the animals are gradually prepared for release into the wild. >> we rescue thousands of animals everyear. we cannot possibly keep them all. there's areas of forest that we have wiped out all the wildlife within that. and some of these areas, we are protecting. it's essential that wild animals live in the wild, that they don't live in cages. why the hell should we want to keep wild animals in cages? they should be where they need to be, where they genuinely want to be. however, we must first make sure that that area is safe, and also that they can survive in the wild. >> this is the angkor region, in northwestern cambodia. there used to be thousands of pileated gibbons in these forests. and the jungle around the famous angkor wat temple complex was once home to a wide variety of animal species. today, there are hardly any animals left. wildlife alliance wants to change that and has released a gibbon pair. the arboreal acrobats from the phnom tamao sanctuary were released here around a year ago. they're under constant observation by a gamekeeper. >> at the moment, we don't want the anim

animal. let me go into a little bit of detail about what those terms mean. first off, a service animal is an animal that is trained to provide a specific service related to the individual's disability. while a support animal offers mere emotional comfort just by being present with that individual. that comfort is due to a disability related to reason. that distinguishes and support animal from just a general pet because there is that disability connection. both of these animals can be considered a reasonable accommodation for a person with a disability. when we are talking about housing, a simple term to use to refer to both animals is assistance animals. so, if a person is applying to a unit that has a no pets building or living in a unit that has a no pets building and need to file accommodation request, the status for usually accommodation to be to contact the landlord of the property management and this can be done verbally and/or in writing. it's a good idea to do it both and if you have

from certain conditions when involved in animal shows. animal welfare laws are difficult to enforce for these traveling shows because many of them move between jurisdictions so the best way for us to send a strong message that we do not support the use of animals, especially for entertainment puchs is to ban these in san francisco. not concluded to monkeys, elephants ferls those not in compliance with the law could be sentenced up to one year in jail and a fine. for example, even if you google certain images if you can handle it, it's quite sad to see these images. this often results in physical injury and extreme cases, death of chronic stress and trauma also has physical and psychological health on the animals. in addition to the animal's health, some of these shows also endanger trainers and the public. for example, there has been incidents where the elephants have trampled their trainers. a chichl has bitten their trainer and tigers and zebras have escaped from their quarters. they're up to 11 months of travel for a year. animals trav

this is because animals are crowded together with no room to turn around. you can kind of liken it to a ghetto or badly-run hospital where everybody's crowded together, there's no room to turn around, there's nobody there for clean-up, and waste just kind of gets everywhere. so when you go to the slaughtering house where if you think about it one cow slaughtered every 12 seconds, there's not a lot of time for clean-up. so a lot of this gets mixed into what we're eating, and it gets packaged. now, i know what you're saying, the usda puts stamps of approval on everything that we eat, but in actuality the usda never looks at the majority of the food that we eat. they are allowed to put the usda or fda stamp of approval on our food without actually inspecting it, and this is because they have a plan on paper. now, we all know between plan and implementation there's a lot that happens in between that doesn't always work out so well. and this is why we are seeing such an epidemic today. we are -- there's actually been a study by the university of arizona which ha

and in some ways animals don't add that much to the functioning of that world. so, if you ask historically what underpins ecosystem function on this planet, the real workers that make this planet function are the bacteria. now, why should we expect that tiny, fragile organisms like bacteria should actually leave a signature in the geologic record? and the good news is that they leave quite a signature. for example, this rock that we are looking at here was deposited about 3 1/2 billion years ago in what's now south africa. and, interestingly it carries physical and chemical signatures of biology. it's probably a little bit difficult to see, but there are some wavy and bulbous laminations, and those are features called stromatolites. narrator: stromatolites are rock-like structures usually formed by the trapping binding, and cementation of sedimentary grains by microorganisms. dating back 3.5 billion years, they constitute our earliest and most pervasive record of life on earth. i think if you only had this rock to work with you might be hesitant to even discuss

use under the animal rule. your colleague was before the committee as part of an oversight hearing. human efficacy studies are not feasible. fda's animal rule is important for such products which is why i emphasized the importance of finalizing the animal rule guidance before this committee. as far as i can tell there has been no further movement on this issue since that hearing. i would like to ask you, when is the animal rule guidance going to be finalized as required by law? >> let me first begin by saying thank you for the work you've done to advance public health preparedness and the development and availability of important medical countermeasures. the animal rule is an aspect of this that is key. we need to develop countermeasures against certain threats where the disease may not exist in nature and we would never want to expose people to the disease to actually see if the new drug or vaccine actually works. we have taken the animal role very seriously. it is one of those areas of regulatory science that
