      ❤ Thank you Viktor. I understand how Valia feels. I'm what people in the US call "A Bleeding Heart". ❣
      I am so oversensitive, often feeling worse about someone's problems than they do. As such, at first upon listening to you, I felt worse. But I listened again, because I have great respect for you and your values. And it turned around, letting me feel i need to be more hands-on and not give up. I love you as a fellow human being with a soul full of love and caring, and for what you do. Thank you for giving me the need to to be more involved in my own country.

    Animal Rescue is a hard thing. But don't forget that you can't change the world but every animal that gets a second chance and finds a loving home is worth the work! But the governments should help the rescuers by changing the law and by showing the effects of the things people do to their pets! Keep fighting and the future could be a better place for animals!

Think of all the happy dogs that have been rescued and all the families that receive unconditional love from those rescued animals. People like you bring a lot of joy and love to animals that would never have received it.

  • @WASPwarrior1982
    @WASPwarrior1982 4 роки тому +15

    I saw Vilai's video but was to disheartened to comment because all she said was TRUE!
    I cried the whole way through. For her.
    For me.
    For all of the suffering that happens everyday all over the world.😭
    I didn't comment because I had no hope to offer her and did not want to drag her further into the hole that I myself am in. 😞
    I love 💞 her too much for that.
    Her word's hit home so hard.
    I felt exactly like I did when I left my position at my no kill shelter I worked at.
    Burnt out.
    NOTHING I DID MADE A DIFFERENCE. 😞😣😢
    NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
    I will NEVER live to see my dream realized.😭
    It's a sad fact and it hurts like Hell.😣
    You can say what you want Viktor about your "evolution". That nothing really changes.
    But that does not make it better.😢
    I SURVIVE with the fact that there will be homeless healthy animals living in shelters all over my country (USA) euthanized EVERY DAY! That the seniors & special needs cases will be overlooked and pts first.😭
    That animal abuse continues despite stricter laws.
    That unwanted lives of puppies/kittens are ended before they have a chance to begin-cruelly tossed away like garbage.
    That there are strays that die on the streets every day.
    Alone.
    Afraid.
    And the worst fact is?
    That it seems like most people just don't give a damn!
    It's FRUSTRATING!
    It's INFURIATING!
    And it's HEARTBREAKING!
    And now with my dreams of making a HUGE difference for the animals in this 🌎 world shattered around my feet, I surrender and except it.
    That does not mean I like it or don't do whatever I can.
    But it's only small donations and small numbers of animals. 😞
    It has broken me beyond all reasoning that I can see this "thing".
    This horrible, awful, terrible THING and am POWERLESS to stop it.
    All I can do is prune a few branches as Takis said.
    I can't cut down the tree like I once thought. 😢
    It's a bitter pill to swallow and an even tougher thing to EXIST with.
    I say exist because that's what I have been reduced to.
    Not living.
    Existing.
    Surviving. 😢
    I instead voiced my frustrations on Takis's channel.
    It's just NOT FAIR!
    It's one thing to say it will never be the way we want things but, quite another to live it.
    I know it.
    Vilia knows it.
    Takis knows it.
    And yes you and your team know it as well Viktor.
    It kills me to this day that I can't "fix" it.
    But that's the unfortunately reality of the situation.
    You can't just "fix" it. 😞
    The only hope I have is in the old story about the old man, the young boy, & saving starfish.
    I can't save them all.
    I CAN'T.
    But I know it means the world to those that I can help and save.
    Is it great?
    No.
    But I exist with that reality.
    Doing something is better than doing nothing at all.
    I have to be satisfied and exist with that.
    All my love 💕to you Vilia, Takis, Viktor & your team and to all the wonderful, beautiful, caring people on these channels.
    I wish I could fix it...I really wish...🌠

    Hello again Dr. Larkhill. Your remarkable videos have become a staple in this household. We look forward to each one of them. Even through the chaos of an animal rescue from a spiteful and destructive owner as with the two dogs a few days ago, you shine your light and hope and spirit on all aspects of what you do to an extent that is unique in my experience. We've been watching animal rescue shows for a decade or more. Yours are by far the most well-written and produced videos and have always been a delight even when they pull real emotional tears from our eyes, which is almost every time. You have made a wonderful choice for your life's profession and the people you hang out with, including this beautiful lady Valia, who is amazing in her own right. We stand in awe of your program, sir, and your aim to help so many little beings to live out their lives as secure and healthy as you can possibly help them to achieve. Thanks for what you do. Not many people in the world are in your category.

