Thanks for your comment, Antonio. I'm also very glad that there are sanctuaries where at least some of these animals can be rescued.

Thanks, Jacob and Ashley. It was several years ago, so I don't know if he is still living given his age. But at least he had a nice home there.

Stunning spotting, Maria! I'm sad to hear he was injured, but glad he is under close watch at a sanctuary.
