  1. America needs to take better care of Puerto Rico

  2. the sad part is animals cant defend for themself, humans always do horrific curel things to helpless animals.

  3. They, the entire island, didd not get the help they needed after hurricanes.

  4. NBC guess what corp news outlet is considered to be the leader in dividing the country, in a recent survey, not including the lowley msnbc , of course,

  5. PR is a sh** hole. Cut it lose and let them fend for themselves.

  6. Thank you for getting these animals out and into better homes to live out their lives.

  7. They must have suffered and many must have died since 2017.

  8. So sad. I wish i could do something, ill try.

  9. Mundi weighs more thah 1400lbs, more like 14 thousand. Hope they all love the sanctuary.

  10. I’m so happy for the animals

  11. I pray these animals make it safely!

  12. No Mrs if all the animals would have died? It would have been part of an infamous chapter in Puerto Rican history.

  13. Save the animals and protect them, where we can, until the situation changes, because it will.

  14. We need to give them freedom or bring them into the gang. Their call. Same for all territories. Do we know their will? Bring them in or allow them to go, when we write the new Immigration Policy. It is time, and we should outsource writing immigration if Magas are not up to the task and only plan to play fascist games.

  15. Thanks to all who've worked to save these animals. Hope they settle into safe, peaceful new homes quickly.

  16. I would be devastated, angry and frustrated if the zoo I grew up visiting, closes…but happy for the rescued animals….

  17. Bring them to Colorado – yay!!!!

  18. I'm so glad that they are safe!:-):-):-):-)

  19. What do you call a prison for animals? 🦓🦒🦚🐘

    A Zoo!

  20. just stop taking them out of the wild

  21. Coqui can't go 🐸
    Long live Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

  22. Need to make Puerto Rico it’s all country man that plays it’s just a mess!
