thank you hero rat
Be kind, spay, neuter, foster, adopt not shop!
Today the Hero Rat died. Rest in peace. Thank you for your service. Salute!
Rest in peace Magawa, so sad to hear you passed away, you will be remembered!
Magawa and his trainer make a fantastic pair! This is such a heartwarming story of care and dedication, thank you
Little hero and so cute with it . ❤️
Especially appropriate for Year of the Rat.
Yes. 2020 - The Year of Magawa
Thank you to everybody who left some lovely comments to celebrate the incredible achievements of Magawa! You guys are awesome 😊🙌
Thank you for helping us
Thank you for bringing such stories into the public and honouring even the smallest helpers. I can't imagine what it means to live in a place where a false step can instantly kill or cripple you, because of some war that's been over for years. And of course a mine doesn't care WHO stepped on it... There's a reason they are amongst the few weapons that many countries banned...
As for rats: They're brilliant little buggers. I owned pet rats for years (the small ones of course) and they kept surprising me. It amazes me that in a brain as tiny as theirs there's not just space for problem solving abilities that often beat those of dogs or cats, but also for a quite complex social behaviour AND quite individual "personalities". Hooray for giving them a chance to shine! :)
@@commanderkruge i love rodents
@@trevipp Me too. Especially all those like Rats or Squirrels or Otters who have little hands. They look like I imagine our ancestors once did (long before they became apes). If it's furry and has hands I find them adorable. :) And many of them are VERY clever for brains of their size.
I am so proud of my adopted rat Magawa, very well deserved!!
Congratulations to your special rat friend 🙏🐭😇
Well done magawa, the medal looks good on him
THAT’S MY BOYYYYY I LOVE U MAGAWA
Magawa definitely deserves it, and I really hope this brings APOPO more into the public eye. Gonna go buy him a treat for being such a good boy.
It's been a tough year...But 2020 is still the Year of the Rat.
Rats are so smart and amazing. They're so undervalued and underrated. I hope more and more people get to love them and stop their stigmatisation.
Thank you hero rat
Congratulations Magawa, you have shown the important relationship with Humans and all other animals.
This is such a heart warming story. Just read the NYTimes article this morning. Thank you Magawa and Malen for all your heroic work that saves thousands of lives in Cambodia. Congrats Magawa!!!
Thank you Magawa for your work! I hope you and your fellow HeroRATS continue to get the recognition and support you deserve! And so that you can help the people of Cambodia and others worldwide in living without fear of landmines. Truly deserving of the PDSA Gold Medal, and very fitting for year of the rat. Also the little medal looks lovely on Magawa's harness! :)
I love it how he says it “ a medal to a rat.” He has more medal/achievements then I was in the service. What went wrong?🤣👍🏽
That rat is my inspiration
Magawa wearing his little medal on his harness is one of the cutest things i've ever seen. What a beautiful animal and friend! I'm so glad he was so well looked after because he absolutely deserved it. RIP Magawa my friend.
I've just learned about this amazing creature. I've often told people that rats are one of the most targeted victims of human ignorance and cruelty and I hope his noble work and the high risks he runs serve to raise awareness to the value of these intelligent, sensitive creatures who even sing to the their partners!
Thank you so much for the precious work of your organization, I can't donate most unfortunately but I have shared this all over and will be sharing your videos from now on! Much love and respect from Brazil!
Well done Magawa! Such an amazing and adorable hero! He should get a superhero cape too for all the lives he has saved and plenty of rat treats too!
What terrific work from Magawa and APOPO! Thank you!
Thank you hero rat!
Awesome!!!
I hope Magawa is spoiled with lots a treats and toys!
Ive always felt sad when my cats kill rodents, but I feel even worse after this story!
This rodent has saved more lives, and does more for humanity than most humans will ever do in generations!
Instead of feeling sad you should do something about it, or keep your cat inside away from wildlife
Cats hurt birds more than rats tbh they are considered pest for a reason because they boom they fuck like rabbits and breed a shit ton. A cat won't do anything to rat population but they destroy birds horribly they cause massive habitat destruction to birds and small lizards.
"Our pets give us a reason to get up in the morning, a reason to carry on when things feel hopeless." Jesus, this has been so true for me during the pandemic. I have bipolar disorder, and even when I'm depressed I know that my rabbits need me to take care of them, which is sometimes the only thing I care about. And seeing how cute they are, seeing them happy, and petting them makes me feel better.
Brilliant, and thank you PDSA and Apopo for all your amazing work.
Long live Magawa
I sponsor Magawa for Apopo. What a wonderful organisation. I will send him extra banana money for winning the award. He truly is a hero.
I sponsor Magawa as well. I think he is a little Bodhisattva. He is truly a hero!
I sponsored him too while at APOPO in Cambodia this year. You go Boy!!
Love to hear more from Magawa! You are so important little rat and I hope that people can overcome their fear when they see that you do a great job for us! God bless you lovely friend!!💖
Amazing!
This is so beautiful. Bless all the heroic animals!!
You are deserved Magawa. Blessings from Hong Kong.
So well deserved. RIP Magawa you legend!
Rest in peace, little Magawa! Thank you for your bravery and outstanding service❣
RIP Magawa, you are a hero. We all love you
Well done little guy! Mission accomplished.

What a good boy
Rest in peace little Hero ❤
This is adorable
Rest in heaven Legend 💐❤️
RIP to a legend
Thank you Magawa ❤️
What a good boy Magawa is! He deserves his little Gold Medal. Animals are so misunderstood and no animal is more wrongly hated than the poor ratties. They are wonderful animals and have many excellent and unique attributes and so intelligent too!. I would love to have a couple of pouch rat rats for pets.
