Speaker 1: Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey, they're happy fourth of July. America's
two hundred and fifty years old. I hope you and
your family have an awesome Fourth of July and a
great weekend. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories.
All right, how about two German shepherds. They started acting
strangely near the side of the shed. The dogs, Maya
and Live, were sniffing and scratching. The owners couldn't see
what was going on. They went to investigate, and they
found two tiny kittens tucked away inside. The owner's posted
the video online with the caption the girls made quite
the discovery this weekend. Good nostrils save lives. Many people
on the internet invoked what the Internet calls the cat
distribution system. If you're not familiar with this, it is
a theory that cats find their way to you when
you've been chosen, whether you ask for a cat or not.
The owners reported the kittens were quickly taken to a
local woman equipped to take care of them. They've been
checked by a vent and are healthy and safe. Meanwhile,
in Argentina, the Jaguars are back. No, not the football team,
the actual Jaguars in early May, tour guides were leading
visitors through Ibera National Park when they spot out a jaguar.
His name is Ambu, a young male born in the park.
He was the first wild jaguar seen in that region
in seventy years. Seven decades ago, jaguars were pushed out
because of logging. What happened since is the result of
decades of slow conservation work. Rewilding Argentina has brought the
jaguar population from zero to fifty. Park ranger Victor was
there when Ambu was spotted. He described the moments, saying,
after more than seventy years about of the presidence of
the jaguar here in the wetlands, seeing it again and
its natural habitat is truly historic. The arrival of the
jaguar to this place is very important, especially this stage
of conservation, because it's a predator that we were missing
here in the wetlands. We've been seeing many kapabaras, caymans
and different animals that complete the ecosystem, but we were
missing him, the top predator. Two high schoolers started with
a snapchat message and they wound up in front of
the Colorado State Senate oh No what's going on here? No,
it's pretty cool. Erica and Dominic sophomores at Cherry Creek
High School in Aurora. They overheard classmates talking about try
and pass a bill, and they had reached out to
Erica to find out what kind of change they wanted
to see in Colorado. They landed on sustainability, specifically a
policy called skip the Stuff, a simple idea that restaurants
and delivery apps would stop automatically including single use items
like plastic utensils, napkins, straws, and Connoment packets with every
order unless you ask for them. You know, I really
like this idea. I always feel bad when I order
stuff and I have like seven things to catch up
and I don't know what to do with them, and
they put them in the fridge till my wife throws
them at it's just waste. So good job by these
two students, Dominic said, we drafted the bill entirely on
our own, at least to the best of two high
schoolers' abilities. In Red Bank, New Jersey, they have a
similar ordinance and saw a ninety four percent reduction in
single use cutlery. Restaurants save money by not handing out
items that could thrown away customersp accumulating that famous juncture
of random plastic spoons and ketchup packets unless plastic ends
up in the landfill. Yep, yep, yep, Dominic said. The
businesses win they don't have to give out products it
won't be used. The consumers win because they don't have
to throw away clutter in their house. Love it kids,
All right, Let's check in on Jackie and Shadow. They
are bald eagles living in Big Bear Valley in California,
San Bernardino National Forest. The eagles of a twenty four
hour live stream that's turned them into Internet celebrities. They've
hatched eggs, raised eaglets, and built the following people all
over the world. Now part of the valley where they
hunt is slated to be developed into luxury homes. Some
fourth and fifth graders in Danville, California, are like no, no, na,
na na. Their teacher, Sarah told ABC News. I started
sharing the information with them and they all felt passionate
about it. They were like, what can we do? So
they did everything. They wrote letters to community members, celebrities
and lawmakers. They posted flyers, they picked up leaves, washed cars,
held big sales, set up lemonade stands. It eventually became
a school wide campaign. The nonprofit Friends of Big Bear Valley,
which runs the Eagle Live stream, says the land is
being threatened by development unless ten million dollars can be
raised by the San Bernardino Mountain Land Trust by July
thirty first. They describe it as the last undisturbed shoreline
on the lake and they've only raised like two and
a half million dollars, So I don't know rooting for you,
guys if you want to help. Friends of Big Bear
Valley as the fundraiser running through July thirty first. In
British Columbia, the community rallied together to help a family
find their missing dog after a highway crash left everyone
fearing the worst. Deira and Sharon were traveling when a
pickup truck forced their vehicle off the road. The car
rolled over and then when everything settled, they were Australian
shepherd Daisy was gone. They started looking for Daisy, couldn't
find Daisy. First responders convinced them to go to the hospital.
Doctors determined the injuries weren't serious. They were discharged and
they went back to looking for Daisy the dog, No
Daisy the dog. Volunteers searched on foot. Others provided thermal
imaging drone. Four days after the crash, one of the volunteers, Tracy,
felt compelled to search one more time. Return into the
crash site. She focused on the immediate area. The pickup
truck was still there. Inside the truck Daisy. They called
the owner. Daisy immediately recognized the owner and began whimpering excitedly.
The dog appeared unharmed. Glad everyone is doing okay, and
those are your fine the good news stories for today.
Take it easy with the fireworks, folks. Leave it to
the professionals. See you tomorrow.
