Well, you know, you know, 29 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: we're all in the media, and you know, a lot 30 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: of times the the media likes to talk about negative 31 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: things of the animals, when you know it's just news. 32 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: People love animals since the beginning of time. Uh As 33 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: I tell people, you know, I don't know what the 34 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: prehistoric wolf look like and things like that, but is 35 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: things developed over the thousands, tens of millions of years whatever. 36 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: Then those animals became, you know, probably the food source 37 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: for many many people of cave people whoever was alive. 38 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: Then then of course those animals became uh more. The 39 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: word I use habituated, which means used to people. I mean, 40 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 1: you look at Diane Fosse, uh a new virtues of 41 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: a friend of mine, and I have a home in 42 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: Rwanda right next to Mountain Gulas where soon and I 43 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: have a home there two miles from the grillers live. 44 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: And you look back at history where the grillers were poached, 45 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: they were hunted for body parts and for food and 46 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: things like this. Um so as as cultures developed throughout 47 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: the world, way back from who knows, tens of thousand 48 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: millions of years ago, cultures developed. And that's what I 49 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: tell people. I have a saying real quickly touched the 50 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: heart to teach the mind. So when when I go 51 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: in too these countries all over the world, the film 52 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: and not just a film to talk to them about, 53 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: you know, taking care of conservation animals like the birds. 54 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: They might eat too many of other this and that, 55 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: and you talk to them about their lives. First the 56 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: people and then you can help the animals. I've always 57 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: learned this over the years of forty five years of 58 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: doing this. Did I go in to help people first 59 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: and then in turns helps the development of the animal world. 60 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: So that's what I do a great deal of. With 61 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: me is the renowned Jack Hannah, the director emeritus of 62 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: the world famous Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, and host of 63 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: Jack Canna's Into the Wild and Wild Countdown. Jane villa 64 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: As Mitchell, I will never forget. Oh man, I miss 65 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: you so much, Jles Mitchell, I will never forget. I 66 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: think it was youring top mom, Casey Anthony. We were 67 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: all down in Orlando and everyone was going to go 68 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: out to dinner one night and we ended up at 69 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: what was that place? Anyway, It was a steakhouse, and 70 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: I thought that Jane the Les Mitchell was going to 71 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: jump out of her skin. She by the time it 72 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: was all over, I was afraid to even have a 73 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: bowl of spinach. So, Jane les Mitchell, why is this 74 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: so important to you? If we love animals, don't eat them, 75 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: don't wear them. My belief system is that they're not commodities, 76 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: They're not things for us to use. Their individuals who 77 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: were entitled to their own lives, and that they have 78 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: so much more in common with us than they have 79 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: separating us. The animals that have central nervous systems, that 80 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: have high hearts. Here's anybody as a dog knows dog's dream, 81 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 1: so do pigs. So we have so much in common 82 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: with these animals, And the truth is what's killing them 83 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: and by killing them were killing ourselves with heart disease 84 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: and cancer and many other diseases. So there's a way 85 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: now to live, and honestly, we can't sustain it, Nancy. 86 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: Animal agriculture is the leading cause of greenhouse gases, more 87 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: than all transportation combined. It's the leading cause of habitat destruction, 88 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: which makes it a leading cause of wildlife extinction. Why 89 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: because we're seven and a half billion people on this planet, 90 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: but we kill sixty to seventy billion animals that eat 91 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: a lot of food, So we have to destroy a 92 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: lot of forest to create crop land to feed sixty 93 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: to seventy billion animals. Many for me, a lot more 94 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: than leaders Janelas tell me about. Jane, Yes, thank you 95 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: for asking Nancy. When I left HL lynn Um, they 96 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: had graciously allowed me to do one animal story a week. 97 00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if they knew what they were getting into, 98 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: but I was able to cover many, many stories that 99 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: normally don't get national coverage. Jane, Can I just tell 100 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: you something? I would pass Jane in the hall and 101 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: should say awesome writings, Nance, And I'm like, Jane, you 102 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: gotta stop with the plastic bags. Okay, we know they're bad. 103 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: I know they're bad. I don't think they realize that 104 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: you're getting in a lot more animal stories. And I'm 105 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: so proud of you.

