- Sailing to OFF GRID Remote ISLAND LIFESTYLE
We sailed our live aboard catamaran deep into the remote reaches of the Indonesian Archipelago Anambas Islands where a former sailing family are slowly creating an incredible off grid , sustainable, net zero, raw food, decentralised lifestyle for themselves. Together they are mastering the techniques of a life tuned to nature, dependent on their natural environment and their own nutritional instinct for survival. Join us as we take a most epic look into a lifestyle that is becoming more attractive to many in this rapidly developing world. A family creating their own perfect life in one of the worlds last underdeveloped paradises.

BACK STORY
In 1997, after rowing at the Atlanta Olympics, Rob rowed a tiny 7m (22 foot) plywood boat 2,500 miles from Tenerife (Canary Islands) to Barbados (Caribbean). It took six weeks for Rob and rowing partner, Phil Stubbs, to complete winning the inaugural Atlantic Rowing Race.
Skip forward to 2014 and, married with three children, Rob and his wife Rachel purchased Javelot, a 43 ft Fountaine Pajot catamaran. Armed only with Rob's 3 years of racing P class yachts from the age of 11 to 13, and Rachel's non existent sailing knowledge, We set off to learn the ropes of ocean sailing. We broke stuff, replaced stuff and got to know their boat before heading offshore with the kids, Finn (then 13), Declan (then 11) and Ivan (then 8), in tow. Through trial and error we have become confident wayfarers, kind of.
The plan? To sail around the world.
Part of the journey will be retracing Rob’s eldest brother Kerry’s travels at sea. Using Kerry’s original letters from the 1970’s we hope to retrace his movements from Australia through Indonesia and South East Asia to Cambodia where Kerry’s life was cut short after straying into Cambodian waters in 1978. Kerry and two friends were attacked by a Khmer Rouge gun boat, captured, tortured and executed. www.brothernumberone.co.nz

Fascinating way of life, certainly challenges one to think more about self sufficiency and less consumerism.
Yeah, (raw) food for thought :-)
First 60sec I thought, poor buggers, they isolate themselves on a remote Island in the middle of nowhere to get away from everyone, & bloody Kiwis turn up. Then I heard Airbnb.
Rob does his best to look like his paying attention, while thinking, did I just pick flowers up of the ground to feed chickens 🤔🤣🐔 No cooking chooks is going a bit far.
That's it for this week, fingers are still recovering from last one.
Kiwi's and Aussi's are in every nook and cranny. So you can go visit them too Lana. Callousing will form soon enough :-)
@@TheCruisingKiwis My days of picking flowers from the ground for chooks is well behind me. I'm going after that bunny skinny job.
@Lana_Warwick should you change your tune the rewards are many and varied eg my minds ear still heard those non English dosing chooks: 'mmmmm male papaya flowers'
Your videos are always so well done. Thank you for bringing us along. It is appreciated.
Thank you, this one was a bit different huh.
Fantastic editing Rachel. Not sure this is the life for me but would we a wonderful place to visit and experience for a week or two.
Visitors can choose a raw or cooked food diet while staying there so no hardships needed if you choose to go.
@@TheCruisingKiwisI am interested in visiting. I’m looking at different dates right now.
@mayiakashmurr3000 that's wonderful to hear. Did you find them through us? If yes, please let them know.
What an interesting way of living one’s life. I do wonder what the motive was to change to this type of living. You did a marvelous job of telling the story she had to offer. Strong work. You happened up on an interesting project.
Yes , it is intrigued for sure. Thanks Preston.
What a unique place 👏I love how you guys will try anything !
Gotta give that raw rabbit liver and kidney a go for sure. I'm glad they didn't butcher a chicken though!
Thank you, its always great to see how many different and intersting ways there are to live this life, It must have been a relaxing stay, a well thought out video.Thanks for sharing your time there. I missed the Finn update though.
Thanks Frances yes it divine and calming.
Hmmm. Interesting. My friends in Te Pahu are developing a food forest on their place. Growing lots of fruit and veg. It is one of mygoals, moving tomthe boat, to live more simply.
A fruit forest is a great idea. One of the drawbacks living on a boat is not having a garden.
The Kiwis have done it again… another exceptional episode! Rachel, I know exactly how much time and effort it takes to put together a documentary style episode like this, but you've done an excellent job, and your hard work paid off.
Rob - you're a brilliant interviewer. Would love to see more episodes like this.
