What Now? with Trevor Noah
Bertie Gregory: Saving the Animals (Even the Ones That Are Assholes)

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Bertie Gregory: Saving the Animals (Even the Ones That Are Assholes)

The vast, vast majority of the time, it is because the human has done something wrong.

They have done the wrong thing.

And what I would say to sort of, I guess, humor your thing of, are some animals assholes?

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Bertie Gregory: Saving the Animals (Even the Ones That Are Assholes)

Animals have personalities and some are incredibly intelligent and they do have bad days.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Bertie Gregory: Saving the Animals (Even the Ones That Are Assholes)

in the morning and it's, it's very polite and does its thing and you're there and it's there and happy days.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Bertie Gregory: Saving the Animals (Even the Ones That Are Assholes)

And then this afternoon, you know, it might have- He woke up with his girlfriend.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Bertie Gregory: Saving the Animals (Even the Ones That Are Assholes)

Maybe it had his ass kicked by a bigger elephant or whatever.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Bertie Gregory: Saving the Animals (Even the Ones That Are Assholes)

And then, and then it's a completely different animal.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Bertie Gregory: Saving the Animals (Even the Ones That Are Assholes)

Now it's a single elephant with a huge memory.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
