50
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: saving animal hero. Jack Hannah, welcome to crime Stories. Tell

51
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: me your thoughts on animal heroes. Why do they go unsung? Well,

52
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: you know, you know, we're all in the media, and

53
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of times the media likes to

54
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: talk about negative things of the animals, when you know,

55
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: it's just news. People love animals since the beginning of time,

56
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: as I tell people, you know, I don't know what

57
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: the prehistoric wolf looked like and things like that, but

58
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: is things developed over the thousands and tens of millions

59
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: of years whatever, Then those animals became you know, probably

60
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: the food source from many many people, a k people

61
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: or whoever was alive. Then then of course those animals

62
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 1: became more word I use habituated which means used to people.

63
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at Diane fosse Uh a New

64
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: Virtue as a friend of mine, and I have a

65
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: home in Rwanda right next to Mountain girlas where soon

66
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: and I have a home there for two miles of

67
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: where the girls live. And you look back at history

68
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: where the grillers were poached. They were hunted for body

69
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: parts and for food and things like this. So as

70
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: cultures developed throughout the world, way back from who knows,

71
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: tens of thousand, millions of years ago, cultures developed. And

72
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: that's why I tell people I have a saying real

73
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: quickly such the heart to teach the mind. So when

74
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: I go into these countries all the world of film

75
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: and not just a film to talk to them about,

76
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: you know, taking care of conservation animals like the birds.

77
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: They might eat too many of them, this and that,

78
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 1: and you talk to them about their lives first, the people,

79
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: then you can help the animals. I've always learned this

80
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: over the years of forty five years of doing this.

81
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: I go in to help people first, and then in

82
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: turns helps the development of the animal world. So that's

83
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: what I do a great deal of with me is

84
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 1: the renown Jack Hannah, the director emeritus of the world

85
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: famous Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and host of Jack Hanna's

86
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: Into the Wild and Wild Countdown. Jane Valez Mitchell, I

87
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: will never forget. Oh man, I miss you so much,

88
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: Jane Mitchell, I will never forget. I think it was

89
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: youring Tod Mom, Casey Anthony. We were all down in

90
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,119
Speaker 1: Orlando and everyone was going to go out to dinner

91
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: one night and we ended up at what was that place? Anyway,

92
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: It was a steak house, and I thought that Jane

93
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: Valez Mitchell was going to jump out of her skin.

94
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: She By the time it was all over, I was

95
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: afraid to even have a bowl of spinach. So Jane

96
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: les Mitchell, why is this so important? Well, if we

97
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: love animals, don't eat them, don't wear them. My belief

98
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: system is that they're not commodities, they're not things for

99
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: us to use. Their individuals who are entitled to their

100
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: own lives, and that they have so much more in

101
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: common with us than they have separating us. The animals

102
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: that have central nervous systems, that have high's hearts, here's

103
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: anybody else. A dog knows dogs dream, so do pigs.

104
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: So we have so much in common with these animals,

105
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: and the truth is what's killing them, and by killing them,

106
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: we're killing ourselves with heart disease and cancer and many

107
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: other diseases. So there's a way now to live and honestly,

108
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: we can't sustain it, Nancy. Animal agriculture is the leading

109
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: cause of greenhouse gases, more than all transportation combined. It's

110
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: the leading cause of habitat destruction, and which makes it

111
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: a leading cause of wildlife extinction. Why because we're seven

112
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: and a half billion people on this planet, but we

113
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: kill sixty to seventy billion animals that eat a lot

114
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: of food, So we have to destroy a lot of

115
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: forests to create cropland to feed sixty to seventy billion animals.

116
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,559
Speaker 1: Many for me, a lot more than leader Jane Lais

117
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: tell me about, Jane Unchan, that's your news. Yes, thank

118
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: you for asking, Nancy. When I left hl LYNN, they

119
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: had graciously allowed me to do one animal story a week.

120
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if they knew what they were getting into,

121
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: but I was able to cover many, many stories that

122
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: normally don't get national coverage. Jane, Can I just tell

123
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: you something I would pass Jane in the Hall and

124
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: should say awesome writings. Nance, And I'm like, Jane, you

125
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: gotta stop with the plastic bags. Okay, we know they're bad.