Don't know if I could stomach what they eat - but what an interesting life they lead.
Thank you Bernard. Yeah Rachel did another great job but I didn't do much for the IV, Antje was an excellent talker.
Thanks guys. You do visit very interesting places. What a life!
Thanks Mary this one was exceptional.
DECLAN HAS MOVIE STAR GOOD LOOKS !!!
He sure does. But don't tell him that!😉
Years ago, I met a guy down here, in his 80s, an older ex commune leader, who eventually passed away at 90. He was right into consuming raw plants, and I think this was what gave him a long healthy life. He became a liveaboard late in life....that's how I got to know him. But one of the raw plants he grew and consumed, was a tiny bit illegal. The point I'm making is that there are obvious advantages in having raw food. However, no to raw eggs, fish and raw bunny. Beef is ok. According to Dr Google.
Thanks for the upload. Take care and until next time all the very best.
Thanks Bryan, did he simply eat the illegal plant leaves or inhale?:-)
@@TheCruisingKiwis Haha no comment.
Wow different but thank you for allowing us to see what alternatives in lifestyles are out there in the aquatic wonderlands, ok now hope Rob is good and not flowing from the wrong end 😮- Good to see that there are alternative ways of living out there. Not our cup of tea but hey you live and eat what you want to fore fill you way of life. Great to see what’s coming up next
It's certainly unique and not for everyone. I was all good with the liver thankfully.
Great way to live, very admirable. I'm not sure a whole lot of people would want to live like that. But I guess if you grew up that way it would be easy. I can't help thinking of a recent episode when Ivans pointing at the native forerst and saying "Ok we're just going to take those trees out and build a mc donalds. Balence in all things is good, and we do need to look after the planet a bit more. Great story telling folks. Thanks
Yeah, the raw meat thing is especially challenging for most. I do wonder if there is any benefit in eating raw meat though. The food forest is a beauitful concept.
Very interesting and of course another great video by Rachel. I think we can all find a piece of paradise somewhere, I know we have where we live. Thanks for the video.❤
Thanks Ginger
YOU VIDEOS ARE SOOOOOO WONDERFUL
Thank you. Did it make you want to eat the same diet this family on the island do?
Wonderful to wake up to your sailing adventures. Im on my way out of Norway, maybe Cyprus again. Hope for the best of luck
Safe travels.
If its at the island and bay I think it is, it is a fabulous anchorage and isolated location with wonderful nature all around, both above and below water. Looks like they are trying to make a minimal impact.
Moon rock really is a stunning spot Catherine.
That's the one. We enjoyed a couple of days anchored there a few years ago snorkelling, walking and enjoying the isolation. @@TheCruisingKiwis
Your video skills have greatly improved. Great story telling by the way!
Thanking you kindly 😍
Interesting video. What a beautiful place they are living in. Love the fruit forest not so sure about the raw meat.
You're not on your own there.
Yer don’t see myself eating raw meat
@marioncampone2362 that's understandable.
Interesting video ,thanks.
Cheers Keith.
This does inspire me to get a rabbit hutch. I've got chickens and ducks already. Think I'd cook them though.
Yes we prefer our meat cooked too but some wonderful messages in what this family are trying to achieve. The great thing about the rabbits too is they collect the rabbit's poos and wees and mix them with charcoal and soil fir instant compost.
I don't think I could live this lifestyle permanently but I would love to try it for a week or two best wishes to all from NY
Yeah, that alone would be enough to know if it was for you or a version of it.
Really appreciate Rachel more than i realized.
We all do.
Nice to meet you nice vidio
Hi there, did we meet you this evening?
Wow that place is (the island & the family) is very enlighten & proving that natural nature is knows best. Amazing love this post very motivating. Cheers 🙏😎🍻
It's an extraordinary lifestyle Wayne and could be replicated in most places.
Your kiwi boys are built like tanks for a reason. They eat what they want. Can't bring up big lads on fruits and raw meat. Great episode though!
Our boys eat way too much processed rubbish for my liking. More fruit and veggies would do them the world of good but we love our curry's too much to go completely raw 😊
As my boys ate a lot of bugger feed, I just provided healthy choices at home and sometimes believe it or not… they always enjoy peanut butter and celery or apples. Also their consumption of milk was amazing! They are in their 30+ now but are great eaters and happy to see their children accept healthy foods. Luvs❤
Bravo! My thoughts exactly.
