00:00This is the talk of the town on how to give and take care of the new lion cub in Manila Zoo.
00:08What should be the process of taking care of an exotic animal like the lion cub?
00:15To answer that, we would like to welcome the Regional Executive Director, Attorney Michael Drake Matias
00:21from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, National Capital Region.
00:27Good evening and welcome to Dapat Alam Mo.
00:30Good evening, Ma'am Susan and to all of our viewers and listeners.
00:35Okay, yes.
00:37Okay, sir. What are the requirements that zoos need to take care of this kind of animal?
00:44To take care of wildlife, we require a certificate of wildlife registration
00:53to establish its financial and technical capability.
00:58So that the wildlife can be taken care of.
01:04Director, can this be taken care of even if it's just at home?
01:08What should be prepared for the lions or even tigers?
01:14Not everything is allowed unless you will be able to prove to the department
01:22that you are technically and financially capable of taking care of it.
01:26Especially when we mentioned that if it's a lion or a tiger,
01:31considering that it will have an impact not only on the wildlife but even on the public.
01:38Sir, the wild instinct of animals does not disappear.
01:41What should be prepared by the caretakers of big exotic animals so that they can be saved?
01:49Hello, sir. Hello.
01:50Hello, sir.
01:51Yes, sir.
01:52What should be done by the caretakers of animals so that they can be saved
01:56because these animals are big and they need to be taken care of?
02:00According to our regulations, it is required that the welfare of the animal should be taken care of.
02:07Like the condiment area or the care of the animal should be free to move.
02:16This is one of the things that we consider when we do inspection of areas that are breeding or caring for wildlife.
02:29For example, in general, we have the Animal Welfare Act that is also being monitored
02:37by the Department of Agriculture to the Bureau of Animal Industries.
02:43So, it is really necessary to have the ability to fight.
02:46So, when you get a permit, you will look at two things.
02:49Let's repeat.
02:50The first is financial capability and the second is the space that the animal will put.
02:58Attorney.
02:59Hello, sir.
03:00Attorney.
03:01Yes, sir.
03:02Yes, sir.
03:05Just another question.
03:06When it comes to caring for this kind of animals, we can say that there are seven Siberian tigers.
03:12Al Timplamalon, who considers the tigers as small animals.
03:24Aside from bonding, there are also some skills that tigers can learn.
03:28It's amazing and scary.
03:30To know the story, we will watch live from Davao Occidental, Al Timplamalon.
03:36Good evening to you, Al.
03:40Good evening, ma'am and sir.
03:44Al, where did you get the Siberian tigers that you are taking care of?
03:48This is from the crocodile park in Davao.
03:52Then, the owner bought it.
03:55So, you are the owner.
03:57How do you take care of such big animals, Al?
04:00Isn't it hard?
04:02It's not hard.
04:03The first one that came here was Thor.
04:08I took care of him for three months.
04:10Then, I gave birth to him.
04:12The second one that came here was his mother, Athena.
04:16Then, I gave birth to him.
04:21This is his son.
04:23This is five pieces.
04:24This is his son.
04:27How much do you spend on feeding them, sir?
04:32Every day, 45 kilos.
04:3440-45 kilos every day.
04:37What kind of meat?
04:39Pork, beef, chicken?
04:41Chicken, pork, then, rice chicken.
04:43Sometimes, I feed them with beef.
04:46Are these tigers used to humans or did you get them when they were big?
04:51They are used to humans.
04:52This is a safe place.
04:53You can only get close to it from the outside.
04:56I'm the only one who can get inside.
04:58What are our safeguards?
05:00Because they are wild animals.
05:02If they are irritated, angry, or grumpy, what can we do?
05:09If you are not used to tigers, you should not go inside.
05:15Like me, because this is how I am.
05:17I will go inside at any time.
05:20I know how they are.
05:22For other people, it is not allowed.
05:25How long did it take for you to get close to them?
05:31You know that they will not harm you.
05:33How long did it take?
05:35When I got here, I really held the tiger because I love animals.
05:39Really?
05:41Yes.
05:42When I got here, I really held the tiger because I love animals.
05:47Are there times when they are wild?
05:53Yes, sometimes.
05:54Sometimes, we take care of dogs and cats.
05:56Yes, sometimes.
05:58Okay.
06:00For me, nothing has happened to me yet because I'm still learning.
06:05We've been together for a long time because we've been together for 10 years.
06:09Yes.
06:10Al, how can we escape from tigers?
06:12What can we do?
06:14The tiger's cage is really safe here.
06:18They can't get out.
06:19It's really safe.
06:20They can't get out.
06:21They don't bite or bite other people, right?
06:26No, they don't.
06:27The tiger's cage is really safe here.
06:30It's their home.
06:33There you go.
06:35How many? Seven?
06:36Thank you so much, Al.
06:37Thank you for sharing with us.
06:39Where is it?
06:40There you go.
06:42It's big.
06:43How old is it?
06:45This one?
06:46This one is 51 months old.
06:48One month?
06:49So, it's still young?
06:50It's still young.
06:52It's still one month old.
06:53Did your tigers, Al, declod?
06:55Did they remove their nails?
06:57Nails?
06:58Or did they still have their nails?
07:00Yes, sir.
07:01Did your tigers, Al, declod?
07:03Did they remove their nails?
07:04Or are their nails still there?
07:05Yes, sir.
07:06We didn't remove the six tigers.
07:08We already removed the tiger's father.
07:11Oh, it's gone.
07:13Okay.
07:17It's beautiful.
07:18Thank you so much, Al, for sharing with us your amazing story
07:23on how to take care of your amazing tigers.