Okay, Jane, 172 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: you have to go online. We're we're we've posted this 173 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: on crime online dot com. You gotta say this dog, Jane, 174 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: no stealing anymore pants. Okay, back to Jedi, go ahead. Um. 175 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: So we're Star Wars family. So Luke loves named him Jedi, 176 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: and um he has is. Luke calls him magic powers. 177 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: Jedi knows when he's going to drop or go his 178 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: blower to go high about twenty minutes before the meters 179 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: um and sometimes the meters take a long time to 180 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: catch up. But Jedi um they're still researching the actual chemical. 181 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: But Jedi can smell the changes in Luke's body. And 182 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: that night he um was laying on my feet and 183 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: his alert at night is to jump off the bed, 184 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: jumped back on the bed until I wake up. And 185 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: so that night I was asleep. Everything was fine. I 186 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: had tested his blood sugar like I do every night, 187 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: and I had an alarm set for midnight, but or 188 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: midnight and three, but it was between those alarms, and 189 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: yet I jumped up off the on the bed. It 190 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: took me a minute to wake up, because this is 191 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: every night. And then he laid on me, and I 192 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: got up, went to the kitchen like I always do, 193 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: got his kit tested him and he was fifty seven 194 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: and UM, which means I immediately had to wake him 195 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: up and give him have him in Jess. Glucos What 196 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: does that mean? It means, That's what it says right there. Yeah, 197 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: the typical we all need glucose in ourselves to keep 198 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: our bodies going. It's the fuel for our bodies. And 199 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: typically most people run between seventy and one twenty that's 200 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: how much glucose they have in the cells. And below 201 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: seventy it starts to become dangerous. Um, you can have 202 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: a seizure, you can go into a coma. UM. Luke 203 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: feels miserable when he's low. It's he says, it feels 204 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: like a stone sinking into the ocean. Um, it's the 205 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: body shutting down because it doesn't have enough glucos and stars. Wait, wait, wait, 206 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: let me just take this in a moment with me. 207 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: Is Dory, who you can see the photo of her 208 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: little baby, Her angel in bed has type one diabetes. 209 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: You have it for life, and it can cause death. 210 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: Your body starts to shut down. I'm looking at this 211 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: shot of this beautiful angel and he would not be 212 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: alive today if it were not for the dog Jedi. 213 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,599 Speaker 1: And I'm looking at your post and you say that 214 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: already given him a glucose tab. What else could I do? 215 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: There's nothing, So in that moment, I'm waiting for his 216 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: leves sugar to come up, like I've done a thousand times, 217 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: and I'll do a thousand times more. And I feel 218 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: so alone in a world that doesn't understand what someone 219 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: with type one diabetes goes through on a daily basis. 220 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: And then that moment I see beside you as this 221 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: mom is standing there looking down on her son, wondering 222 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: what's happening, and there is Jedi right beside the bed. Yes, 223 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: I mean, I am so moved. If you could see 224 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: this photo, So tell me again, what did Jedi do 225 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 1: to make you get up? You'd already given him is 226 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: you'd already taken care of your baby. What made the dog? 227 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: How did he get you awake to get in there? Um? 228 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: He doesn't stop. He gets, he lays on me, he'll 229 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: nudge me, he'll palm me. Um, he will do whatever 230 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: it takes to get my attention. We've been working with 231 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,359 Speaker 1: him for years and he alerts multiple times a day. 232 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: So for this particular one, he was not giving up 233 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: until I woke up. And you know, we're tired, and 234 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: so sometimes I looked at the meter and I the 235 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: meter said he was okay. So I didn't immediately jump, 236 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: but when he didn't give up, I got up and Um. 237 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: There have been several instances where he's found, he's alerted, 238 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: and Luke's been thirty or forty, and I don't some 239 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: of those would have been. Um, but I know that 240 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: Luke is healthier and happier, and he's here today because 241 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: of Jedi helping me do everything that I need to 242 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: