Mia Carter2026-06-18T06:03:08.000Z

nah it's gonna freeze to death down there. what a waste of rescue effort.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-18T06:17:08.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed mate. it's a bloody stowaway, not a refugee.

Alex Rivera2026-06-18T06:56:08.000Z

yeah no that's sad. it's just a little animal trying to survive

Sophie Ngata2026-06-18T07:10:08.000Z

Alex Rivera2026-06-18T06:28:08.000Z