    I volunteered at a local shelter years ago and emotionally couldn’t take it . I have six cats though💜
    Valia! What an amazing wonderful beautiful soul you are. I love your heart and courage . You are a super hero like Viktor and his team.
    Where would all those dogs be without caring people like you. All we all can do is just all we can do. Be kind & compassionate. I love you all & send love and encouragement 💐💗.

    You can see right away that Valia is a beautiful person inside and out. Her spirit shines through with love and compassion. I see that with you too Viktor. I am drawn to the work you do and all of your wonderful messages. Yes you make total sense in this video and I thank you for taking the time to show all of us we can do something but not everything in this world. They say empathetic people have a harder life because we feel deeply and carry others burdens of sadness and distress. I am one of those, but have to give the burdens over to God because at times it is too much to bear. God bless you dearly Viktor and Valia. Wishing all the best for you always as you carry on your mission on earth.

  • @kelpiecoco7570
    @kelpiecoco7570 4 роки тому +48

    I can understand how Valia feels. I live in the US and there are stray dogs and cats but not on the same scale as other countries like you mentioned. If strays are picked up they are taken to shelters and made available for adoption. Many do not get adopted and get euthanized. Some are rescued by other adoption and outreach organizations before they are euthanized as the shelters can only take in so many. The one good thing is that if they are adopted, they are spayed/neutered and depending on where you adopt the adoption fees can vary. My local shelter adoption fees range by dog size and is not much over $100.00 for the largest dogs. Rabies shots are required in some locals and not others with the fee being less if they are spayed/neutered. I think that no matter where people live, if they have a dog or cat it should have to be registered. If owners choose not to vaccinate for Rabies then the registration fee should be higher. I know in some countries there are so many strays that have no owners so who would pay for these dogs to be fixed to prevent more strays? I have always been an animal person. I love dogs and have always had dogs. I am a super responsible dog owner, meaning I don't just open the door and let my dogs run loose. There will always be irresponsible dog and cat owners who think it's okay to let their animals run loose and if they are intact males/females this leads to unwanted pregnancies and the puppies end up at shelters. It goes back to how some cities, counties, states require Rabies vaccination and others don't. In my county it's required but yet in a neighboring county, generally out in the country, it's not required. There is also a leash law in my county and yet not in others. Unless there is some type of regulation that is the same across the board, it will never change. Everyone has to be on the same page in some aspects but it's always going to be different in other countries. It is something that always makes me sad about the world we live in. There will always be good people, like us and there will always be bad people. But at the end of the day it all comes down to just that.......people. Some try to make the world a better place and some just don't care about anything but themselves.

    That was so profound. Had me in tears because it was so true. I dispair sometimes when I watch these rescues because I can’t give to all of them and I cry about it. Later. I give myself a talking to and eventually realize as long as I help when I can I have to believe I am doing something worthwhile with what I have got. I can never remember your friends name although have donated to her. I think she is wonderful as you are as well. Thank you both for helping me help you. Bless you both❤️🐕🐕

    Victor I hope you see my comment, while in Greece two years ago I found a rescue to help me bring back to England a very sick cat, I still have her and she is much healthier now with life long medication and I love her very much, victor the thing is I did ask the rescue team why nobody seems to care, she told me they had set up a trap and spay for cats and dogs they organised about ten vets from other countries to to go to Greece and offer there services for free. The Greek government said yes but on one condition, HOW MUCH MONEY WERE THEY GOING TO GET. This to me stink of corruption so the vets had no option but to withdraw there kind offer. How cruel it leaves me saddened to think of all the suffering this has added to the stray problem in Greece, I’ve also brought a dog back from Greece. Thank you victor for all your work and Valders.

      I had the same problem here. There is no veterinarian services where I live. I was trying to find a way to get a colony of cats I look after neutered. I was contacted by a wonderful organisation from New Zealand that visits pacific island nations and perform mass spay and neuter operations. They were willing to come, but it never happened. The problem was they needed a tax exemption to bring in all the donated medical supplies and equipment. Unfortunately here even with the required paperwork organisations have been hit with considerable import duties.