do twenty four hours a day to keep to keep Luke, 243 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: you know, happy and here, and Um, Jedi is is 244 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: always there for me. Um. It's an extra companion and 245 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: extra layer of support to help take care of Luke. 246 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: And I'm forever indebted to him. To Jack Hannah, director 247 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: emeritus of the world famous Columbus Zoo and host of 248 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: Jack Hannah's To the Wild and the Wild Countdown. Jack 249 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: when a baby boy says, Jedi has superpowers, he has 250 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: magical powers? How how does it happen? How do they 251 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: do that? How does a pet do that? You know? 252 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: And listening to what you're saying, getting you together what 253 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: everyone is saying so far real quickly to be got 254 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: a second our daughter, Julie, who lives with us. It's 255 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: forty two years old. At the age of two and 256 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: a half, when the worst forms of the team you 257 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: can imagine in the world in nineteen seventy seven. So 258 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: he rushed her uh down to St. Jude Hospital, that 259 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: two year old age. We're noxural at that time, by 260 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: the way, and they told her she would not live 261 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: twelve hours. So we got her barely there and not 262 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: a twelve kids are floor. Everyone passed away except she 263 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: and a little boy. Now Julie back to the animals 264 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: was used for research. She had radiation to brain along 265 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: with another boy. There's only two that survived on the 266 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: twelve kids today. Of course, that was one building in 267 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: seven Jude has thirty to day. So I'm saying that 268 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: my daughter Julie allowed with the other boy, gave their lives. 269 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: Julius has had her last brain tumor two years ago. 270 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: She's forty three, lives with us. We continue to have tumors, 271 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: but thank god, so far all of them have been 272 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: she lives with us. Not that uh there cancerous, but 273 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: she's been just she survived. What I'm saying to you 274 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: talking about animal world, what you are doing. If you 275 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: look up, there's a list and I don't know where 276 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: it is, of how many diseases would it be measles, 277 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: chicken pox, go down, tore about forty of them. You'll 278 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: see how the animal world literally saved human beings by research. 279 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not. I'm not for inhumane. I don't 280 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: like animal research become the slamming dogs and animals and 281 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: like that against rainshields to test test cars like they 282 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: used to do. You. No, I'll fight that against every 283 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: every day. However, when it comes to animal research for 284 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: humane by the way, I said humane, all right, when 285 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: my own daughter or the other human beings are being used, 286 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: the animal world literally has saved many of us and 287 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: one of the hardest things for me to do. It's 288 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: what I have in the last twenty years. I guess 289 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: if you call it, I'm not. I don't easy word celebrity. 290 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: By the way, I never have. I'm an animal ambassador 291 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: and I don't like the word celebrity. But when will 292 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: come to me and a little child, for example of 293 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: last year was nine years old, I think it from Indianna, 294 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: her sister. She came. She had maybe her. They told 295 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: us on the phone that they called the last wish, 296 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: especially wish the last wishes. Or you go in my office, 297 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: you'll see the pictures of these young people who didn't 298 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: make it. Their last wish was to see an animal. 299 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: And you won't believe this. They came there. Um last year. 300 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: You could see that she was had because I'm been 301 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: through all this stuff which she has no hair, and 302 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: all the treatments with drugs and everything everything, and she 303 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: hadn't smiled. All of a sudden, I put a little 304 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: penguin right there in her lap, and sure enough she 305 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: smiled for one of the first times. It's amazing what 306 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: animals will do. Then I asked the father, I mean, 307 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: you wipe her hands off? Have a little slot I 308 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: wanted to touch, and it was born there Darzi and Plumbus, 309 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: and he said, no, Jack, her hands to be washed 310 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: very shortly, and he pointed to heaven. You don't think 311 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: that myself and father us there didn't lose it, you know. 312 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: And what you're talking about the same kind of thing. 