126
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: I know they're bad. I don't think they realize that

127
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: you were getting in a lot more animal stories. And

128
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm so out of you. Jane unchained dot com. Yeah,

129
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,640

131
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: on Facebook this past year. We just added it up. Yeah,

132
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: so we're okay. I want you to take a listen,

Speaker 1: to inject insolin multiple times in the day just to

144
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: keep them alive. Without that, we pricked a finger every

145
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: two to three hours. Okay, wait a minute, Wait a minute,

146

00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: of her little friends has diabetes and she has a monitor.

157
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: It went off all during the night, and I was

158
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: so afraid I would do something wrong. I kept reading

159
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: the mom's text message instructions, and oh, I was so worried.

160
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: As it turned out, it was not, you know, hard

161
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: to do it all, but it is very you have

162
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: to do it. You have to stay on top of it.

163
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: I did it one night. You are telling me you

164
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: give your son injections throughout today just to keep him alive. Yes,

165
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: that's that's um. The thing that I think a lot

166
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: of people don't really understand about diabetes is that type

167
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: one diabetes, especially is a twenty four hour disease. Dori natal.

168
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: You are telling me you give your son injections throughout

169
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: today just to keep him alive. Yes, that's that's um.

170
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: The thing that I think a lot of people don't

171
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: really understand about diabetes is that type one diabetes especially

172
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: is a twenty four hour disease. And you I'm trying

173
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: to be a pancreas for him, and it's a very

174
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: hard thing to do. And when he was very little,

175
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: he couldn't tell me how he felt, if he felt off. Um,

176
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: So we decided to research all the technology, all the technology.

177
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: We have a monitor, we finger, but then we started

178
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: we are an animal lover family, and we dectarted waiting

179
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: a minute. Guys, go online and you got to look

180
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: at the picture of what she's talking about. There's your

181
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: beautiful baby boy. He's asleep with a curverse pulled up.

182
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: There's a diabetes monitor. There's stuff sitting on the like

183
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: a little pack folded out, a medipat. You see her

184
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: hand holding. The monitor has fifty seven on it and

185
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: right beside it. It's a dog that looks a lot

186
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: like my little fat boy, a little black dog. Looking

187
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: up at the picture. And this is on Facebook. Now

188
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: go ahead, I'm looking at the picture right now. Tell

189
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: me what happened. Well, it was a typical night before bed.

190
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: We always tested his blood sugar, We calibrate his monitors,

191
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: and then we go to sleep. I set several alarms

192
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: overnight and there's many things that can wake me up,

193
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: either the monitor, my alarm clock, or Jedi. And the

194
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: amazing thing about Jedi is he's been with us for

195
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: five years now, ever since my son three. Is he

196
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: can sense the dog? Right, Yes, Jedi is my son's dog,

197
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: and my son's name is Luke. Oh my stars, I

198
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: get it's an English last rights this dog. Okay, yeah, Jane,

199
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: you have to go online. We've posted this on crime

200
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: online dot com. You gotta say this dog, Jane, no

201
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: stealing anymore pants. Okay, back to Jedi, go ahead. Um,

202
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: So we're Star Wars family. So Luke Gloves named him Jedi,

203
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: and um, he has, as Luke calls him, magic powers.

204
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: Jedi knows when he's going to drop or go his

205
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: butcherer go high about twenty minutes before the meters um

206
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: and sometimes the meters take a long time to catch up.

207
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: But Jedi um. They're still researching the actual chemical. But

208
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: Jedi can smell the changes in Luke's body. And that

209
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: night he um was laying on my feet. And his

210
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: alert at night is to jump off the bed, jump

211
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: back on the bed until I wake up. And so

212
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: that night I was asleep, everything was fine. I had

213
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: tested his blood sugar like I do every night, and

214
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: I had an alarm set for midnight but or midnight

215
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: and three, but it was between those alarms and jet

216
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: I jumped up off the on the bed. It took

217
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: me a minute to wake up, because this is every night.

218
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: And then he laid on me and I got up,

219
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: went to the kitchen like I always do, got his

220
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: kit tested him and he was fifty seven, and which

221
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: means I immediately had to wake him up and give

222
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: him have him in Jess. Glucos fifty seven, What does

223
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: that mean? It means a white a minute, That's what

224
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: it says right there. Fifty seven. Yeah, the typical. We

225
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: all need glucose in ourselves to keep our bodies going.