  • @petersiliekrause2203
    @petersiliekrause2203 4 роки тому +22

    I completely understand the frustration, going along with Animal rescue. For myself, I have taken this decision: NEVER to get a dog from a breeder, because there are already too much dogs around, without a home. Adopting especially dogs, who have issues with either people or either other dogs, because they have a history. I have enough time and patience to take care of those, so I feel the need of taking in the difficult cases, and give their souls time to heal, maximum two at a time. And spoil them rotten.
    I know that other people, who are willing to adopt a homeless dog might live in circumstances, which don’t allow them to take in the very challenging dogs. So I leave the „easy“ dogs to them.
    And I don’t change the world, not a bit, but I change the life of two dogs, and my own at the same time. It’s probably not much, but it’s the best I can do.
    And by supporting channels like yours, Valia‘s or Takis‘, and by making people see how good difficult dogs can become, I might rise awareness. That‘s enough to make me happy.
    Probably only a drop in the ocean, but still better than nothing.
    And: I‘m never going to get that pure bred poodle I‘ve been dreaming of for all of my life, but I‘m always going to have an adventurous journey, which changes myself, as a person.

    I'm sorry to hear Valia's having such a stressful time in Greece. Greece is a country which is difficult to say the least to get through to these people and the ones in Crete to spay and neuter their animals or as they like to say castrate! The hunters and Farmers there are non-compliant and cruel!!! So I'm sure Valia's problems are complicated by the disrespect these people have for their animals. Tell her not to give up❣️
    I am poor, but I did send you $10and if we could get all of your subscribers to send $10 we would be on a more successful basis. If not $10, $5 whatever they could spare.

    I've been donating for about two years now to you guys! Love what you do. Rescuing is painful and hard and draining, but it's also incredibly rewarding and the love you feel from an animal you have rescued is monumental. People in the States who deal with animal cruelty cases, dog fighting, hoarding...the aftermath is just so hard and tugs on your very soul, but, getting to know you are the reason that creature gets to be healed and live a better life is enough for people to go on. If she really wants to understand a world of hopelessness, there are those who rescues farm animals from slaughter house auctions. That's easily the most endlessly heartbreaking thing to keep going back to, knowing the fate of the rest of the animals, knowing there are no animal cruelty laws for the meat industry, though we've fought for some for dogs and cats. All rescue is worth it. Keep on fighting.

    Animal rescue pulls at your very soul. I know honestly right now I could not do it, as I would feel as Valia does (I couldn't finish listening to her as I was in tears). But you do make good sense Viktor. At the end of the day you ALL are making a difference at least for those who are saved. Plus with this YT platform & so many others who use this platform you all are bringing awareness and hopefully more action to the plight of animals. Hugs to you and give one to sweet precious Apollo for his surgery tomorrow. Hope Rio is doing better too xo

    It is very emotional work to try to help and rescue animals we love. I try to remember a saying in difficult times: The animals you rescue may not change the world we live in, but you have changed the world for the better for that dog or cat. And that makes it all worth while to get up to do it again and again and again. Bless all of you who save so many of our fur babies and give them their lives back. Thank you.😻💋🤗💖

    Omg i luv every word u said. I cant tell u enough what an amazing human being u are and that u made ur point very well. Every living creature is worth saving even if we cant save them all. Humans and animals alike. I hope this lifts ur friend's spirits cuz we all get discouraged, but when we realize what u just explained and that every SINGLE life is worth it, i trust she will realize her value and worth and all the positive things she has and will do. Luv and support. This is who we are!!

    Thank you for a wonderful video. Its true that you can be pulled in the direction of negativity when you see the suffering over and over again, i get that all too well, but there is always a little hope with each life that is saved. I want to save them all but in reality it wont happen but we can all do a little bit to help and try and make the world a better place for our animals xx

    Thanks Victor. I had not thought of it that way, and that's what is great about "learning" from these videos and others experiences... but one has to be open to accept the lesson. I see you are right about social injustices, it's all about being positive, taking satisfaction in our small victories and putting our resources toward what matters to us. That's only one reason why I support you (however small) on Patreon. It's my part towards the larger effect of doing good where it matters, I urge others to support this channel also. Plus, having lived in Torrejon while stationed there for 9 months, I have a special warmness towards the people and country.