313 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: Animals for some reason they have they have a way 314 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: with him. When I've seen these children their pictures on 315 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: my walls and went to not make it um, but 316 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: they had their last thing. And I go to the 317 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: show's hospitals, even with some of the animals. You see 318 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: these children and how they just come out of that pain. 319 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: And I wish I could explain, you know, Like I said, 320 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: I have a saying I live by it. You have 321 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: touched the heart to teach the mind, and these kids 322 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: are really touching my heart more than I am theirs, 323 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: and I just you know, I don't That's what I 324 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: can answer you a question again if you want me to. 325 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: But I'm just telling you what I have to look at. 326 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: I don't have to do it at all. But it's 327 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: something that really shows me in life what the animal 328 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: world means to to all of us. You know, there 329 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: were no words more beautiful the way you said, Jack, Hannah. 330 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: And I know you don't want to be thought of 331 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: as celebrity. And that's the truth about Jack. He's a 332 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: world famous celebrity. Everybody knows Jack Hanna.

Speaking of the superpowers of animals, 374 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: dogs have this unbelievable cats too, sense of smell. Humans 375 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: have about five million cent receptors. Dogs have up to 376 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: three million, depending on the breed, and it's been proven 377 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: that they can sniff out chemical change and detect all 378 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: types of illnesses and humans, including epileptic seizures, certain types 379 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: of cancer, diabetes changes, and a theory is that our 380 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: present day dog ancestors Gray wolf pack survival depended on 381 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: the ability to know which member of the pack was 382 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: sick uh Jablin, as you have reported on so many 383 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: pet heroes way in Yes, Well, first of all, you 384 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: should pay attention to your dog in your home. There's 385 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: a great story out of North Carolina about a dog, 386 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: a Labrador, who would get very agitated when the families 387 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: babysitter was around and would try to place himself between 388 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: the seven months old boy and the babysitter and growl 389 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: and the parents noted the dog's haired stand up. So 390 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: they saw this happening so often they decided to put 391 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: a recording device in the home when they left, and 392 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: they found out that this babysitter was abusing their child, 393 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: slapping the child and insulting the child. And because be 394 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: they were alerted by the dog, they ultimately had this 395 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: woman arrested. So when you're a parent or you're just 396 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: a person, pay attention to your dogs. If you want 397 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: to know what it's like to be an animal, take 398 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: a vow of silence for a couple of hours and 399 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: see what mechanisms you're going to use to communicate. You're 400 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: going to find herself tapping and doing a lot of 401 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: the same maneuvers that dogs can because they can't speak English, 402 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: but they can communicate. And um, you know what I 403 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: say is it's not just dogs. We have this odd 404 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: thing in our culture where some animals, Oh, we love them, 405 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: we adore them, we deify them. Others they're not entitled 406 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 1: to any respect and we consider them commodities. Let me 407 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: just tell you that there's um tremendous, tremendous intelligence and pigs. 408 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: In fact, Lulu, a housebroken pot belly pig, saved her 409 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: human companions of life. Um. The woman was on vacation 410 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: Joanne in Pennsylvania. She collapsed in a heart attack. The 411 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: pot bellied pig ran out of the mobile home where 412 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: they were staying, crashed through the gates. When a car 413 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: was coming, the pig would lie down on the road. 414 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: Several cars just veered around the dog. Lulu kept running 415 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: back and checking on her human companion. Finally she ran 416 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: out threw herself on the ground again. A motorcycle stopped 417 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: followed Lulu back to the mobile home, and that's where 418 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: he encountered Uh Lulu's mom Uh lying there having had 419 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: a heart attack, and they called mine one one. So 420 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: pigs are extremely intelligent animals. They are smarter than dogs, 421 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: and they have the intelligence of very young human children. 