    Michael, when I was in a very dark place, your videos helped me get through it. I felt the love that you exuded for your animals. Diego and Enzo felt like family. The work you did rescuing these creatures was beautiful, and it gave me faith that there was good in the world.
    Coming back to your channel and seeing what things have become now, it breaks my heart. I stayed up last night crying and sick with worry about your home.
    Please, Michael, I am BEGGING you...your animals are suffering. You're suffering. You have to get rid of most of the zoo. It's not your fault that the economy in SA completely collapsed, and it's not your fault that you had unreliable workers. But that's the reality, and there comes a point where you can't realistically do this anymore. Not alone. Please, find them new homes. Stop letting them breed. And for the love of God, don't get new monkeys when Jackie moves out. Just take care of Enzo & Diego and maybe some dogs and cats, like you used to at the beginning when Ozzie was here.
    Please. Your tigers love you. We love you. We love them. You're their dad and they don't know any better. Do the right thing.

    It will be non stop mess everyday with birds, dogs and cats toileting everywhere in the house. Then there is the outside. Instead of forever complaining, it would make sense to stop breeding and collecting more animals. Many people have said this to you but you don't listen. When finances are tight and everything's rented, it's pure madness to have even more mouths to feed. Jackie and your mum should come first and when there isn't enough money then the sensible thing would be to cut back on the animals drastically. Less work, less stress, much more hygienic for all of you.

    Michael, I have loved your channel from the beginning but at some point you must realize that zoo & house should never go together. It is not good for the animals or you & Jackie. The people here are not doing you any favors by telling you that everything is great because it isn't. I am sure that you have meant well but the animals have been allowed to do whatever they want and they must be controlled. You do not have enough room for all of these animals. You need acres of land with real grass (a farm) to sustain these kinds of animals. What is going to happen when the rains & flooding start? I've seen it before you had all of the small animals. You also can't do this all by yourself, somehow you're going to have to hire a crew to get everything done Michael. Sell something and then downsize. Your channel was fine with just the Tigers and a couple of dogs. The animals are dependent on you and trust that you know what you're doing and now we can see that they are paying for it & so are you & Jackie. Most of your original subs have stopped watching because we saw the problems long ago. No one can say they love animals, and you, while you're living in these conditions. I'm not a mean spirited person but I am honest because I truly care. You need help and you must do whatever it takes for everyone involved. You guys do not need all of this stress and it is daily, I'm sure. Stop blaming others and get busy, what would happen if, god forbid, you had an accident and got hurt while on the roof? Please Michael, this cannot continue, it is your responsibility. This is reality & I'm sorry it seems harsh but it's true. You're cutting these animals lives short & now I'm afraid for the Tigers, when are those steps gonna break? Enzo's shoulder, and now, over feeding, flies, dirty water, and too much cream. Healthy & loving is not the same as spoiling, the animals don't know any better. Please hire a crew and throw that furniture out, you said years ago that you don't sit on it. Don't get new yet though, maybe empty would be easier to clean. This is your home Michael not a zoo & you're not an animal. God gave us dominion to be civilized. Now lets see how much hate I get for telling you the hard truth because I care for all involved.

      Hi Lisa, this is exactly what I and many others have said multiple times. I've been a long-time subscriber and am appalled to see what has become of this channel. This was one of my favourite channels for years, and it was great when Michael had just the tigers and a couple of dogs and cats. The number of animals he has now has gotten out of hand. He needs to stop taking in new animals and rehome all of the existing smaller animals and birds like the chicken, ducks, pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits and even the monkeys and most of the cats and dogs, and keep just the two tigers, which will render the place more hygienic and make it easier for him to look after the tigers. Also, the livestreams need to go, or at the very least, be moved to a secondary channel, and the regular vlogs brought back, which are superior both in terms of quality and content. The channel did very well until the introduction of the lives. Now, it is the same chatter week after week after week. Unfortunately, though, I don't think any of this is ever going to happen, as Michael has surrounded himself with yes-men and enablers who gatekeep this channel now, cheering his every word and decision, instead of pointing out the obvious to him, and shouting down well-wishers. I've had my comments deleted in the past by the mods because I dared to provide some constructive criticism. It breaks my heart.

Jackie does mention, though, that Michael wants to get more monkeys after she takes the existing ones, and now I'm confused. He doesn't need any more animals - he needs to rehome his existing ones and focus on his tigers.

      @@soph_shi That's what I think. i have never agreed with his policy of letting the cats have more kittens, and guinea pigs breed really fast. i preferred the channel when there was just the Tigers dogs and cats (but not so many cats) I like the pig, but it's not really a town pet. He really needs to cut the animals in half (not literally!!) because if he doesn't get decent help, i don't know how he will manage when Jackie goes.oh, and he REALLY does not need to get more Monkeys.

    • @soph_shi
      @soph_shi 22 วันที่ผ่านมา +10

      @maxthecat14 Absolutely. I've never understood how people keep monkeys at home as pets. They are far too intelligent, inquisitive, chaotic and destructive (not to mention, noisy) to be considered pets. I really hope he doesn't get more monkeys, or any other new animal, for that matter, as Michael has mentioned in the past that finding reliable househelp in SA is difficult, and it is impossible for him to operate an entire zoo on his own.

    I just watched a video from 6 years ago and got curious to see if you still posted. After watching this video, it’s DRASTICALLY a different vibe. I can understand being upset because a worker isn’t doing their job but why not just step up and do the job yourself? If the animals are too much for you to handle you shouldn’t have them to begin with. Maybe limit the amount of animals you own so you can actually care for them and your house. Why not hire multiple workers instead of just one? Maybe your current employee has another source of income and needs to be there by 3? There’s just so many different ways to handle this situation other than complaining about it.

    Hi Michael, I hope you heed the advice in the other comments on this video. Please downsize and keep only the two tigers, which will make it easier for you to look after them, maintain the house, and also take care of yourself. I see that you mostly post new videos for only the members. Please do not alienate your longtime subscribers and post videos regularly for us as well, which will help you get new subscribers and grow your channel. The lives are way too long and are often of such poor quality that everything is pixellated and nothing is visible. 5 or 10 minute videos are preferable over the hour long livestreams. Thanks.

    Have given you this advice before, but will do it again: Try to get a partnership with a university that trains zookeepers and veterinarians!
