending the zoo, calling people 50 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: soft and naive. 51 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 2: That's right. 52 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: I mean. I will say. I was at my best 53 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: friend's house in sixth grade. We were having a great 54 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 3: spaghetti dinner and I'm like, this is delicious? 55 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: What is it? 56 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 3: And they're like, oh, we made it with Lamb. And 57 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 3: then I looked outside and their pet Lamb was no 58 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 3: longer with that. 59 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: That's not a lie, No, And you asked for a 60 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: tupperwaarful of it to take home to your family too, 61 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: So that's fine. 62 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 3: It's why they named the Lamb Lamb Chop. 63 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: I guess. Oh wow, let's keep moving. We're gonna go 64 00:02:59,320 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: to our next lake. 65 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: Story Out of Canada last week, a search and rescue 66 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: team in British Columbia was called to a remote area 67 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: out in the woods after a couple of hikers reported 68 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: hearing repeated cries.

A man who was 71 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: camping all alone was found not in distress, but people 72 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: may have thought he was because he was singing his 73 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: heart out to the trees, belting out Nickelback's greatest hits. 74 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: In fact, four rescuers entered the clearing right when he 75 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: was yelling. 76 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: And this is how you reminded me. 77 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: And the first responders.

Out of Europe. 118 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: There's a rural area in the mountains of northern Italy 119 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: where local farmers were beginning to get frustrated. And it 120 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: all started a few years back when a handful of 121 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: influencers traveled there and posted pictures and videos on their 122 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: social media.

After the influencers, then came the crowd. 128 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: First it was dozens, then hundreds, then thousands. 129 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: Oh my god. 130 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,679 Speaker 3: And I don't think that people are trying to ruin 131 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 3: the area, but they do. 132 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to see that. 133 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: So the villagers all got together and they met multiple 134 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: times trying to figure out what to do, and their 135 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: answer was turnstiles. 136 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 3: Like a human roundabout. 137 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: They figured out a lot of tourist attractions can charge 138 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: admission in parking fees, so why shouldn't they be able 139 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: to profit off their picturesque countryside. 140 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: Just for going into the town, you have to go 141 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 3: through a gate and pay a fee. 142 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: Any like scenic viewpoint, usually they'll put a turnstyle right 143 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: in front of it. It charges around six dollars to 144 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: access the instagrammable spot, and they can do it because 145 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: the land that they're passing through is technically private property. 146 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 3: So wait, what if you're a local. 147 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 2: A lot of the times, what it is. 148 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: If you've seen like there's a lot of tiktoks about this, 149 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: it's usually like somebody's dock over a nice lake and 150 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: there's just all these tourists like storming the dock on 151 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: some guy's private property.

Yeah, 156 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 3: they can make more money again, and they can't influencers 157 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 3: to come tip photos. 158 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: They're part of the problem. Now you're thinking Brook. 159 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: So of course this publicity and exclusivity is just making 160 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: influencers more interesting, especially if they can get a shot 161 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: at these turnstiles.
