We just learned that the TV program Animal Rescue this weekend ran a special edition featuring the winners of the International Fund for Animal Welfare's Animal Action Awards. The program is now online at this link. The photo above is a screenshot I took this evening of the Web page with the clip featuring the ranch.
There are a couple of steps to take before you'll get to the video.
When you bring up the Web page from the link, a regular Animal Rescue TV show will start playing. You'll need to click on "Specials" in the bar under the screen. Then you'll see a thumbnail photo come up underneath that says "Animal Rescue -- Special Edition." (You can see it in the screenshot above -- the group hug photo.) Put your cursor over the photo and it will say "IFAW Awards 2007." Click on the photo and it will load the video in Flash.
The entire program is about 45 minutes. The first segment is about The Turtle Hospital in the Florida Keys. Then the segment on the sanctuary starts about 9 minutes into the video and runs for about 5 minutes. If you don't want to sit through the first segment (although we would recommend it -- they're doing fascinating work with sea turtles), you can simply mute it and let the Flash video play in the background for a while. Because it's Flash, once the program has been running for a while, you can always grab the slider control and fast forward or rewind to the start of the piece on the ranch.
The camera crew filmed the episode on us back in July, when it was hot and very smoky from the forest fires here in the northern Rockies. So that's what all the haze is you'll see in the video.
Happy viewing!
Yea Baron! I, too, would love to see a TV special on Animal Planet or a DVD for sale about every aspect of the ranch. I try to be frugal but I would gladly pay $20-30 for a DVD to play at home any time I want. It would be a great way to introduce new supporters to RDR as well--seeing the daily operations of your wonderful ranch!
Congratulations again on receiving your award!

What a fabulous segment! Definitely worth watching the whole program, a few times over at that. I love seeing the RDR animals in movement and play!

The was a wonderful program to see...but way too short. I'd love to see a 2+ hour documentary on the ranch and all the animals and people. Is anyone working on that?

We saw this when it aired in Portland, OR., and it was wonderful. The Turtle Hospital was really cool! Of course, RDR was our FAVORITE!