226
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: It's the fuel for our bodies. And typically most people

227
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: and I run between seventy and one twenty that's how

228
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: much glucose they have in the cells. And below seventy

229
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: it starts to become dangerous. You can have a seizure,

230
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: you can go into a coma. Luke feels miserable when

231
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: he's low. It's he says, it feels like a stone

232
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: sinking into the ocean. It's the body shutting down because

233
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: it doesn't have enough glucos and almost stars. Wait, wait, wait,

234
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: let me just take this in a moment with me.

235
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: Is Dory, who you can see the photo of her

236
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: little baby, her angel in bed has Type one diabetes.

237
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: You have it for life, and it can cause a death.

238
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: Your body starts to shut down. I'm looking at this

239
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: shot of this beautiful angel and he would not be

240
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: alive today if it were not for the dog Jedi.

241
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at your post and you say I've

242
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: had already given him a glucose tab. What else could

243
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: I do? There's nothing, So in that moment, I'm waiting

244
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: for his blood sugar to come up like I've done

245
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: a thousand times, and I'll do a thousand times more.

246
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: And I feel so alone in a world that doesn't

247
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: understand what someone with type one diabetes goes through on

248
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: a daily basis. And then that moment I see beside

249
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: you as this mom is standing there looking down on

250
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: her son, wondering what's happening, and there is Jedi right

251
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: beside the bed. Yes, I mean, I am so moved

252
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: if you could see this photo. So tell me again,

253
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: what did Jedi do to make you get up? You'd

254
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: already given him, you'd already taken care of your baby.

255
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: What made the dog? How did he get you awake

256
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: to get in there? He doesn't stop, he gets he

257
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: lays on me, he'll nudge me, he'll palm me, he

258
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: will do whatever it takes to get my attention. We've

259
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: been working with him for years and he alerts multiple

260
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: times a day. So for this particular one, he was

261
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: not giving up until I woke up. And we're tired,

262
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: and so sometimes I looked at the meter and the

263
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: meter said he was okay. So I didn't immediately jump,

264
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: but when he didn't give up, I got up. And

265
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: there have been several instances where he's found he's alerted,

266
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: and Luke's been thirty or forty and I don't under

267
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: some of those would have been But I know that

268
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: Luke is healthier and happier, and he's here today because

269
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: of Jedi helping me do everything that I need to

270
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: do twenty four hours a day to keep to keep Luke,

271
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, happy and here, and Jedi is is always

272
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: there for me. It's an extra companion and extra layer

273
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: of support to help take care of Luke. And I'm

274
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: forever indebted to him. To Jack Hannah, director emeritus the

275

277
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: boy says, Jedi has superpowers, he has magical powers, how

278
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: does it happen? How do they do that? How does

279
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: a pet do that? You know, listening to what you're saying,

280
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: getting you together, what everyone is saying so far, I

281
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: real quickly if you got a second Our daughter Julie,

282
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: who lives with us at forty two years old, at

283
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: the age of two and a half, one of the

284
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: worst forms of lukmi you can imagine in the world

285
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy seven, so we rushed her down to

286
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: Saint Jude Hospital at two year old age. We were

287
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: noptural at that time, by the way, and they told

288
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: us she would not live twelve hours, so we got

289
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: her barely there and not a twelve kids learned flour.

290
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: Everyone passed away except she and a little boy now

291
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: Julie back to the animals was used for research. She

292
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: had radiation to brain along with another little boy. There

293
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: were only two that survived other twelve kids. Today, of course,

294
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: that was one building in nineteen seventy seven. Saint Jude

295
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: has thirty to day. So I'm saying that my daughter Julie,

296
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: along with the other boy, gave their lives. Julius has

297
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: had her last brain tumor two years ago. She's forty three,

298
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: lives with us. We continue to have two we think

299
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: God so far all of them have been she lives

300
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: with us. Not that they are cancerous, but she's been

301
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: just she survived it. What I'm saying to you talking

302
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: about animal the world, what you all are doing. If

303
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: you look up, there's a list, and I don't know

304
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: where it is, of how many diseases would it be measles,

305
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: chicken pox, go down to about forty of them. You'll

306
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 1: see how the animal world literally saved human beings by research.