422 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: So as we expand our circle of compassion beyond the 423 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: boundaries of our own species, let's not just stop it 424 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: dogs and cats. Let's consider all animals, because guess what, 425 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 1: we're all animals, including us. You know, Jane Villis Mitchell, 426 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: have I told you today? I just love you. I 427 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:40,479 Speaker 1: loved you from the very first moment that you filled 428 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: in for me as a guest host on CNN chill 429 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: in and that was just it. And to hear you 430 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: speak and tell your stories. I just want the world 431 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: to love you as much as I love you. I 432 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: just can't imagine that I've got Jack Hannah and Jane 433 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: Villis Mitchell on at the same time. You know, I've 434 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: got another lady with me, and I want you guys 435 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: to hear her incredible story. And again I'm looking at 436 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: a picture of her, and I've just got to tell 437 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: you it just really makes me cry. It's a this 438 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 1: lovely blond lady and she's wearing tights, black tights and 439 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: a blue tshirt, and she's looking down at a little boy. 440 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: He looks like he's reading a iPad and he's got 441 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: his head resting on a big dog like he's a 442 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: pillow with me right now, And let me just go 443 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: ahead and destroy your name. I think I'm saying correctly, 444 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: Shawna House. No, my goodness, Alan, let me just rub 445 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: it in that I pronounced it right the first time. 446 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: I'm like some people you that I won't mention Shawna. 447 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: I'm looking at this little boy and I'm guessing this 448 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: is your little boy. You're five year old? Yes, what happened? 449 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 1: So the day this picture was taken was the day 450 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: that we met Tornado, my son's service dog. That was 451 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: the first day of our training class. UM. You know, 452 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: we live in Japan right now. UM we're Americans, but 453 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: we live in Japan. And we had been fundraising for 454 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,959 Speaker 1: UM quite a long time to cover the costs of 455 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: training for a Tornado and then also for our family, 456 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: our family of five traveling from Japan to Ohio to 457 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: the organization that trained Tornado for Kai. And there there's 458 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: there's some why does Kai need a service dog? So? 459 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: Kai is autistic. UM. We when he when he was younger, 460 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: we noticed that there are some elements to UH having 461 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: an autistic child that can be really challenging. UH. And 462 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: as a parent, it's your responsibility to UM, you know, 463 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: help them live their most fulfilling life, give them the 464 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 1: most access to the world, support them and love them 465 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: in the best ways that you can. And Kai is 466 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: a dog person. I'm a dog person, UM. And he's 467 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: always where where he would find troubles socially with people 468 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: or find challenges with people. UH, those those social interactions 469 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: didn't come really naturally to him, but he did always 470 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: gravitate to dogs. So my husband and I debated getting 471 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: him a pet dog, but we thought, well, if we're 472 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: going to get him a dog, let's let's get him, 473 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: you know, something, something proper that can be with him. 474 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: If this is who he might make a connection to, 475 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: let's go for it. So we we we decided to 476 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: um fundraise and have uh Tornado raised for Kai um. 477 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: So this the day of the picture that you see 478 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: is the first day that they met. Towards the end 479 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: of the day, after we had traveled across the entire 480 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: globe through the continental US to get over to Ohio, 481 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: we met Tornado for the first time. Kai was really overwhelmed. 482 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: He I think we were all overwhelmed, along with other 483 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: families who were other recipient families who had received their 484 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 1: dogs that day and Kai. My husband had to take 485 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: Kai back to where we were staying and give him 486 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: a break and kind of bring him, you know, in 487 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: and out, you know, as he could um manage himself. 488 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: And then this was sort of at the end of 489 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: the day, shortly before we were leaving, and out of nowhere, 490 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: Kai came out of the children's playroom, grabbed his iPad 491 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: and then just came in late on Tornado and sorry, 492 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm getting emotional.