    Valia, 💜 listen to the love of your friend that has been where you are. Take the encouragement and keep going. You can't save them all but you can save some. What a blessing to the ones that you do help to rid them of infection, parasites starvation, and all the other afflictions that they go through. The peace that you bring to their lives and when you can re-home them it's great for those. In life we all can only do what we can do and that needs to be our best. Love and hugs. I hope you find your peace.

    This is the difficult thing, to be at peace while knowing the world as it is. Agreed, that few, if any problems have been solved by humans, but we can work in the direction of making something better. The world is full of suffering, and that is not likely to end in the human lifetime. We just have the situations around us, and that is what we work with. If we can reduce suffering just a little bit, that is enough for a person.

    Viktor, you are spot on! Humans are responsible for all the ills in the world, inhumanity to animals, greed, selfish absorption. We are the worst predator. Nothing is safe, no one is safe. The animals and children are so deserving of better. God speed! We volunteer hoping to make a difference in the life of someone or something. When we leave this world, we have an obligation to be the best we can be and do the best we can do to others including all animals. Valia is a godsend to animals. You are a godsend to animals. Embrace your love and conviction.

    Everyday I spend 4 hours crocheting and sewing beds, coats, pouches, snoods , nests. These items for rescue dogs, cats and wildlife. Sometimes it just depresses me. I can never work hard enough to help all rescuers and save wildlife. How can we change the laws? How can we stop cruelty? How can we educate people to protect our fellow beings? We can only do our best and every effort each special person offers makes a difference.💖 Viktor, Valia and Takis are my heroes. 💖 What you do makes a HUGE difference. Sending Valia a big hug 💖 Love from Australia.

    For Valia I would say that you make an enormous difference for the pets that you CAN help. When I started fostering dogs, I was overwhelmed with the need every time I went to the shelter. Per my situation, I can only foster one at a time. It killed me to leave wonderful pets behind, and I struggled with this until I realized that I had to respect the limitations I have, and focus on preparing each of my fosters as best I could for a happy, healthy permanent home. We cannot save them all. It simply isn’t possible. But we CAN keep trying, and save those that we can. Big hugs to you. Please don’t lose heart.

    Hi, Viktor! Thank you for what you said. It was really meaningful. Although it focused on the reality of the situation, it was also about hope and possibility.
    Valia, I hope that you feel encouraged by Viktor's words. An old saying that I heard says, "Whoever saves one life, it's as if he (or she!) save the entire world." It's always important to do what you can do for each individual soul, because every animal you save is a world full of love and life in itself. You have been saving the world again and again, and you didn't even know it! Stay strong, Valia! And be happy!❤️😊❤️🐶❤️🐱❤️🐴❤️

    Understand why Valia is so depressed, I get that way to. It does seem like it’s never ending heartbreak. I will never understand cruelty towards others, especially children & pets. I do what I can in my neighborhood, hard when you’re old & on a fixed income & taking care of other family members. I support in the ways I can, so many in this world need help. God bless all of you who try & ease the pain of others. Much love sent to you & Valia , keep up the beautiful work you do❤️🐶🐱

    I life in Denmark 🇩🇰 we don't have dogs living on the streets, but many adopt dogs! Here you can get in jail or big fine, if you aband your dog. There the dogs must be chipped, by the breeder before you can sell them. I know that people have to follow the rules before it's even possible. It must be about tradition sadly.
    Hope for all dogs 🙏🙏❤️❤️🐕🐶

    There was a little boy walking along an ocean beach at sunset. Every time he saw a starfish that had been washed up by the tide, he picks it up and flings it as far out to sea as he can. Someone else on the beach said, "Hey, kid, why are you doing that? You really think you can make a difference?" And the little boy throws one more starfish into the water, and says "Well, it made a difference to that one."
    Valia, Victor, everyone - each of the animals you have saved is one more beautiful living creature your kindness made a difference to. I see the way the animals respond to your loving hands. I see the triumph of a dog who's so sick and weak and injured that he can't even stand up and walk. But then I see him recovering from his problems and frolicking in the sunshine with the other animals. Every little thing you do to restore the soul of one of these sweet beings MAKES A DIFFERENCE to the entire universe. The more love there is, the better place the world becomes. Showing love the way you do *MAKES THINGS BETTER* - it's not a hopeless futile effort at all. And you are being a good example to other people. Draw strength from the love you have put into the world. Have a sandwich and a nice cold drink, and maybe even a nap. You deserve to be rewarded for your work.
