Urgent medical attention is needed for patients including Elephants, Monkeys, and even Sun Bears!

That hand holding was so heart breaking, I ALMOST CRIED! 😢
I did cry
Red Ninja1915 I know right? It just wanted love.
Same i cryed
Same I cried. it just needed some love❤️
Red Ninja 1915,Program covers a vast of different species(the recover is 9 to 10).Very educational,medically. All is well intentioned & I'm obsessed with some of the procedures,positive turn around. Sooo professional team here
Good job!!🙂
Monkey: wants to hold Chris' hand
Me: sobbing
technically I think it was a gibbon which is a type of ape
But otherwise yeah
Yep. That gentle, "Hey, will you touch me and hold my hand?" Sobbing is correct 😭🥰
The little monkey afraid of Chris and men in general is sad because of what bad men did to her. Damn animal abusers!
I almost cried the whole show especially after seeing the hand holding. Alls she wanted was to cuddle with Chris...
“I actually just wanted to see him with his shirt off” damn girl
Me too!! And what a beautiful specimen of manliness he is!!
Same girl, same.
He definitely is hot.
👀👀👀
Omg, the body!
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
I agree- it's very nice to see a Westerner put the time and effort into learning the native language.
That is true, but to be fair English wouldn't be his native language either
Yeah he’s dutch, white people have native languages other than English.
It would be hard to live in a country for so long and not learn the primary language
Edwin is wonderful. He needs to be cloned! Good, kind man!
The monkey holding his hand broke my heart
Her saying that she just wanted to see him with his shirt off, I almost died laughing!
The only thing that would have been better, would be to watch Dr. Chris is in a SPEEDO!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Hey she just said what we are all thinking, and I'm grateful she did. For her sake and ours! Lol thank you!
Yeah! That was sure a treat. Dr. Hunk!
He is good looking with heart of Gold..
i mean same.
That Dutchman has his sh** together. He understands that wildlife needs to remain wild. In the U.S., I think it's Florida, we have a big cat sanctuary with the same moto. Beautiful animals, sad story.
Big Cat Rescue! They are in Florida and theyre also on youtube
Glad to see Big Cat Derek is still doing what he loves!
Danielle Stager
Carol Baskin, killed her husband, whacked him.
Can’t convince me that it didn’t happen.
Fed him to tigers, they snackin’.
What’s happenin’
@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.
@@IncandescentBooks1997 Big Cat Rescue rescues big cats from people who have been getting them off the internet and they raise them as pets in their homes and apartments. they even rescue them from circus, road side shows that have been closed and illegal traders.
I can't chose between sleep or binge watching more bondi vet 🤔
Same 😝😂 I just found this channel a few days ago and I've successfully watched so many hours. Love it
Omg same I’m up just binge watching and I can’t find a reason to just sleep
Don't sleep
Same here this is all I watch
I feel the same I'm from Alaska USA this is foreign to me.
It's sad that people don't see what they're doing to the animals they capture and sell or torture. Everyone needs to spread awareness of the plight of these animals. Thank you to all the refuges around the world who are trying to change the way animals are treated. ❤
Shirley Laboy o
Volunteers, not refugees lmao
@@masterfulmoonlighter5402 The commenter said refuges (plural form of the word refuge the place/organization that provides shelter/care), not refugees. I think you need to re-read the original comment.
Thank you to Edwin.... What a beautiful and special human being!!!!
Exactly
The Dutch man is a freaking rock star!! So passionate & caring
WAC Veteran and he speaks Thai! That’s not easy! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a special human being he is!!!!!!
When the monkey held Chris’ hand I nearly cried. It was so sweet
I'm not crying.... You're crying!
We are all crying
i love how chris uses his platform to draw attention to important issues and to highlight people like edwin and his crew who do just as much work without even a fraction of the attention.
I love Edwin, he is such a beautiful man and it seems like the only voice for all those desperate animals in Thailand. We need more people like Edwin who understand all aspects of his work so well.
Thailand have had a nature conservation law since 1946, one of the first country and we are trying our best to return these beautiful animals to the wild. Edwin is definitely an important voice but certainly not the only!
