Pen, the ex marine has guts and charachter, literally prepared to put his life in extreme danger to save his animals and workers. He said he would not leave without them. They will make a movie about him one day. Essex Tom would be perfect for the part.

Does anyone think that we should be saving people and not animals?

Save as many animals and humans as we can ... I can't imagine what it is like to be torn from everything you know to start over in a foreign country so wildly different

"A five year old waving frantically at you or a friendly looking dog.

This summarises it succinctly for me and I love animals.

Given that dilemma and only one option under the pressure of time (no time to negotiate etc) and guns on the horizon..

I would rescue the child and feel guilty forever after but would hope the dog got away. I could not choose the alternative.

I could not act in any other way.

think its an example of someone becoming fixated on what he or she is doing and not seeing the bigger picture.

Yes, its right to be concerned for animal welfare but its also right we help those who helped us and who may be at risk. Limited time frame, limited in aircraft and also stretching the troops on the ground who have to guard the aircraft and Marshall people.

I would choose people over animals.

I believe it was a commercial flight. His staff all had the necessary paperwork to travel to UK but were denied entry to American controlled area due to last minute changes by US Government.

The thing is - it was only such a limited time frame because the us and uk govt and allies made it so.

It was known in April that the allied troops were leaving Afghanistan - plans should have been made then - and by now we’d have airlifted every person and animal who needed to be evacuated.

Even if we’d assumed the Afghan authorities would defeat the Taliban - once it became apparent that this wasn’t the case the allies did bugger all until well beyond the 11th hour. In the first few days after the Taliban took Kabul I think I read that one plane left for the UK?

The fact is that the US, the UK and other allied governments will have the blood of many thousands of people AND animals on their hands in the coming months.

Take the child, and explain the dog is her comfort and she'll carry it.

If absolutely pushed however and it has to be one or the other, then the child goes and the dog stays.

The dog potentially is a food source, if things descend further in to oblivion, and it may feed some starving people, so whilst not a morally nice move, some pragmatic good could come out of it. Sorry Rover.

I do admire the guy a lot, and I do understand that he raised the money for his private flight for him his staff and all the animals but, there were only a limited amount of slots at Kabul airport so listening to one of the military guys on the radio it was clear that Pen and his campaign were a pain in the ass to the authorities. I do hear what he said about humans not being able to travel in the hold, these planes were not carrying cargo, the animals could have gone in there, not sure right now where they all are

It was only him on the plane as the staff and their families weren't allowed to travel.

Cat. It was sold in the UK during the Second World War and called Gutter Rabbit. Everyone knew what it was. It’s quite difficult to tell the carcasses apart after the head and paws have been removed.

I'm not sure he will lose support over the voicemail and he handled himself far better than I think I would under the circumstances, knowing a civil servant was holding back the authority needed to get my plane in and out of Kabul.

Alright?".

He continued: "I will get my staff out of here and I'll get so many other people out of here on this flight and then the dogs and cats are going in the cargo hold. Nobody can sit in the cargo hold, only the animals."

That is pretty much spot on in what he said. I am sure I would have said a lot worse! He chartered his own plane, he did so much to get his animals and staff out without impacting the ongoing military efforts to then be delayed by bureaucratic bull is such a shame.

These animals were four days in carrying cages in hot conditions then on a noisy aircraft. Now they are in quarantine for four months. They must be so traumatised. Would it have been more humane to euthanise them in Kabul ?

When you see that hundreds of people couldn't be evacuated, including children, the state response has to be to save people before animals. From what I understand, the guy ran a completely private initiative so you can argue that's his call, as long as it didn't interfere with the other operations and prevented people to be evacuated.

You can also argue that the more intuitive things to do, if you are there and able to charter a plane is to volunteer your service to the government.

But we can all waffle as much as we want, we are not there in Kabul.

A life is a life. Why specifically is a human life more important than another creatures?

No seriously, tell me.

Why are self aware extreme criminals jailed while animals are euthanized? What specifically, other than being of the same species makes us view human life above others? Is your reasoning fact, emotional, or opinion?

Let's keep in mind that people are responsible for this whole fucked up mess in the first place, people on both sides and all race and religion.

Because my view emotional and opinion is I don't view any life (including my own) any more important than another - outside of natural and instinctual self preservation.

I would have done the exact same thing as he did, saved both within my own power, focusing on those closest to me first.

Youve made several posts about how dangerous adders and sharks are - and recently one about about re-widling Lynx's. my observation from these posts is that you are not in favour of these animals being in our country. In your opening and following post, you praise this person for saving 'animals' Generally

How would you feel if this person was saving snakes, sharks and Lynxs's or similar from a war torn area and bringing them to the Uk?

I suppose it depends what's wrong with them. I wouldn't want any animal to suffer. You'd think the people who looked after them over there would know if they were sick or not. And how to deal with whatever it was.

There was never going to be a good outcome to this sad mess. “War” my arse, it was an invasion, and the people of Afghanistan have been let down horribly by the invaders who had promised a new way of living.

The cats and dogs thing is a sideshow, but how anyone could choose animals above humans is beyond me.

Does anyone think that we should be saving people and not animals?

I think he should do what he feels like he needs to do. Who are we in life if we don't answer our calling!?

Gorgeous work."

Did you think his threats to “destroy” an official were gorgeous work too?

Great that the bloke loves animals, but let’s not make him out to be some kind of a saint

Don't forget the extreme situation he was in. He was potentially facing, and his staff, and his dogs, the wrath of tribal groups. Cut him a little slack

Fair point, but by the same token, factor in his training for dealing with stressful situations. Remarkable work, but I can’t just airbrush the bollocking and threatening of an official.

The cats and dogs thing is a sideshow, but how anyone could choose animals above humans is beyond me. "

The guy had 180 empty seats on the plane because officials wouldn't let them on the plane, also plenty spare seats for other Afghans were offered but not taken.

Animals went in hold where people cannot sit.

Why don't you question why flights left virtually empty?

Brilliant that he's back in the UK, if there's three things we don't have enough of in this country it's cats, dogs and wankers.