Rubbish- you can definitely raise big healthy children on raw fruit/veggies, meat and fish!
YEAAAHHH LAMB ROAST WOOOHOOOO
I used to eat raw chopped beef when I was young and my would tell me to stop before I got worms.
I guess if I raised the animals and prepared it; things would be different but I like the enhance flavor of cooked meat.
GIVE IT TO ROBBIE!!! He'll eat anything>>>>>> hahahhahahaa. Seriously though, i am so very glad that you came together with this family. You just presented them to over 4,000 folks from around the World.... That is fabulous................ That young lady is very skilled with a butchering knife and both could out survive any city dweller in a pinch in Nature's City !!
Yes, Cosima's skill and knowledge was exceptional. Thanks Jim!
@@TheCruisingKiwis do your best to stay in touch with them. Trust me on this!!
@@jimshanks9495 sanctuary?
@@TheCruisingKiwis i might (with Our Lord's help, do just that. Live on a vessel and call an island,, port.
Awesome episode, guys! The raw thing I don't understand, we have been cooking our food for 10,000 years, and their was a lot of plastic and the machined stuff like the water pump, hammer and tools and such, but, still, making their own soil, growing and ranching their own food, that's awesome. The perspective is great, I think. Living off the land. But we do still want modern tech, why not? It is getting greener all the time, like the hemp batteries that will replace lithium. We are doing better and it will get even better. Anyway, thank you for doing this and, yet again, showing us a real story and insight other channels just don't tend to do. Thank You for your time and effort, sincerely.
Thank you very much! Very interested to learn more about the hemp batteries. It's a wonder plant 🪴
Wow
Never thought of eating raw meats, not even sushi - but the variety of fruits and raw meats on the table looked like a delightful, delicious buffet. I wonder if our ancestors ate that kind of diet 🤔
Awesome video 💕🥀
I do think of ancestors at raw meat at least occasionally. The further back you go the more certain that becomes.
Cool conversation, Antje has a lot of knowledge. One of our all time favourite anchorages, awesome to share some brief time with you there
When were you there Michael?
Doh!! Just figured it out! Sorry, I hadn't read the comment properly!
It was great to meet you guys ever so briefly too!
Well, this is different, I could do this life, as long as it included fire to cook my meat!! I love cooked steak, the smell of cooking meat is amazing
I think I'd be with you on that with perhaps the occassional meal of raw meat, if only to get potential extra nutrition from it.
I do agree with @OnTheFlipSide... this is a great way of living, inspiring, fully reconnecting with nature and a real healthy environment. Except for a bit of fire. It dosen't hurt a controlled fire, a bit cooked meet it doesn't destroy its natural properties and even its healthier. Same for the fish.
But for the rest, big Yay for them! Wish their example expands fast.👍👍👏🌾🌿☘️🏞
That was interesting but not for me. I'd rather be on the boat. Good video for sure. Did you know they were there before you arrived at the island? Do they own the island?
I can understand why you say that. We had a friend on board with us who felt very much the same. We had heard about them beforehand and made a bee line there, was very interested to see what they do and try the raw rabbit!
@@TheCruisingKiwis even the caveman cooked meat once they worked out fire......no sushi, no raw meat for this kiwi....
@SRM_NZ yeah I totally get it, although the Innuits in the hay day probably wouldn't because they couldn't.
Your videos are so organic unlike the fast food sythetic videos that polute CZcams.
Absolutly love these Geographical video's you produce 10/10. All my family has started avoiding processed foods as much as possible
Love the fast food metaphor in the context of the content. It is difficult to completely avoid processed food, but it can certainly be minimised. Thank you!
Meat on the BBQ taste amazing . I'm not so sure this lifestyle would work for me
Yeah, you're not alone there.
Never knew there were male and female papaya! I knew there were male and female holly bushes because we had some in our yard growing up.
Would love to visit here! ❤
And I felt the better person to be able to give them to the chooks. Happy days!😁
Super interesting episode, loved it.
Thanks Adele
Well, a very interesting video into a different kind of lifestyle, not anything I would be interested in doing, I do like my meat to be cooked, I am into the vegetables and things also, do like the different kinds of fruit that was there, just going to have to cook that rabbit and fish. I am not too sure Rob even cared much for the raw meat stuff. Lol.
Yeah the raw rabbit was 'ok' but I ended up cooking the rest in a curry and it was better than the chicken I cooked it with.