Good point. Great. Words
@@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
And his workers
@@vory1770 .....
That's a place I'd like to go work at. How awesome ........
the most sophisticated "Awakeness Test" are the "Banana test" and the "Broom test"... Clap clap!
The monkey holding his hand is the 2nd most heart warming thing, the 1st is a puppy that wouldn’t stop smiling
Ape, Gibbons are not monkeys. They are the one and only animal that make up the lesser apes. They are the only apes on earth not classified as great apes.
I hope this rescue organization gets every penny and volunteer it deserves.
Every girl was mostly waiting for dr Chris to clean the elephant with no shirt on aha
Lilly Mckay
😂 I KNEW that was what she was gonna say 😆
?
Hahahaha me too
Oop
Sad but true-
Hannah’s statement hit the nail on the head… “the damage us humans do” May she get many blessings, along with the rest of the people volunteer to help these creatures and many others.
That hand holding was beautiful. I really think there was some kind of communication.
Best- out- of- context quote EVER. "We can still shoot him, but we have to take our shoes off..." 😅
Lol! 😆
I guess if you add the "Temple" part it is not so weird anymore
Abby Is Watching I don’t think it’s out of context at all. Made perfect sense
@@suzannepatterson307 I think they meant "out of context" meaning it probably wasn't meant to be a memorable quote. But it was definitely memorable 😊
Ha!
22:41 "God damnit!" I love Edwin Wiek. He's Dutch after all!
Im native Dutch has he worked for Burgers Zoo?
Die "Godverdomme!" deed het 'm echt! xD
What an amazing episode! Edwin Wiek is a hero for sure helping all these animals who have been so abused. Hopefully people will learn to treat them with compassion through his good work.
I CANT GET OVER THAT INTRO!!!! ITS SO EPIICCCC!! Also I love that you guys educate people on helping animals. I love this show!! Keep doing good worrkkk
I really appreciate the fact that he made sure they respected the Temple rules 😊
What a great man! He's like a saint for wild animals. His heart is just beautiful!
Chris gets to go everywhere, I wish he would stop by my house and take me with him on some of his trips sometime.
He can just stop by....and stay! 😂👌Money, Looks ..and a Doctor??? Omg!
I hope chose can do that, but he can just come by your house like that. I don’t think that’s how it works.
The worker : just wanted to see him with his shirt off
Chris : scrub a dub dub having fun🐘🐘
Edwin is a great man. Nothing else to add.
Edwin is a good man, I’ve followed his work for years
The handhold, the Pepsi Cola reveal… I love this dude for being exactly the person I would be in those moments!! His sense of humor is so down to earth and he loves animals like my goofy self. Just so fun to watch him get to do all of the stuff I dream about doing!
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.💕
I could watch Dr. Chris for hours. He is such a loving and caring Vet! Wish we had one here. God bless Dr. Chris ❤🙏
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.
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.
His the kind of man who had a high profession yet his down to earth. A doctor who had a good heart and not affraid to get dirty😊.
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.
"You can still shoot him in the temple, as long as you take your shoes off"
i kinda loved that lol
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.👍
Great job by Mr. Wiek. That's what I call an enormous heart.
“I actually just wanted to see him with his shirt off XD SLICK “
That money holding hands was just adorable. He wanted human contact.
not gonna lie, i started laughing when they rolled over the bear and its tongue flopped over its eye...
The black bear is sooooooooo super adorable
When the gibbon was holding Chris’s hand I almost cried 😢😢
His Thai is impressive. He seems to really understand the locals there even if it could be hard to adjust to.
All these animal's are so beyond beautiful and it's heartbreaking at the same time.
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.
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!
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!)😭😍
It must feel fantastic to be doing such meaningful work and to know that your time on the planet has been well spent.
I have to say I am so glad Edwin Wiek is doing the work he's doing!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is a much needed and important man in the fight to stop animal cruelty in Thailand!!! I feel what he feels and think he's amazing for handling his feelings with people in the way he does to help make change. Thank you for your work!
The way the monkey opened the cage was amazing.
