- People forget, history repeats itself,
and while this may seem a foreign people in a foreign land,
and what does this have to do with us,
it wasn't that long ago that my great grandparents
decided to stay and died where they were.
And my grandfather came over as a child to the States,
and here I am.
But the place that I come from,
I can never go back to, it's not my home.
And now that's foreign to me.
And to think that this is happening
to another generation of people under our watch,
you know, we need to be on the right side of history here,
and we need to all do our parts and get involved.
Even if you think this is completely out of,
out of your universe, out of your sphere of reality,
it's not.
This is how it all starts.
So, we all need to, to pull together and roll up our sleeves
and do our parts.
Our part here is getting the,
getting the message out, and ensuring that people listen,
and hear the appropriate people.
You know, you told stories about the little family pets
that ran out and got scared and now are roaming the streets.
Those pets have nothing to eat.
And if they do have something to eat,
it's probably human food, which means that a human is
giving something that they could be feeding
to their children, or themselves, to a dog or a cat,
because of that human animal bond.
So, we're gonna be working really hard
with animal health companies across the globe,
and just good people across the globe,
to make sure that we get pet food into Ukraine
to the best of our abilities.
Work on things like antibiotics, pain relief,
blood products, bandage materials,
so people can take care of pets directly.
Those that are still there and have the capacity to do so,
to make sure that their hands aren't bound
for lack of materials, and we can get them those things.
And also make sure that we're both proactive and reactive
where we can be.
Getting QR codes to veterinarians, to post offices,
to gas stations, QR codes on collars.
So if pets do get separated from families,
there will be a way to reunite them, hopefully,
or at least to identify those pets one day.
Of course, it's being reactive because, you know,
several million people have left,
and pets have gone missing,
but we can be proactive
for those that have not yet left, or at the borders,
to make sure we distribute these things appropriately,
and, I think those are the three physical things
that we're gonna do.
And then of course, get word out as well,
and anything else that we can do,
and we learn along the way,
we'll be as nimble as we possibly can.