I would love 2 visit this place! Thank U 4 sharing. Safe travels ❤
You're most welcome. The Anambas aren't the easiest place to get to but is well worth the effort. You can join Antje and her family by booking a holiday at their airbnb. Type in Anambas Islands and say you are flexible with dates. They are the airbnb furthest east. The project is called EcoSymbiosis and the islands name is East Siantan. Hope that helps.
Not quite NetZero they have solar panels somebody had to make them. It takes a lot of different materials.
Based on that I suppose there's no such thing pretty much anywhere then.
Wish I could live there
I think many feel the same.
Wow interesting air BnB
I think with the right sauce all food tastes good
Soya sauce is great with mince and also sashimi tuna or any fish
Beautiful paradise with blue as blue waters.
So my take would have watties tomato sauce on all raw meats
Maybe it a kiwi thing ?
Thanks for sharing fantastic works on vblogs
Take care
Safe sailing
Cheers from the Tron team 😊😊😊😊
The trustee soy sauce, it works on everything. And the boys concur with the tomato sauce :-)
Very much enjoyed this. You told a real story that had depth, human values and great production values. It must have been a lot of work. If I may, one thing that turns me off a channel is when they place the "smily and funny" personalities over a real story. Dross over drama. Keep this up and I hope you get the attention you deserve.
Thank you very much Richard.
🙄 I'd gently step back, get on the boat and sail quietly away. Don't drink the coolaid.
😆
Fantastic place...however, imagine how amazing that fresh food would taste if it was cooked 😅😂
Yeah, most prefer cooked meat anytime. I do wonder though if there are any nutritional benefits from eating raw meat.
Most probably, they look healthy though. I would guess they deworm themselves more than we do.
@@farmer_sivno need to deworm the body expels the worms when you eat like they do .
I ate this way 8 years and regained my health in a month after a year and a half of being very very ill. It is an amazing life changing , eye opening , sensual , life affirming journey . I treasure all I learned and I am very proud of Anita and Roman for pursuing what they know can contribute to the health of mankind and the planet. Thank you
there is no such thing as a perfect life....dang..don't ruin my dream....lol
Dang, and in the first 30 seconds too. I'm sure your life is close to perfect 😊
An interesting way of life. One would have to almost completely change their way of thinking both mentally and psychically. I don't believe this life style on anything but a very small scale could successfully recessed. For this family this way of life seems to be groovy, but for the masses I don't think this would ever work. A nice bit of paradise of sorts to go too for a week or two.
Yeah, it's a difficult one to asses at scale, however, I do think the food forest the promote has scope to offer considerable value given the output of calories and, especially that grazing and other crops can be grown underneath. The raw meat thing is a no go for most.
@@TheCruisingKiwis I don't understand why they don't cook most of their meat.
@MrFroglips69 correction they don't cook any of their meat. For them it's about not changing anything from the way nature packaged it which allows instinct to play a rilke in food choices.
Cheers guys! 😊
Thanks Trev. We are off FB again!!
@@TheCruisingKiwis oh okay!
I always wonder what drives these people? Is it lack of money, being disappointed in life or really the principal? I guess a combination of these things... great respect but I really feel pity for the children. Thanks for sharing this experience.
Thank you. From what we could tell it was principal. She had tried a variety of diets in her early years and the raw food was the only one that worked for her.
Wow. I would love to try that … but not 100%. I’ve tried raw beef & no, though it was ground beef. I like my beef med rare…so maybe over time I would like it raw. I like sushi…so tuna & salmon yes. But other kinds I don’t think so. Raw veg’s & fruit, absolutely. Raw eggs…I’ve tried and nope, no way. Living on an island with solar & fresh water - a dream!
Lots of pros and cons with any diet Tammy. It's surprising how much raw stuff we eat actually.
Not sure i could eat raw food!
I think I could do occasional raw meat with a view to perhaps getting additional nutrition but would mostly be hanging the pot over the fire.
Is it not possible to dry the meat so that it would be like jerky in this raw food eating system? I might be able to handle eating raw eggs if they were beaten into an egg nog or protein drink. And maybe I could get the shaved raw beef down without gagging. The fresh slaughtered raw rabbit and raw animal organs - no go for me. I had a gag reflex watching you try it.
Thank you yes understand the gag reflex kicking in. Yes I wondered about dried meat but didn't think to ask at the time.