Even 578 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: at night, after we have supper and we finished our 579 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: homework and we're sitting around watching something on Disney, they 580 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: want to bring the dog in to sit with them. 581 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,399 Speaker 1: What is that? I just think the dogs are right 582 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 1: enough to know about what the what, what the temperament is, 583 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: what what's going on in nighttime? These animals sit and 584 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: watch and learn things. But one thing I want to 585 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,479 Speaker 1: mention real quickly. I was anteing what Jane was saying, 586 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: and the three things I talked to people I learned 587 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: from my dad on the farm when I was five 588 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: years old. I want to get a little pair of 589 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: keet and my dad said, Jack, let me, I know 590 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: you love this little pair of keep you saw in 591 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: the store window. Yeah. Do Dad remember something, Son. It's 592 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: a word called responsibility. Just like on this farm here, 593 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 1: you're responsible for the life of that animal. That means 594 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,879 Speaker 1: you will take care of it every single day. You'll 595 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: make sure it's had a great life. You're not gonna 596 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: have some a little small cage and you're gonna take 597 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: care of that animal. Jack but you know something, after 598 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: the love loves something like you do, you have a responsibility. 599 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: When you have a pet, you have the love for it, 600 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: you have responsibility for it. And you know something I 601 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: figured out about years ago. Gets what else it teaches? 602 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: And they may think of me more, but here it 603 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: teaches death. For example, when little pet died five years later, 604 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: Brety middle cheerials box the top of our hill. They're 605 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: on the farm. Now, that was my first one. Then 606 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,479 Speaker 1: next time we had the terrible thing and a little 607 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: two little goats, and my dad felt terrible when I'm 608 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,439 Speaker 1: hit underneath the car and lost his life. Now after 609 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: those two things, my grandfather died two years later. Now, 610 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,879 Speaker 1: what I'm saying everybody is for me to go through 611 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: death of a grandparents or our parents are both gone. 612 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 1: You see how when you get older what happens. And 613 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: then you may think I'm crazy when I'll use that 614 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: word death, I don't. I won't use it in front 615 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: of children. What it teaches all of us at least 616 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: taught me, and I know it teaches others that when 617 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,240 Speaker 1: you're an animal like that, whether you're dog, a bird, 618 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: whatever it might be. Uh, it teaches those things you 619 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: have to love that animal, your responsibility for that animal, 620 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: for its life, and life will end. But a lot 621 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: of young people like myself didn't understand. We all know this. 622 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: I'm seventy now, and you never think life is gonna 623 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: end until you see what I'm sure Jane, myself and 624 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: a lot of you guys have. If you work with animals, 625 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: you know what's gonna happen eventually, but children don't understand it. 626 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 1: You don't sit there and talk to about it, but 627 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: they'll be exposed to it and they sell Corney on 628 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,919 Speaker 1: this interview today. But those are the things I've lived 629 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: by when it comes to animals, you love them, you're 630 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: responsible for those animals, and then at that point you 631 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: know that they will come. But a lot of people 632 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 1: don't understand that they will come and um, and that's 633 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: why I think the animal world helps with as well. 634 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: You know, Jack, another thing that I love about you 635 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: and your whole team, your beautiful family and wife.

And you know at a time 638 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: where every time I go online or dare to turn 639 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,760 Speaker 1: on the knews, I hear about one more famous person 640 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 1: has done all allegedly a horrible thing. And you know what, 641 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: that's not true about Jack, That is not true what 642 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 1: he says he lives by.

Then Lucy 646 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,399 Speaker 1: was obsessed with cats.

You know, people say about rattlesnakes 690 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,280 Speaker 1: all the time with the good Lord made a rattlesnake, 691 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 1: because snake will rattle.

