That is absolutely lovely - just to be able to stretch his legs, feel the grass, smell the air, listen to natural sounds and other animals. There are many similar stories and they are all wonderful.

That’s a big pussy cat to get attention from.
I’m amazed that Virginia McKenna didn’t get knocked over. 🙂

Animals, if necessary, should be kept in sanctuaries (I believed they are called) and not in cages of any kind. All animals can't make it on their own, and if they are left as very young, help may be necessary

Some animals are so endangered, we may have to intervene - not that that has always been the reason for keeping animals. I do think though that many people are involved in rescuing animals from circuses and similar arrangements, and surely that must be a very good thing.

I just read that a herd of Caribou from Labrador has gone from 800,000 in 1996 to 6,000 in 2016. 😳

Adams said the Central Arctic and other herds in the region that have experienced recent declines all reached historic highs prior to their drops.

I don't know why they reached 'historic highs' but when you overwhelm your niche, yeah things get rough for a while.