Interesting lifestyle. Unfortunately, I believe, we went past the environmental tipping point some time past and radical melting of the polar ice caps is self perpetuating. If true sea levels will rise even more dramatically and natural disasters will increase exponentially. It may be in 20 years that the best safe place to live is on a cruising sailboat. Think Waterworld light
Maybe, maybe not. I don't know and I don't believe anyone really does. I recall in the 1980s they were predicting sea level rise was going to take out coastal cities by 2000. Then they said it would happen by 2020. The scientists seem to get it very very wrong which is a confirmation that the science is never settled
@@TheCruisingKiwis Right, science can be all over the place. What I do see as a retired geologist are the ice cores taken that show an increase in co2 emissions rate in the last 100 years exceeds any point in the last 150 million. Weather pattern, natural disasters and massive reduction of the earths air conditioners, glaciers, are increasing at an exponential rate. Also, most important, my talking rock said so and she is never wrong. Fair winds
Looks interesting...although we didn't get any real sense of any hardship that they might have to endure. Seems like a very fragile way to live potentially. One bad storm and it's "start over", would be my guess. She also mentioned her partner. Is he still in the picture, and if so, was he just too shy top go on camera? Great video all the same. Thanks for sharing.
PS...how many paying vacation guests have they entertained? And how much does it cost to visit?
From what we understand, they don't get bad weather there about are 40 knots max. I'm sure there are exceptions though! Her husband is based in Bangkok. They had their first passing guests while we were there who ate cooked meat.
Very interesting 👌 very knowledgeable lady wow. How did they buy that piece of land and are the neighbors also foreigners? Just curious
Foreigners are not allowed to buy land in Indonesia. They have a lease arrangement.
But what is wrong with meat slightly seared just for a little flavor?? All this seems a little extreme though I agree in principle with all the lady said.
Rob: Your tact was measurable!
Best regards. P.s.: late to the show. I'd seen the title card "30 years RAW etc" with an unrecognized Hamill on the thumbnail and swiped passed not knowing it was TCK.... dw
Hmm seared meat yes yes. But raw was OK, actually. Might have to change the thumb nail. Thanks Daniel.
🤢🤮 O dear. Great story and I loved the episode. It’s a mind over matter thing eating raw meat I guess. On the upside I’d sure be skinny (ier) 😂. How actually amazing would it be if we as a species could actually be better than net zero 😮
Yeah that would be amazing. Food forests is worth investment me thinks.
:)
Now there is an enthusiast! With some good ideas, some of which might be taken to extremes perhaps. I'd rather eat my bunnies cooked thanks. There is a very compelling notion that learning to cook our meat was the trigger for a great evolutionary leap. More nutrition for less effort. Increased birth rate. An exponential increase in brain size, among other benefits. Each to their own however. 'An ye do no harm'.
Haha I don't think Michael douglas would agree with the boiled bunny. 🙂
Very interesting episode. Best wishes for the folks on the island but eating raw meat will eventually become a problem. There’s a lot of people in this world who’d love to force this lifestyle on everyone but I have no interest in such a lifestyle. Living in an open air structure might be enjoyable on an island with sea breezes - but not in Mississippi where even temperatures in the 70s (around 24 C) get unbearable when the dew point and humidity get above the 60s.
Yeah, the location they chose is suited to the structures they've built which could be adapted to local conditions as and where needed. I liked the idea of living off the land which doesn't mean one has to eat raw meat though I reckon occasional would have benefits.

Elaborate?
They should of named the girl Lenny, lol
Sorry, you'll need to elaborate on that one, I don't get it.
@@TheCruisingKiwis There was a required reading novel called Of Mice And Men about the great depression when we were in high school in the states. The big, retarded guy was Lenny and he was obsessed with rabbits and liked to pet them and stroke them until they died. If you want to see Lenny search "Lenny vs Curly" to get an idea.
"Tell me about the Raaaaabits"
Hi, thx again for that great video. I ve just seen the video of your visit at these very strange German Family. (i m german myself). I have to admit that german people are sort very extreme and its so
nice to see your kind of calm reaction to those german raw meat eating freaks. parts of their life style is kool, but its too much. i mean one has to be tolerant. but... i prefere your kiwi better. how is Finn doing?
Thank you. I think a little bit of occasional sampling raw meat isn't a bad thing but understand most would not be keen on that either.