Coral snake looks like some 694 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: other kinds of steak, king snake, things like that. But 695 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: that's a newer toxic and he must thought he would 696 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: toxic because you know, is a rattlesnake. Those kind of 697 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: snakes were it's just a very painful bite and also 698 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: just rots. But when you comes to a coral snake, 699 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: which is pretty rare, the animal has to basically chew, 700 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,439 Speaker 1: but he doesn't have the things and that goes that's 701 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: h not he it is newer toxic when you means 702 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 1: he goes to the brain and you go to sleep basically, 703 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,400 Speaker 1: and I'm sorry to say, you might just sleep rather forever. 704 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: So people get mixed up on snakes. I've filmed snakes 705 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,359 Speaker 1: all over the world. Um uh my people always ask 706 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: me the question, oh my gosh, Jack, have you been betten? 707 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 1: You know, I don't like that question because is Jane 708 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,720 Speaker 1: will agree if I'm betten or something my animal usually 709 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: usually most of the time, it's my fault. It's not 710 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 1: the animal's fault. When we film out there for thirty years, 711 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: I made it clear as thirty years ago you respect. 712 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: It's called respect for your animal. At home, it's respect 713 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: for the elephants and the lion. Some film crews love 714 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 1: to go in there and push it to where the 715 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,879 Speaker 1: dawn gum thing attacks the jeep and throws it over, 716 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,319 Speaker 1: and some guys get bitten. You know. The reality TV 717 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of it because they doesn't 718 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: teach the young people how to go to Africa or 719 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: India or the North Post, South Pole wherever I go. 720 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 1: Uh we were We filmed with respect. Okay, maybe you 721 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: don't get the best film of something attacking and blood 722 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,799 Speaker 1: flying every which way. That's their home, not my home. 723 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 1: And we always feel with respect to these animals, and 724 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:47,959 Speaker 1: we've always done it. And the God that our crew 725 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: has been together for twenty three years and we all 726 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: work as a team as a family, and we look 727 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 1: at those wild animals, your animal home. You know you 728 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,879 Speaker 1: you respect your animals home. You don't sit down and 729 00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,840 Speaker 1: take a dog. And my dad taught me that you 730 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 1: you put food there in his saying, and all of 731 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: a sudden, you have a two year older somebody visit 732 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: you and they go and grab the food out of 733 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: dog bowl. Jane will tell you that could be a 734 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 1: fatal bite, a fatal bite, that could be a chamble bite. 735 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 1: So kids have to learn about animals. And I know 736 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,320 Speaker 1: I'm jumping around a lot. My dad us gentm me 737 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 1: on the farm. I have a T N T or 738 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: a D T A D. I don't know what the 739 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 1: hell the heck I have my w I can't remember 740 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,800 Speaker 1: a D H A T and t ill okay, whatever 741 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 1: it is. Anyway, I jump around a lot, but I 742 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 1: just I'm trying to explain things about animals and nel. 743 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 1: Some dogs are never even betting anybody. But you can't 744 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: go up to dogs grab the food of a pot, 745 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,399 Speaker 1: you know. I learned all these things on the farm 746 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 1: and how to how to respect the animal world. And 747 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,399 Speaker 1: that's what I try to do when I film and 748 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 1: when I talk about the animals, you know, and it 749 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: does a Coming to the Cormon Zoological Park, I think 750 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,479 Speaker 1: Jane knows nine percent of my animals today and ninety 751 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: eight percent come from other zoos. I can go click 752 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,959 Speaker 1: if I need a sperm or an egg or something 753 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 1: like that, because I think we really are the arts 754 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 1: of the world. We weren't that. We were not that 755 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 1: by the way, thirty years ago. But today um millions, 756 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars to spit on to make 757 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 1: sure these animals have habitats. Uh, there's some other best 758 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 1: in the world. And if you can't touch the heart 759 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 1: to teach some mind of these people about your dogs 760 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: or cats or some of these animals, and none of them. 761 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,399 Speaker 1: When I do my speeches to two or three thousand 762 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 1: people in these theaters asked the audience, how many have 763 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: you ever seen a elephant in Africa? No hands? How 764 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: many have you you ever seen a killer? Well, no hands? 