    Thank you for your compassion and love for God's critters, His beautiful creatures. I've learned so much from you about animals . I'm a retired nurse and caring for people and animals has been my passion. Keep up the good work. God bless you

    That was a very enjoyable talk with Jeff. I love the idea of living and caring for the animals in their own natural habitat. What a great life! He reminded me of a quote I recently read calling the animals the children of nature. We can learn so much from the animals if we would only take the time to listen.❤

    Dr Willen, Jeff was so interesting to listen to. You could see the passion, the love and the nurturing in his soul. Dr Doug, just like you’ve said, if you’d be hurting that goat 🐐, why would it be following you cause you’ve helped and he felt safe around you. I’m sure every person, including myself who was adjusted by Dr Doug would want to stay forever in his office cause he helps with his awesome 👏 magic hands. He’s also the nicest, the kindest with the most beautiful heart ❤️ person I’ve ever seen. I like how Jeff after bonding with those raccoons 🦝 keeps bonding with different animals and they love him. Thank you 🙏 for everything that you do, I always see your love, passion and how you enjoy doing your job, have a nice day doc.

    One thing I know in this life for sure: animals are Never expendable. I learnt that through my parents, but also from Simon Cowell, the founder of Wildlife Aid Foundation in the UK. He was a trail blazer in the wildlife world, sadly, he passed away from cancer today. On a bright note, these amazing people who help, who fight for and who rescue wildlife, these are the ones who can help educate others, and show an incredible side to our nature and wildlife! Wildheart Sanctuary is heading in the exact same direction as Wildlife Aid was! May this wonderful man far surpass his vision, just as Simon has 💖

    Jeff’s story was great. He has such diverse experience and a cool background. I liked the story with Tessa and how he got into the animal rehabilitation work that he does. Cool stuff! You’re a natural interviewer too, Doc. I have about 25 jobs open at my company. I might have to hire you to do some recruiting for us. 😂. 👍🏽 Take care.

    We all kill to eat, even people who kill a plant to eat. The point is that we are greatful each day that God has given us this awesome steer to eat or this awesome spinach plant to gobble up. animals are just as important to eat as plants, just so you know you are killing it either way to eat it

    I love animals too but I also love to eat steak, cheeseburgers, pork chops, deer meat, frog legs, crab, I love it all. I’ve been very poor and was glad to get a rabbit, squirrel or groundhog to it. I couldn’t ever be a vegetarian or vegan. No way.

    You guys had me until "vegan diet" was pushed. I started a carnivore diet a few months ago. For two more nths it felt like I was wrapped in a warm comforting blanket. I'm an avid Gardener and canned/froze my harvest. Grew my own herbs also. I also ate too many non-nutritious carbs and I had to stop this. I had damaged my gut and soon that destroyed my digestion. Eating just red meat stopped all my symptoms within 3 weeks.
