1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:10,759 Speaker 1: Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey, they're happy fourth of July. America's 2 00:00:10,759 --> 00:00:13,119 two hundred and fifty years old. I hope you and 3 00:00:13,199 --> 00:00:15,720 your family have an awesome Fourth of July and a 4 00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:20,000 great weekend. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. 5 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,480 All right, how about two German shepherds. They started acting 6 00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:26,480 strangely near the side of the shed. The dogs, Maya 7 00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:30,199 and Live, were sniffing and scratching. The owners couldn't see 8 00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:31,760 what was going on. They went to investigate, and they 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,159 found two tiny kittens tucked away inside. The owner's posted 10 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,560 the video online with the caption the girls made quite 11 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,799 the discovery this weekend. Good nostrils save lives. Many people 12 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,439 on the internet invoked what the Internet calls the cat 13 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,359 distribution system. If you're not familiar with this, it is 14 00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:49,560 a theory that cats find their way to you when 15 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,840 you've been chosen, whether you ask for a cat or not. 16 00:00:52,439 --> 00:00:54,880 The owners reported the kittens were quickly taken to a 17 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,799 local woman equipped to take care of them. They've been 18 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,200 checked by a vent and are healthy and safe. Meanwhile, 19 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,640 in Argentina, the Jaguars are back. No, not the football team, 20 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,599 the actual Jaguars in early May, tour guides were leading 21 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,000 visitors through Ibera National Park when they spot out a jaguar. 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,879 His name is Ambu, a young male born in the park. 23 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,760 He was the first wild jaguar seen in that region 24 00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:20,239 in seventy years. Seven decades ago, jaguars were pushed out 25 00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:23,319 because of logging. What happened since is the result of 26 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,799 decades of slow conservation work. Rewilding Argentina has brought the 27 00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:32,200 jaguar population from zero to fifty. Park ranger Victor was 28 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,840 there when Ambu was spotted. He described the moments, saying, 29 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,640 after more than seventy years about of the presidence of 30 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,239 the jaguar here in the wetlands, seeing it again and 31 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,359 its natural habitat is truly historic. The arrival of the 32 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:45,200 jaguar to this place is very important, especially this stage 33 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,239 of conservation, because it's a predator that we were missing 34 00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:52,000 here in the wetlands. We've been seeing many kapabaras, caymans 35 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,480 and different animals that complete the ecosystem, but we were 36 00:01:54,519 --> 00:01:58,640 missing him, the top predator. Two high schoolers started with 37 00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:02,159 a snapchat message and they wound up in front of 38 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,840 the Colorado State Senate oh No what's going on here? No, 39 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,080 it's pretty cool. Erica and Dominic sophomores at Cherry Creek 40 00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:13,000 High School in Aurora. They overheard classmates talking about try 41 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,800 and pass a bill, and they had reached out to 42 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,080 Erica to find out what kind of change they wanted 43 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,000 to see in Colorado. They landed on sustainability, specifically a 44 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,639 policy called skip the Stuff, a simple idea that restaurants 45 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,080 and delivery apps would stop automatically including single use items 46 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,560 like plastic utensils, napkins, straws, and Connoment packets with every 47 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,280 order unless you ask for them. You know, I really 48 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,840 like this idea. I always feel bad when I order 49 00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:39,039 stuff and I have like seven things to catch up 50 00:02:39,039 --> 00:02:40,240 and I don't know what to do with them, and 51 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,680 they put them in the fridge till my wife throws 52 00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:44,159 them at it's just waste. So good job by these 53 00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:46,919 two students, Dominic said, we drafted the bill entirely on 54 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,800 our own, at least to the best of two high 55 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,960 schoolers' abilities. In Red Bank, New Jersey, they have a 56 00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:55,000 similar ordinance and saw a ninety four percent reduction in 57 00:02:55,039 --> 00:02:58,280 single use cutlery. Restaurants save money by not handing out 58 00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:01,919 items that could thrown away customersp accumulating that famous juncture 59 00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:06,199 of random plastic spoons and ketchup packets unless plastic ends 60 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,280 up in the landfill. Yep, yep, yep, Dominic said. The 61 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,159 businesses win they don't have to give out products it 62 00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:13,199 won't be used. The consumers win because they don't have 63 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,400 to throw away clutter in their house. Love it kids, 64 00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:18,479 All right, Let's check in on Jackie and Shadow. They 65 00:03:18,479 --> 00:03:22,199 are bald eagles living in Big Bear Valley in California, 66 00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:25,759 San Bernardino National Forest. The eagles of a twenty four 67 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,080 hour live stream that's turned them into Internet celebrities. They've 68 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,639 hatched eggs, raised eaglets, and built the following people all 69 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,159 over the world. Now part of the valley where they 70 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,439 hunt is slated to be developed into luxury homes. Some 71 00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:40,560 fourth and fifth graders in Danville, California, are like no, no, na, 72 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,639 na na. Their teacher, Sarah told ABC News. I started 73 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,879 sharing the information with them and they all felt passionate 74 00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:48,879 about it. They were like, what can we do? So 75 00:03:48,919 --> 00:03:51,680 they did everything. They wrote letters to community members, celebrities 76 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,800 and lawmakers. They posted flyers, they picked up leaves, washed cars, 77 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,240 held big sales, set up lemonade stands. It eventually became 78 00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:02,439 a school wide campaign. The nonprofit Friends of Big Bear Valley, 79 00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:04,400 which runs the Eagle Live stream, says the land is 80 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,240 being threatened by development unless ten million dollars can be 81 00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:10,360 raised by the San Bernardino Mountain Land Trust by July 82 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,000 thirty first. They describe it as the last undisturbed shoreline 83 00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:16,759 on the lake and they've only raised like two and 84 00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:19,800 a half million dollars, So I don't know rooting for you, 85 00:04:19,879 --> 00:04:22,879 guys if you want to help. Friends of Big Bear 86 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,720 Valley as the fundraiser running through July thirty first. In 87 00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:30,639 British Columbia, the community rallied together to help a family 88 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,600 find their missing dog after a highway crash left everyone 89 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,360 fearing the worst. Deira and Sharon were traveling when a 90 00:04:37,399 --> 00:04:39,480 pickup truck forced their vehicle off the road. The car 91 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,879 rolled over and then when everything settled, they were Australian 92 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,959 shepherd Daisy was gone. They started looking for Daisy, couldn't 93 00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:49,839 find Daisy. First responders convinced them to go to the hospital. 94 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,839 Doctors determined the injuries weren't serious. They were discharged and 95 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,879 they went back to looking for Daisy the dog, No 96 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,079 Daisy the dog. Volunteers searched on foot. Others provided thermal 97 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,839 imaging drone. Four days after the crash, one of the volunteers, Tracy, 98 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,000 felt compelled to search one more time. Return into the 99 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,199 crash site. She focused on the immediate area. The pickup 100 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,000 truck was still there. Inside the truck Daisy. They called 101 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,480 the owner. Daisy immediately recognized the owner and began whimpering excitedly. 102 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,319 The dog appeared unharmed. Glad everyone is doing okay, and 103 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,480 those are your fine the good news stories for today. 104 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,360 Take it easy with the fireworks, folks. Leave it to 105 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,519 the professionals. See you tomorrow.
