    Over feeding is as much animal cruelty as under feeding. Sadly many people see it as showing love, but in the long run they become big, thicc and sick.

      They do the same with their kids, usually. My roommate in my younger days was the sweetest lady, whose sister and nephew lived just a few streets away. The nephew was at my home quite often. And my roomie would PLY him with sweets. This kid was 9 years old and weighed 205 pounds. He was practically force-fed junk food and fast food, because these two women grew up dirt-poor in the hills near Rogersville, Tennessee.
      The amazing thing is, he got up to close to 400# before HS Gradiation. But when he moved out of his mom’s house, he began losing weight. I saw him 10,12 years later, and he was a tall, handsome and well built young man.
      Not sure what the lesson is, but don’t feed your kid junk food every day. Of course a sweet is fine on occasion, as is fast food, but not DAILY!

      @@user-ph7dp9rr5s you can absolutely get a dog to stay in an uncomfortable situation, or even a dangerous situation.
      If your dog loves and trusts you (and has a reasonable amount of training, so they can understand what you want) they may listen to you even when their life is threatened.
      Dogs are incredibly loyal and self sacrificing for those they care about.

      Us humans have that natural response, but animals are much more resilient than us 😝 They mostly adapt really well because their survival instincts are so strong, but also because unlike humans, they don’t really dwell on what they’re missing out on ☺️
      A friend’s cat had a brain tumour that caused him to go blind but luckily, the tumour was easily removed! He’s healthy now, but the blindness was permanent. At first, he was just learning to adjust but unlike humans (who would understandably be upset and overwhelmed at permanently losing their sight so quickly, getting distraught they’ll never see their kids smile again etc), he didn’t have the struggle of all that ☺️ My friend just had to think of different ways to play with him and help him use his hearing skills to navigate instead! He jumps into cardboard boxes, she softly taps or scratches different areas (like a little mouse haha), and he “pounces” 😝💖 He’s a happy boy and other than occasionally running into walls when he has the zoomies, he manages to have a content life with blindness, the same way he did when he could see 💖

    So neat that you’ll hopefully have new generations of Canadian Geese taking over your deck and flower pot and raising their goslings. It’s not just a flower pot anymore but a special nest. Hope you get to enjoy new geese for years to come. You are the chosen one. Out of all the decks and all the flower pots yours was chosen.

      Jim definitely feeds them too much bad food. I leave dry cat food on my porch year round for my raccoons, and when they have their litters, I feed the little ones bread, grapes, and sunflower seeds. When they reach about 4-1/2 months old at the middle of August, they move on to find their own homes.

    Absolutely loving the longer compilations by The Dodo channel, and depicting the wonderful humans that are working tirelessly for the prevention of unnecessary cruelty, abuse and suffering of our beloved, animal kingdom members.
    And quite possibly, the best part about this entire video was at the very end, upon seeing the level of sheer joy and jubilation by so many of the natives, who are clearly determined to help their indigenous animal species of all kinds, safely make it in an increasingly hostile and rapidly shrinking world, that's relentlessly encroaching upon the natural habitat, and as a direct result, is exposing the animal kingdom to all manner of dangers and difficulties that requires as many good humans as is possible to continue with the miraculous rescues such as we watched in this video. ❤❤❤

    Oh, I thought male cougars were a danger to cubs? Still, what a sweet fella!! I hope he gets the best life his caretaker can offer 💕

    Amazing stories!!! Where I used to live at one time there was a raccoon and she was stealing the cat food I was putting out for the stray cats. She got pretty but at least these raccoons now have a place where they can do exercise and they have one another and their weight loss journey is magnificent.
    And the goose always coming back to the same flower pot and then having babies was so heartwarming. I have never heard a bird do that sound before it sounded like a cat hiss.
    The cougar was beautiful. I love all animals and the big cats always hold a special place in my heart. And the way that this woman respected the cougar not wanting to really make it a pad and play with it and put clothing on it and make it like a house cat but she respected the fact that this animal could not go back into the wild so she treated it respectfully while taking care of it and that's an important thing.
    And a big big thank you to all of those people who helped that dolphin. Care comes in all shapes and sizes and comes from old people's all over the world their compassion to save animals whether they have whiskers pause feathers or fins is truly amazing❤❤❤❤

    Thank you for the update, The Dodo..!! Hissing geese look funny on UA-cam videos, but they sound menacing when you hear them right next to you. 🥶 There are videos of people who panic and run after an unexpected hissing geese encounter, and that's like giving them a green signal to attack you. Don't run. Don't even look at them, and just walk away. ❤

    Our high school had a pair of ducks that would nest in the courtyard every year. And every year we eagerly anticipated the day the biology teachers would round up the ducklings to relocate them to a nearby park with a pond. It was fairly hilarious.
