Wasn't there a movie about this a couple years back?
The movie, "Big Miracle", seems to have been based on a real event known as "Operation Breakthrough". There was a time where something like this would have the entire world holding it's collective breath and doing all it can to save the animals. Today, hardly anyone knows it's happening. 😢
Thank you! There's no way I was going to come up with that name on my own.