FWIW some food for thought the innuits survived solely on raw meat that they would also ferment. The Western diet has caused big problems.
PS Finn is doing well.
@@TheCruisingKiwisThx for your detailed information. yes i m absolutely positve about what you ve been saying. but i dont like this kind of extreme stuff. it has a form of a cult. but then everybody should find their way to make him happy. I think that there are 3 things in life that should be balanced: 1. Food 2. Sport 3. Fun, social contacts, new impressions etc. and i think you ve reached a lot of it: what a great family and those wonderful kids.
@d.trance6637 thank you.
Decentralized living is the answer but yeh like my steak med-rare
Mmmmm med rare steak😆
@@TheCruisingKiwis just remember Dogecoin Dark😘
Looks nice..but nope…
It's certainly not for everyone. A great example however, of how people live differently around the world.
Can't help but to think sufficiently increasing the biodiversity would put an end to raw meat consumption.
I'm happy enough living in a smallish town. Keep telling my brother that Philadelphia is not the place for humans to live, no reason for him to live there, awful place to raise kids. He thus far won't listen. I would not live like this family but it sounds a whole lot better than life in a failed city. Also, for me, the climate would be wonderful, not so much here in northern USA.
City life can be addictive and hard to leave as can Country life once you've sampled it. Keep working on your bro.
PS maybe send him this ep and suggest going half way to this lifestyle
"raw rabbit?" no thanks im full.
please get her a knife sharpening stone.
It wasn't too bad but I cooked the rest in a curry and it was sublime.
Sorry, I can not eat raw meat of any kind I've tried and it comes up as quickly as it went down if not quicker. Also, internal organs cooked or not.
Totally understand that Marvin.
She really needs be challenged on this. 50% good ideas and 50% bad. No staple foods is good, raw fruits and veggies is good. Living in a tropical environment and eating raw meat is very risky. She does not control the birds that fly in from elsewhere. The potential for illness is very very high. So much of humankind's progress has come from science, understanding infectious disease, public health processes, etc. I recommend courses in tropical medicine, parasitology, and basic microbiology. Self appointed gurus can be quite dangerous.
Food for thought, thank you. Everyone needs to be challenged most of the time. It's worth noting Antje has lived a similar lifestyle in different locations since she was 19. She's done studies with scientists and written a book on the subject. It doesn't mean all she does is correct. Nothing is prefect but I think the way she is living is better than 80% of the western world, including diet.
I can live like that easily, but would rather become a vegan than eat raw meat!
I can understand but it really wasn't too bad.
Yeah... nah.
:-)
Raw beef
Yeah and raw rabbit kidney/liver etc. The works!😊
@@TheCruisingKiwis Almost like cannibals. I've heard that you can get really sick eating raw meat like that. That's really creepy! I bet they don't have that many visitors that partake.
@@robertlaird6746 it’s certainly not everyone’s cup of tea. However, they breed their own chickens and rabbits carefully to ensure they don’t get sick.
@@TheCruisingKiwis The hippie lifestyle with a twist. Not for me. The raw meat, not for me.
@@robertlaird6746 I think the raw meat lifestyle, although carefully studied and ultimately proved to be healthy, is not acceptable to many.
If your looking to find islands, you’d do better to look on charts than maps. 🙄
Go the charts!
It all sounded good until eating the raw meat thing.
Yeah, that's a no go for most.
it looks like she doesnt get many people to talk to.
She could talk if that's what you mean. Very informative and chatty. She had her first paying guests while we were there so hopefully more company to follow.
she had some good points like eat what your body feels like but i didnt see the chocolate.
i bet those kids have never seen a doctor, good on her.

ive just been in USA where the pharmacys are bigger then the supermarkets, whats that telling you.
illness is a growth industry.@@TheCruisingKiwis
@@simonhantler8062 lol the chocolate issue was mentioned many times in our discussions aboard.
I don’t get it , they talk about protecting nature and protecting their habitat and yet they have dogs and cats. Are they only concerned with the plant life and don’t care about native animals and birds destroyed by their pets.
I'm afraid I can't give you a good answer to that question ron because I don't know. Cats are endemic to South East Asia and very much loved here for catching rats and mice. I know one of the dogs swam to the island so I guess she chose that island as her home.
yeah...nah for the raw meat
Lot's dittos there.
Raw meat? That’s just gross
Yeah it seems so but in reality it's fine if not factory farmed.
