00:00We have to ask him, Mr. Juha.
00:05He is a doctor.
00:07So when he came to you...
00:10It's okay.
00:12Hold him.
00:14He is playful.
00:16He is sitting like this.
00:18This is him.
00:20He must have been rescued.
00:22When I came to know that he was in a safari in a cage,
00:28I saw that he was stressed.
00:31Obviously, it is wrong to separate a small child from his mother.
00:39And these people do the same thing, which is also in the edible duty.
00:42And this is wrong.
00:43Morality is also wrong.
00:44And so is the law.
00:46So he was definitely stressed.
00:48After that, we treated him here.
00:51Now he is better.
00:58He was fed by his mother.
01:17So she picked him up and gave him a gift.
01:20He had to be brought to the hand field.
01:23We already have other children here who breed.
01:27We bring them to the hand field.
01:30Our veterinary staff feeds them.
01:33We are feeding him the same way we feed others.