765 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 1: How many have you seen? I could go through a 766 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 1: list of five thousand animals and usually sometimes I'll say adolphin. 767 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: You'll get some hands up. So what I'm trying to 768 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,360 Speaker 1: say is in this logical world, in the aquarium world, 769 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,839 Speaker 1: having these animals now that we know how to breed 770 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,400 Speaker 1: them and have them and have the proper habitats, and 771 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: then I'll agree with people way back when they weren't 772 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 1: good habitats. But now today we do that because we 773 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 1: have to let people see for themselves why they weren't 774 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 1: want to love an animal to save an animal. You 775 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: can't love something you can't save something in the world 776 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: that my wife hates this term, but I'll say it 777 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,839 Speaker 1: real quick. I have kids and grandkids. But I'll tell 778 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 1: you one thing is I traveled the world. The main 779 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 1: thing we have everybody, you can do global warming for 780 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 1: everything you want to. It's called over population. I think 781 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: Jane is probably overpopulation takes animals room. It's that It's 782 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,359 Speaker 1: that simple and it's not rocket science. Everybody can sit 783 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 1: here and debate on global warming. You debate all you 784 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 1: want to water and all this stuff causing this. The 785 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,719 Speaker 1: Good Lord put the earth here, he told us to 786 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 1: do with what propetator prey relationship on our earth. Obviously, 787 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 1: with so many people, it's been screwed up. So that's 788 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,880 Speaker 1: why we have to sit here and and uh, at 789 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 1: least teach people something about other animals throughout the world, 790 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 1: you know, and that kind of thing, and hopefully people 791 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,399 Speaker 1: learn from their dogs and cats. Um. Without the animal world, 792 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 1: none of us would be here in many different ways. 793 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,439 Speaker 1: But the animal worlds taught me a lot, by the way, 794 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 1: when I go out there and study the gorillas or 795 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 1: watched them for over all these years. And the lions, 796 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: which are you know, the real social animal, not like 797 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,279 Speaker 1: the solitary catch motion on the spot where you see 798 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,720 Speaker 1: the snakes for example. You know, these are all creatures 799 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: on earth, and and if you go out and learn 800 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,280 Speaker 1: about them and see them, then you respect them. You know, Jane, 801 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 1: what you were saying earlier about it's not just cats 802 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:57,160 Speaker 1: and dogs. On a hot August August day at Brookfield Zoo, 803 00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,040 Speaker 1: a three year old boy falls into a gorilla in 804 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 1: closure and actually gets knocked out a female Lowland gorilla 805 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 1: bentye Jew guarded the boy from all the other gorillas. 806 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:16,040 Speaker 1: Then she picks the baby boy up in her arms 807 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 1: like a human would hold a baby. She's got her 808 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,399 Speaker 1: own seventeen month old baby on her back, and she 809 00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:27,239 Speaker 1: carries the human baby sixty feet to an entrance and 810 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:32,799 Speaker 1: hands the baby to the human zookeepers. I mean, Jane, 811 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:38,479 Speaker 1: why don't people understand that animals are extremely intelligent? Well, 812 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 1: because they can't speak English, and this is why some 813 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 1: people have here from Los Angeles. You'll probably chuckle. But 814 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:47,839 Speaker 1: one of the things that some of the animal rights 815 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,279 Speaker 1: activists are doing is taking a vowed silence for a 816 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 1: couple of hours every day to communicate nonverbally so that 817 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 1: they can understand what it's like to be an animal. 818 00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:01,879 Speaker 1: And so, you know, animals exhibit unconditional of They are 819 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,680 Speaker 1: highly intelligent. They have all the emotions that humans have. 820 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:11,440 Speaker 1: They experienced terror, they experience loneliness, they experienced longing, They 821 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 1: they have all the whole range of emotions. I mean, 822 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,799 Speaker 1: my gosh, my four little rescues here at home.
