Monkey: wants to hold Chris' hand Me: sobbing

[@PorpoiseInATent]

technically I think it was a gibbon which is a type of ape But otherwise yeah

[@maybeapacifist]

Yep. That gentle, "Hey, will you touch me and hold my hand?" Sobbing is correct 😭🥰

[@BlueYiperoo]

The little monkey afraid of Chris and men in general is sad because of what bad men did to her. Damn animal abusers!

[@sharonhill7363]

I almost cried the whole show especially after seeing the hand holding. Alls she wanted was to cuddle with Chris...

[@Bolihunter15]

I really like that Edwin speaks the native language of the land. For me, its even more indicative of his care and compassion for every living thing. Instead of expecting them to learn English he learned their language

[@MissSpaz]

I agree- it's very nice to see a Westerner put the time and effort into learning the native language.

[@alexbattaglia8297]

That is true, but to be fair English wouldn't be his native language either

[@Breathefreemylove]

Yeah he’s dutch, white people have native languages other than English.

@Joy Jones Lol do YOUR own research. That documentary has some leaning on it to make it entertaining for the masses, it was bias. Yes she started out the wrong way but BigCatRescue was turned around several years ago into a legitimate rescue for big cats needing new homes to retire in safely. Those animals have space, enrichment and food.

@@kpp28 I'd hope that most people know there's not just one person/sanctuary per country, county, state or town. Highlighting one sanctuary just helps the word to begin to spread amongst people that don't necessarily know about the cause. At the end of the day, we're all trying to give animals the best chance at life and we're working towards the same goal. We should first and foremost support one another in the very important cause

[@sm8634]

This is so sad. The fact that they need a wildlife sanctuary, that but is heart breaking. I know everyone there is doing there best. But what made me the saddest, was seeing one of the elephants swaying. This is a sign of stress, or lack of space and stimulation. But, this sanctuary is MUCH better than working for an elephant. I admire Chris, and all the people who made/make this organization possible.💕

[@whenanxietykicksin1102]

I almost started crying, I visited the rescue center some months ago while I was on my Christmas holiday. I loved it there it was beautiful. It was the first time I touched an elephant. And I saw the exact same animals shown in the videos. This makes me so happy.

[@SCTyler]

May favorite episode by far. Being a Animal behaviorist, it is so easy to see the changes in their behavior once they have been captured from the wildlife trade. I believe they are thankful for being rescued, the food and the love. Such a moving episode.

[@blueemindd1928]

I’ve seen so many neglected zoos here in Thailand and it breaks my heart every time I visit them. Most often its dehydrated sun bears or traumatized elephants.. The wildlife friends foundation is doing an amazing job for these animals.

Great job by Mr. Wiek. That's what I call an enormous heart.

You know, I love this show but always had reservations since it is a show but after watching this and seeing how they are trying to make people aware of these horrific acts of cruelty and neglect has really added 100% more respect from me. Thanks to all vets, wildlife experts and anyone willing to sacrifice their time for helping these animals. If I ever get a chance to visit Australia, I would like to personally thank Chris for all the knowledge he and his team at Bondi Vet have given me and everyone watching. Well Done.👍

I am so glad that there are still some people who do want to help and taking care of mistreated so helpless beings. It was a pleasure in watching this video of so many homeless wild animals with so much care and love they try to give. Edwin Wiek and Dr. Bondi from Australia made this video so special for so many of us to see and maybe helping in some way to contribute. I certainly will try to do so whenever I can. Thank you, thank you for doing this for these animals.

[@delybrwn]

Personally for me, this is one of the best episodes I've seen! So inspiring, it gives you many things to think about. Those animals don't deserve to be treated as an entertainment for sure. I remember watching this episode on the TV and now when I watch this again - it still gives me chills. Great work. Thank you Bondi Vet team!

[@NicklePickle426]

This whole episode both broke my heart- for the poor animals, and also made me cry tears of joy and pride- for all of the good people who are volunteering their time and services to help these poor animals!!! It's just amazing at how both cruel and evil, and than kind and generous people can truly be. God Bless you all for your time and efforts in trying to make the world a better place, and for selflessly helping the animals! (especially by not treating the place like a zoo, where yes they would get donations, but the animals would just be exploited all over again!)😭😍

That's so sad there are not very many elephants in the wild in Thailand anymore. It breaks my heart seeing these animals in captivity when they should be in the wild! That poor elephant with the absess, that's horrible how badly they get treated. Ppl treat them like crap and feed them and then wonder why the animals attack or why they are in populated areas causing trouble, geeze!! Let them be wild animals and look at them from a distance, that's the best way to see animals is in their own habitat!! I really liked this episode, thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@leecooper4213]

April Chamberlain: I totally agree with your statements here! Don't you just LOVE how people are shocked when their "pets" strike back......Only sad thing is that the humans involved usually end up killing the animal. But at least the animal got the last say......

If you don't have money for school, animal shelters and zoo's are always looking for help. I do volunteer work at an animal shelter and it's honestly some of the most fun I've had.