307
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not. I'm not for inhumane. I don't

308
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: like animal research become the slamming dogs and animals and

309
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: like that against wrenshields to test cars like they used

310
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: to do. No, I'll fight that against every every day, however,

311
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: we comes to animal research for humane by the way,

312
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: I said humane, all right, when my own daughter or

313
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: the other human beings are being used. The animal world

314
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: literally has saved many of us. And one of the

315
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: hardest things for me to do is when I have

316
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: in the last twenty years, I guess if you call it,

317
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't easy the word celebrity, by the way,

318
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: I never have. I'm an animal ambassador, and I don't

319
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: like the word celebrity. But when people come to me

320
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: and a little child, for example, of last year was

321
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: nine years old. I think it's from Indiana. Her sister

322
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: she came. She had maybe her. They told us on

323
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: the phone that they called the last wish, especially wh

324
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: the last wishes. Or you go in my office, you'll

325
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: see the pictures of these young people who didn't make in.

326
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: Their last wish was to see an animal. And you

327
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: won't believe this. They came there last year. You could

328
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: see that she was had because I've been through all

329
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: this stuff which she has no hair, and all the

330
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: treatments with drugs and every everything, and she hadn't smiled.

331
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, I put a little penguin

332
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: right there in her lap, and sure enough she smiled

333
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: one of the first times. It's amazing what animals will do.

334
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: Then I asked the father, I really wipe her hands off.

335
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: I have a little sloth I want her to touch.

336
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: And it was born there Darzo and Plumbus, and he said, no, Jack,

337
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: her hands to be washed very shortly, and he pointed

338
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: to heaven. You don't think that myself and father us

339
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: there didn't lose it, you know. And what you're talking

340
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: about the same kind of thing. Animals, for some reason

341
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: they have they have a way with him. When I've

342
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: seen these children there, pictures on my walls, and Linda

343
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: did not make it, but they had their last thing.

344
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: And I go to the should's hospitals, even with some

345
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: of the animals. You see these children and how they

346
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: just come out of that pain. And I wish I

347
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: could explain it, you know, Like I said, I have

348
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: a saying I live by it. You have touched the

349
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: heart to teach the mind, and these kids are really

350
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: touching my heart more than I am theirs, And I

351
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: just you know, I don't if that's what. I can

352
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: answer you a question again if you want me to,

353
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: But I'm just telling you what I have to look at.

354
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: I don't have to do it at all. But it's

355
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: something that really shows me in life what the animal

356
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: world means to all of us. Hi, Nancy Grace here?

374
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: have this unbelievable cats too, sense of smell. Humans have

375
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: about five million scent receptors. Dogs have up to three million,

376
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: depending on the breed, and it's been proven that they

377
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: can sniff out chemical change and detect all types of

378
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: illnesses in humans, including epileptic seizures, certain types of cancer,

379
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: diabetes changes, and a theory is at our present day

380
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: dog ancestors gray wolf pack survival dependent on the ability

381
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: to know which member of the pack was sick. Jane Vlez,

382
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: you have reported on so many pet heroes way in Yes, Well,

383
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: first of all, you should pay attention to your dog

384
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: in your home. There is a great story out of

385
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: North Carolina about a dog, a Labrador, who would get

386
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: very agitated when the family's babysitter was around and would

387
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: try to place himself between the seven months old boy

388
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: and the babysitter and growl, and the parents noted the

389
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: dog's haired stand up. So they saw this happening so

390
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: often they decided to put a recording device in the

391
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: home when they left, and they found out that this

392
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: babysitter was abusing their child, slapping the child and insulting

393
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: the child. And because they were alerted by the dog,

394
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: they ultimately had this woman arrested. So when you're a parent,

395
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: or you're just a person, pay attention to your dogs.

396
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: If you want to know what it's like to be

397
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: an animal, take a vow of silence for a couple

398
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: of hours and see what mechanisms you're going to use

399
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: to communicate. You're going to find yourself tapping and doing

400
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: a lot of the same maneuvers that dogs can because

401
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: they can't speak English, but they can communicate. And you

402
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: know what I say is it's not just dogs. We

403
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: have this odd thing in our culture where some animals, Oh,

404
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: we love them, we adore them, we deify them. Others

405
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: they're not entitled to any respect and we consider them commodities.

406
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: Let me just tell you that there's tremendous, tremendous intelligence

407
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: in pigs. In fact, Lulu, a housebroken pot belly pig,

408
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: saved her human companions of life. The woman was on

409
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: vacation Joanne in Pennsylvania. She collapsed in a heart attack.