I literally each this everyday and the fact that the experts teach normal people is so inspirational. I don't know why people do terrible things to animals
I gotta say.. Edwin Wiek's Thai is quite fluent. It is hard to see a westerner nailed the accent and pronunciations. I am impressed.
Hes had his Thai sanctuary for more than 20 years, it would be more difficult for him not to learn the language
That is the first Dutchman in 40+ years I have ever had the opportunity to see into the heart of.
He really seems like a good soul. If I could afford to feed myself, I'd send money. I really would.
Watching Dr. Chris hold hands with that gibbon(?) was so sweet! ❤
Wildlife Friends Foundation: donate to help the animals
Dr Chris is an amazingly versatile vet. Bravo, sir
To everyone at the rescue, thank you
Kudos to the team and volunteers for their work in rescuing these beautiful creatures!
What Edwin has been doing rlly warms my heart he worked so hard and has probably saved so many animals lives and given them a better life I hope he keeps up the amazing work
This is so touching when he took Chris’s hand. To hold hands.
God bless the vet, volunteers, and the dutch man for everything they do. They appreciate Chris helping them out. Chris loves it.
Its just heartbreaking to know that animals have to go through such things but that sanctuary does amazing work
If we could just get people to quit destroying habitats and stop getting exotic animals for pets these beautiful creatures could live in peace in the environments God made for them.
Then we would only need these centers for those that really need help to be returned back to the wild.
Thanks for all you do.❤️
I've watched tons of Bondi Vet videos but only today have I seen the ones where Kris goes to other countries. This is great!!
LOVE this! And Love him swearing in Dutch! Edwin seems like a great guy.
Thank god that there are really good people in the world like him who are trying to educate people about these beautiful animals.
The banana test, yeah, I made it up just for you. Love it
I’m so hooked on this amazing vet show team that it’s all I to is watch 24/7 I can’t get anything done, and being I’m not supposed to go out anywhere I’m so glad I found you, thanks 😊
What a wonderful opportunity to share and help yet another rescue wildlife center. Good on you Chris to bring this story to us.
Bondi Vet is one of my favorite shows to watch. All the work they do is incredible. I am so grateful for all the work that so many people do to help the wild life and educate people about animals and the impact that we have on the habitats of those animals. I could spend every second of every day learning everything I can about all types of wild life.
12:40 that was the softest yeet of a banana at a sunbear I have ever witnessed. I literally snorted. 🤣🤣🤣
Chris, every time I watch a Bondi Vets, I am amazed with your knowledge and your love of all animals. Every vet on these videos is wonderful too. I love these videos and I learn so much. Keep up the great work !
-Sandy from Oregon, USA
If I could change anything in my life, I would definitely become a veterinarian for sure. One thing I would have done differently would be to stay in school and strive to become something really great and for me, that would include taking care of all creatures great and small. If only........😔😟💫
It's never too late! If you want to become a vet and have the means, please go for it! We need more kind and caring people like you looking out for and caring for the welfare of this world's animals. I'm sure you would make an incredible vet!
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. It's sad seeing the animals in cages, but when you have a very shy dog that wants nothing more than to lie down and sleep and you finally get him to get up and play is so beautiful.
Thats exactly what i say to myself every single day… i hope you find your way into the field another way! ❤️❤️❤️
Ex-special forces, what a man!
I wish I could spend a year out there in a
Thailand helping
What a wonderful episode, I love animals- specially elephants! Thank you and God bless you all for your all your help and determination for all the animals you treat and care for- Blessings from NYC!! 😄💗🌷
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!!!!!
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......
Thank you for great video on Thailands Animal Rescue Center. Very enlightening! Great care for the animals there!🥰
Beautiful application of the Banana Test!
"I just wanted to see him with his shirt off" you and me both girl, you and me both:)))))
Dr. Eye Candy YUM.
Here in the US elephants are being used for entertainment less than in the past. The largest circus, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey, no longer utilizes elephants and I believe that is a trend.
This has to be my all time favourite episode of Bondi Vet. Going to Thailand to volunteer in one of these sanctuaries has been on my bucket list for a long time now. I can't wait to make it come true on day soon.
