...now because they don't have badges and there's

00:00:14.180 --> 00:00:20.470
no there's no real uniforms we had some people come into the clinic and,

00:00:20.470 --> 00:00:27.060
they scared the stuff so I reached out to a taliban elder ...number I was able to get

and formally asked for protection and

00:00:30.900 --> 00:00:37.350
for permission to safely ...continue operations to continue

00:00:37.350 --> 00:00:42.640
evacuating the animals that needed to evacuate prior to our own evacuation is

00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:05.880

00:01:21.620 --> 00:01:30.080
...polite and I'm grateful for that right now becausethey don't have to be.

00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:33.890
And, it's very clear who's in our here.

00:01:33.890 --> 00:01:38.590
There is and if there's enough staff to stay with meand, ...

00:01:38.590 --> 00:01:44.140
I'll stay with the animals ...their identified there are there are no other rescues in town that could

00:01:44.140 --> 00:01:49.920

will be able to get a flight and put all our animals and people on it I'm not looking

00:01:54.580 --> 00:02:00.640

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.900
...data I worked very hard to create and

00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:10.830
...I am responsiblefor what happens to them and,

00:02:10.830 --> 00:02:14.730