410
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: The pot bellied pig ran out of the mobile home

411
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 1: where they were staying, crashed through the gates. When a

412
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: car was coming, the pig would lie down on the road.

413
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: Several cars just veered around the dog. Lulu kept running

414
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: back and checking on her human companion. Finally she ran

415
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: out threw herself on the ground again. A motorcycle stopped

416
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: followed Lulu back to the mobile home, and that's where

417
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: he encountered Lulu's mom lying there having had a heart attack,

418
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: and they called nine one one. So pigs are extremely

419
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: intelligent animals. They are smarter than dogs, and they have

420
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: the intelligence of very young human children. So as we

421
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: expand our circle of compassion beyond the boundaries of our species,

422
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: let's not just stop at dogs and cats. Let's consider

423
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: all animals, because guess what, we're all animals, including us.

424
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: You know, Jane VLEs Mitchell, have I told you today?

425
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: I just love you. I loved you from the very

426
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: first moment that you filled in for me as a

427
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: guest host on CNN Zheln And that was just it.

428
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: And to hear you speak and tell your stories. I

429
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: just want the world to love you as much as

430
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: I love you. I just can't imagine that I've got

431
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: Jack Hannah and Jane Vills Mitchell on at the same time.

432
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: You know, I've got another lady with me, and I

433
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: want you guys to hear her incredible story. And again

434
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: I'm looking at a picture of her, and I've just

435
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: got to tell you it just really makes me cry.

436
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: It's a this lovely blond lady and she's wearing tights

437
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: black tight in a blue tshirt, and she's looking down

438
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: at a little boy. He looks like he's reading a

439
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: iPad and he's got his head resting on a big

440
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: dog like he's a pillow with me right now. And

441
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: let me just go ahead and destroy your name. I

442
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: think I'm saying correctly, shawna knee House. No, yes, oh

443
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: my goodness, Alan, let me just rub it in that

444
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: I pronounced it right the first time. I'm like some

445
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: people you that I won't mention Shanna. I'm looking at

446
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: this little boy and I'm guessing this is your little boy.

447
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: You're five year old? Yes, what happened? So the day

448
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: this picture was taken? Was the day that we met Tornado,

449
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: my son's service dog. That was the first day of

450
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,479
Speaker 1: our training class. You know, we live in Japan right

451
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: now where Americans, but we live in Japan, and we

452
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: had been fundraising for quite a long time to cover

453
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: the costs of training for Tornado and then also for

454
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: our family, our family of five traveling from Japan to

455
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: Ohio to the organization that trained Tornado for Kai. And

456
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: there there's there's some why does Kai need a service dog? So?

457
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: Kai is autistic. UM. We when he when he was younger,

458
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: we noticed that there are some elements to uh, having

459
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: an autistic child that can be really challenging. And as

460
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: a parent, it's your responsibility to um, you know, help

461
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: them live their most fulfilling life, give them the most

462
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: access to the world, support them and love them in

463
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: the best ways that you can. And Kai is a

464
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: dog person. I'm a dog person, UM. And he's always

465
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: where he would find troubles socially with people or find

466
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: challenges with people, those those social interactions didn't come really

467
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: naturally to him. But he did always gravitate to dogs.

468
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: So my husband and I debated getting him a pet dog,

469
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: but we thought, well, if we're going to get him

470
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: a dog. Let's let's get him, you know, something, something

471
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: proper that can be with him. If this is who

472
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: he might make a connection to, let's go for it.

473
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: So we we decided to fundraise and have a Tornado

474
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 1: raised for Kaium. So this the day of the pictures

475
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: that you see is the first day that they met.

476
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: Towards the end of the day, after we had traveled

477
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: across the entire globe through the Continental US to get

478
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: over to Ohio, we met Tornado for the first time.