Nothing moves as much as animals 💚that serve people with all their wonderful,sincere,faithful hearts.Magawa is the sweetest and most devoted rat. Magawa was special.
Great respect and Best wishes from 🇵🇱🕊️🤝
#Animal in the service of human safety and protection
Thank you Magawa and all at APOPO! What an extraordinary animal hero! This made all teary but very heart warming ♥.
Please, bring Magawa to Colombia he'll surely do a better job here than the government!!! God bless all animals, APOPO and PDSA!
People kill each other and animals save their lives. That's oddity...
People kill animals too, while they save us, which is also odd, well to me anyway.
@@FujishimaAkiko it's not that odd if you think about it actually, animals kill other animals to curb potential challengers same with humans though we our far more intelligent our natural instinct is still the same wanting to be stronger than potential challengers, nothing will ever change i'm afriad that's why wars will go on forever and ever because it's just natural
@@shutup2751 I understand that, I'm 44, not a kid. :) It wasn't the point I was making though, but thanks. :)
@@FujishimaAkiko most animals dont save our lives and almost all animals kill other animals, just like we do. 44 or not, it didnt make much sense as a point.
@@davidl8759 You're saying things I already know... What is it with you dudes? Seriously...lol! Animals kill other animals for survival and to protect their own young and territory, it's not often they just kill for the fuck of it. Humans can't even let other humans have their own opinions about things without feeling like they need to explain already understood information. I only get this crap from guys too, the mansplain need is so strong... Just because YOU don't get my point, doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. That''s like me telling someone what they're saying doesn't make sense because I'm not seeing their point from my end. It may not make sense to you, but it will and does to other people. Your opinion isn't the end all be all. :)
Touchingly beautiful! Good jab, Magawa! I wish you days filled with love, peace & bananas!
Suuuuuuuuper 😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍 Viele Grüße aus Germany
Thank you Magawa for your service in saving countless lives who otherwise may have unknowingly stepped on and set these destructive devices off. Such a deserving HeroRAT .🥳🥳🥳
RIP Hero Cambodia Magawa😓❤️️
Rat: Saves countless lives, are honored with medals.
Me: Frozen pizza's, gaming and steam achievements.
He just retired. Godspeed Magawa. And thank you. Have a great retirement.
Amazing stuff
Mighty Magawa. Rest in peace little one !
Parabéns pela premiação! Que outros projetos surjam e permitam que os animais nos ajudem ainda mais..
I have 5 rats. They are so cute and smart. I love them! 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀❤️
What a beautiful rat!
Beautiful ❤✝️🕊🙏🏼❤️
RIP ❤️🙏🏼😭Magawa Cambodia thanks 🙏🏼
Legend
who they kidding ,they've been giving that award to RATS for years
Today he died 😌
Thanks for your bravery Magawa🙏🙏🙏
I wish him well
Magawa and HeroRAT initiatives will hold more significance if you go through the Cambodian history, especially the Cambodian Civil War in the 1970s.
I am speechless, I did not know Rats could do this
Awesome
I'm living in Cambodia. Thank you Magawa and Malen for making Cambodia safer. Enjoy your retirement Lok Magawa! Saum aukorn!
Rest in peace Magawa
RIP Magawa.
R.I.P. Magawa.
RIP Magawa
I guess I'll never look at rats again in quite the same way.
Magawa from Tanzania
search for it after knowing she/he died. run free magawa.
RIP little dude
Recognition definitely worthwhile, even for me who’s not a pet owner...
12.01.22 RIP Magawa 😭😭
Rip man
Please I beg, shut down all the rat poisoning factories all around the world. Look at how a rat 🐀 is saving people's lives in Cambodia. Please I beg.
APOPO also trained their rats to detect tuberculosis in samples of human sputum. The rats - Gambian Giant Pouched Rats - work much faster than lab testing, and have a higher rate of accuracy. With their human handlers, they've cleared almost all the landmines that were causing so much death and injury. They are some of God's humblest creatures, doing great good for humankind. They all deserve medals, and all the kindness and bananas we can give.
Grazie topolino
Ok this the coolest thing
「功德無量」👍✌️👌☝️🌹❤️🙏
And to all those animals being used in laboratories.
I hope we recognise the need to find an alternative to end them being sacrificed.
Better them than us
And how do humans treat animals? The plight of animals is insurmountable. Millions abused and killed daily and the list is endless. How sad.
Thank you to the rats and their handlers.
Now Rip my hero rat😭😭
not a word about Wojtek perhaps because in 1942, when the 22nd Altyleri Company joined the British 8th Army where animals were not allowed. He was promoted to be a corporal to circumvent the British ban
Hero Rats! Hero Rats! Armed with tiny claws!
Hero Rats! Hero Rats! working for mankind.
They are small, yet they are mighty, saving humans from themselves, from themselves...
There's a hero rat song for kids by Parry Grip on youtube.
Hi! Would it possible for me to donate from the US?
Hi Milo - Thanks ever so much for your extremely kind offer to donate to our Charity, it is most appreciated 💓
Unfortunately as you are based in the USA, we are unable to take a payment from you, the sort code/account numbers are set up differently abroad and our system would ask for a UK specific post code.
Thank you so much though, it's so sweet of you.
Take care, Nic😊
@@pdsa Thank you for clarifying that for me! I guess the most I can do for right now is spread awareness. 💙
Hi, could you send us a PM and we will assist you further or you could call our team on 0800 731 2502.
