I help animals by trying keeping food in my balcony, trying not to disturb them if they come (but they are quite alert so they still fly away), have a makeswift nest in which one day hopefully we'll have a family (we have a bird family in kitchen pipe) and feed stray dogs/cats food like cat food for cats and bread for dogs.

    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.

    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.

    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 am so glad that there are people out there like Edwin, Scott and various others who not only protect and help the domestic animals but also the wild ones. I would love to one day go over to Thailand and spend a few weeks volunteering my time as well seeing the country itself. While African elephants are beautiful I have always loved the Asian elephants for the freckling on their heads and faces.

    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!

    • @tape8036

      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.

    Second time watching this one and I still love it. Struck by how majestic the monkey's profile is when he was being held up while knocked out.

  • @mj4298
    @mj4298 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Edwin rocks. He is not only a passionate and caring man but he is also a wise man. His point about keeping your cool and not showing anger when trying to convince someone to treat an animal better or release it to the rescuers is spot on; As much as you'd like to yell at the jerk, it won't help the animal being mistreated.