479
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: Kai was really overwhelmed. He I think we were all overwhelmed,

480
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: along with other families who were other recipient families who

481
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: had received their dogs that day and Kai my husband

482
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: had to take Kai back to where we were staying

483
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: and give him a break and kind of bring him,

484
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, in and out, you know, as he could

485
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: manage himself. And then this was sort of at the

486
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: end of the day, shortly before we were leaving, and

487
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, Kai came out of the children's playroom,

488
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: grabbed his iPad and then just came in late on

489
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: Tornado and sorry, I'm getting emotional. So that moment where

490
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: you see me kind of crying is actually was really

491
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: like like an ugly cry. Was sort of the moment

492
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: that two years of hope went into that moment. You know,

493
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: we we signed on to fundraise, we signed on to travel,

494
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: we signed on for all of this hope that Kai

495
00:29:55,280 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: might connect with his service dog, and that his service dog,

496
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: Tornado would help be that bridge from Kai to bring

497
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: those connections to the rest of the world, to help

498
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: give him access to the rest of the world, to

499
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: help give my husband and I piece of mind when

500
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: when you know, we live in Tokyo and it's exceptionally

501
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: busy here, and the people, the crowds are out of

502
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: this world, and that's overwhelming for anybody, let alone you know,

503
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: a child with sensory processing difference, he's already an American

504
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: kid in Tokyo and he is autistic. To add onto it.

505
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this photo and you say it was

506
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: worth every fight, every diagnosis, every dollar, every paper filled out,

507
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 1: every school meeting, every tier. I should every step forward,

508
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: every step back to see what you're seeing right then,

509
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: and it's you say, the face of a mother who

510
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: sees her child who she cannot hug whilst dressed, snuggling

511
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: touch freely because of his autism, now laying on his

512
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: service dog of your child's own free will. Listen to

513
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: this story, guys. This woman, Dane Boucher, was woken up

514
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: from a deep sleep at four thirty in the morning

515
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: by Oreo, her cat. The cat wouldn't stop screaming, would

516
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: not stop screaming. She ran out to check on the cat.

517
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: And you know that sound when you hear your cat

518
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: or dog make a crazy, high pitched screamy sound. She

519
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: ran out and what she found were flames. And if

520
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: it had not been for her cat waking her up,

521
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: you know she would be dead and her home destroyed.

522
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: There are stories like David CC, fourteen years old, couldn't swim,

523
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: fell out of his dad's boat, and within minutes a

524
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: dolphin called Philippo had come to the tourist attraction and

525
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: saved the boy's life, pushing him up out of the

526
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: water to safety. I mean a dog. Brenda Owen gone

527
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: out for a walk with her dog. She spotted a

528
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: wheelchair on a river bank, sees a woman in the water.

529
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: She called out, the woman didn't answer. She said to

530
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: the dog, fetch The dog jumps straight in that cold

531
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: river water and pulled the woman to shore. I mean

532
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: it goes on a two year old child in Texas

533
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: walking with his grandmother when Arf, the family's dog, got

534
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: very agitated so badly the dog thought. I mean, the

535
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: grandmother thought, I better take the child inside. The dog's

536
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: going crazy. The child's mother came out to find Arf

537
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: in a fight with a twenty four inch North American

538
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: coral snake, and Jack hannay, you can tell us about

539
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: coral snakes. Go ahead, so, yeah, well, is a snake

540
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: obviously that can be fatal. It's not a matter of

541
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: a like a rattlesnake. You know, people say about rattlesnakes

542
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: all the time with a good Lord made a rattlesnake

543
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: because snake will rattle. See you don't step on it.

544
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: And people say, oh my god, it's a rattlesnake. Well,

545
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: being very happy, it's a rattlesnake. Col snake looks like

546
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: some other kinds of steak, king snake, things like that.

547
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: But that's a newer toxic and he must thought he

548
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: mut toxic because you know, as a rattlesnake, those kinds

549
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: of snakes where it's just a very painful bite and

550
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: also just rots. But when you come to col snake,

551
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: which is pretty rare. The animal has to basically chew.

552
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: He doesn't have the things, and that goes. That's not

553
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: he it's newer toxic when you means he goes to

554
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: the brain and you go to sleep basically, and I'm

555
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: sorry to say, you might just sleep forever forever. So

556
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: people get mixed up on snakes. I've filmed snakes all

557
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: over the world. My people always ask me the question,

558
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Jack, have you been betten? You know,

559
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: I don't like that question because there's Jane will agree

560
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: if I'm betting or something my animal usually usually most

561
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: of the time, it's my fault. It's not the animal's

562
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: fault when we fail them out there. For thirty years

563
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: I made it clear as thirty years ago you respect.