This was the cutest episode ever I'm watching it in school and my teacher was so in aww with this
What a great guy and a great cause . I love it.
Animal planet should do a show for this rescue organization!!!! Thank you Bondi vet!!!!!
I just hope that more humans develop compassion for all the animals and stop the cruelty against these beautiful souls who are innocent in the world of deceptive arrogance of human superiority.
Wonderful, what a way to raise children. Them knowing freedom to see animal's, life. For anyone to only see walls, trees, but life. To feel deprived of such an opportunity. Thank you for sharing. We cannot travel but we can share in the feeling of joy.
Seeing that little monkey wanting to hold Chris' hand almost made me cry!
I really admire Dr. Chris for travelling around the world to help animals in need of medical attention! God Bless Edwin and the volunteers for there constant care. ❤️
Those poor babies, I'm glad someone is helping them. The lady that founded Big Cat Rescue had a guy hire someone to put a hit on her, he was convicted and is in prison for it.
Ive followed BCR for so long and didnt know that!
@@IncandescentBooks1997 It was on their fb page awhile back, it was sometime earlier this year.
Due a recently released documentary the owner is getting bad publicity
What??? Please explain this, as makes no sense!
Lisa Moore...
?? Please explain...
Im crying 🥺🥺. Thank you so much for everything you do with these beautiful babies
You are truly inspirational Dr. Brown and I only wish Thailand's government would take care of their animals and people why not. They should pass rules, guidelines but yeah its going to take an International village to help and I want to help but there are so.many causes that need help, how do I choose the right one. In Australia right now not only are we now facing the COVID-19, epidemic but this country faced the fires, which killed people & animals and than you had rain and currently the Coronavirus. I would like to help this wondeful man who is so dedicated also and, and well, I'll check to see if there's a link posted to send at least $10.00 a month. . .something is better than nothing right? Thank you so much for having a golden & humble heart- everyone here on this video- lots of love & wishing all of you a rainfall of Blessings.💕💕
Thank you for helping these precious animals.
These videos make dark winter less dark
It is wonderful being taken to this safe place for wildlife in need. Seeing the animals and those dedicated people that care for them is heartwarming.
I love that they don't open the sanctuary to visitors and so many people want to volunteer their time to care for these beautiful creatures♡ God bless everyone involved
I love how you care for other animals it’s heartbreaking to me, almost cried about it
It is sad that people lose their respect for elephant. My father spent 6 years making a document series on elephant so I grew up around them. I was taught how to approach them, reading their bodies, their huff and whistle.
Elephants were treated much like human in the past and would be addressed as family members. The hook must be used properly as a mean to communicate and not to hurt the elephants. Only gentle words must be used and deep respect must be shown when you "ask" them to do things for you. Specific terms were created for them like Khong (herd) and we don't use the word "Tai" which means "die" (for human and animal) with elephant, instead we use "Lhom" which means "Fallen".
While pet funeral is now a thing, elephant is probably the only animal in Thailand that receives human funeral since the ancient time with monks being invited to bless them a peaceful next life.
I remember an incident of a drunken mahout was killed by a bull elephant. He was a nanny to a juvenile calf. The man was drunk and approached a bull, shouting insults at him. The bull was a massive one with history of abuses and suffered a bad case of PTSD before being purchased by my father's friend for rehab at his sanctuary. He was a bull with massive tusks but was sold cheap so we knew he had a "history". He was stable at the time but the drunken man made the wrong choice so the bull was upset and lashed out.
The calf saw his nanny being tossed around and pieced by an angry bull broke off his pen and made a run at the raging bull elephant. What happend next was other adult elephants came between the bull and the baby, defending him before other handlers could get the situation under control.
You know what, the bull was not blamed. He even cried once he calmed down. The owner held a ceremony to shear off the tip of his tusks so bad things would leave him. He lived his full life quietly until his last day with no other incident.
How smart are they? I once observed Thailand's best elephant doctor tried to give pills to a senior elephant. Most elephants would enjoy eating pills hidden in banana but not this one. She spit the pills out like shooting pea.
Thank Dr. Chris. And thank you to the Dutchmen...for helping these animals, daily.
i love this series