564
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: It's called respect for your animal. At home, it's respect

565
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: for the elephants, the lion. Some film crews love to

566
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 1: go in there and push it to where the dawn

567
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: gum thing attacks the jeep and throws it over and

568
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: some guys getting bitten. You know. The reality TV I'm

569
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: not a big fan of it because it doesn't teach

570
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: the young people how to go to Africa. Or India

571
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: or the North Polet Health Pole. Wherever I go, we

572
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: we filmed with respect. Okay, maybe you don't get the

573
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: best film of something attacking and blood flying every which way.

574
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: That's their home, not my home. And we always feel

575
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: with respect to these animals, and we've always done it.

576
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 1: And the god our crew has been together for twenty

577
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: three years and we all work as a team as

578
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: a family, and we look at those wild animals. Your

579
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: animal at home. You know, you respect your animal home.

580
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: You don't sit down and take a dog. And my

581
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: dad taught me that you put food there. And he's saying,

582
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you have a two year

583
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: old or somebody visit you and they go and grab

584
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: the food out of the dog bowl. Jane will tell

585
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: you that could be a fatal bite, a fatal bite,

586
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: that could be a channel bite. So kids have to

587
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,479
Speaker 1: learn about animals. And I know I'm up and around

588
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: a lot. My dad used tell me on the farm,

589
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: I have AT and T or a D T A D.

590
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell heck I have my

591
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: d W. I can't remember it, AD A T and T,

592
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: I okay, whatever it is. Anyway, I jump around a lot,

593
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: But I just am trying to explain things about animals.

594
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: And you know, some dogs are never even met in anybody.

595
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: But you can't go up to dogs to grab the

596
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: food of a pot. You know. I learned all these

597
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: things on the farm and how to respect the animal world,

598
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: and that's what I try to do when I film

599
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: and when I talk about the animals, you know, to

600
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: the club Zoo Logical Park. I think Jane knows ninety

601
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: eight percent of our animals today, ninety eight percent come

602
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: from other zoos. I can go collect if I need

603
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: a sperm or an egg or something like that, because

604
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: I think we really are the arts of the world.

605
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: We weren't that. We were not that, by the way,

606
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: twenty thirty years ago, but today millions tens of millions

607
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: of dollars are spent on make sure these animals have habitats.

608
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: There's some of the best in the world. You know,

609
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: if you can't touch the heart to teach some mind

610
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: of these people about your dogs or cats or some

611
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: of these animals, and none of them. When I do

612
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: my speeches to two hundred thousand people these theaters ask

613
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: the audience, how many have you ever seen a elephant

614
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: in Africa. No hands, how many you have ever seen

615
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: a killer? Well, no hands, how many have you seen?

616
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: I could go through a list of five thousand animals

617
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: and usually sometimes I'll say a dolphin. You'll get some

618
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: hands up. So what I'm trying to say is in

619
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 1: the zoological world, in the aquarium world, having these animals

620
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: now that we know how to breed them and have

621
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 1: them and have the proper habitats, and then I'll agree

622
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: with people way back when they weren't good habitats. But

623
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: nowaday we do that because we have to let people

624
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: see for themselves why they wouldn't want to love an

625
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: animal to save an animal. You can't love something you

626
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 1: can't save something in the world that my wife hates

627
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: this term, but I'll say it real quick. I have

628
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: kids and grandkids. But I'll tell you one thing is

629
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: I travel the world. The main thing we have. Everybody,

630
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: you can do global warming, say everything you want to.

631
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: It's called over population. I think Jane knows it is

632
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: probably overpopulation takes animals room. It's that simple and it's

633
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: not rocket science. Everybody, we can sit here and debate

634
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: on global warming. Debate all you want to, water and

635
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: all this stuff. The Good Lord put the earth here.

636
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 1: He told us to do with what propetor prey relationship

637
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: on our earth. Obviously with sony people, it's been screwed up.

638
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: So that's why we have to sit here and at

639
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: least teach people something about other animals throughout the world,

640
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: you know, and that kind of thing, and hopefully people

641
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: learn from their dogs and cats. Without the animal world,

642
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: none of us would be here in many different ways.

643
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: But the animal world taught me a lot. By the way,

644
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: when I go out there and study the gorillas or

645
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: watched them for over all these years, and the lions

646
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: of which are you know, a real social animal, not

647
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: like the solitary catch most on the spot where you

648
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: see the snakes, for example. You know, these are all

649
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: creatures on earth, and if you go out and learn

650
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: about him and see them, then you respect them. With

651
