Jesse Adams 创立了 RainCoast Dog Rescue Society(雷恩海岸犬只救援协会),总部设在温哥华岛上的维多利亚。
Jesse Adams founded RainCoast Dog Rescue Society, which is based in Victoria on Vancouver Island.
上周五,Adams 在 Facebook 上发帖称,他即将前往乌克兰东部执行救援任务。
Last Friday, Adams posted on Facebook that he was heading out on a rescue mission in eastern Ukraine.
据该救援协会称,两天后,一架 FPV(第一人称视角)无人机袭击了他用于运送动物的车辆。
Two days later, an FPV (first-person view) drone struck the vehicle he was using to transport the animals, according to the rescue society.
Adams 受重伤并接受了紧急手术,但医生未能挽救他的生命。
Adams suffered severe injuries and underwent emergency surgery, but doctors were unable to save him.
“最能形容他的就是:Jesse 是一股自然的力量,”维多利亚人道协会执行董事 Penny Stone 告诉 Global News(环球新闻)。
“The best thing I can say is Jesse was a force of nature,” Penny Stone, executive director of the Victoria Humane Society, told Global News.
“他的精力简直不可思议,一刻不停。哪里需要帮助,Jesse 就在那里。无所谓是什么地方。我是说,这从他去过喀布尔、多次前往乌克兰就能看出来。他就是哪里最需要帮助,他就去哪里。”Stone 说,Adams 总是挺身而出,为每一只动物都在场。
“He was unbelievably go, go, go. Wherever help was needed, Jesse was. It didn’t matter. And I mean, it shows in that he went to Kabul and he went to Ukraine a number of times. He was just like wherever they needed help the most.”Stone said Adams was someone who always stepped up and was there for every animal.
“当他在乌克兰时,我知道他在救老虎、狮子和各种物种,猪、山羊之类的,他会发帖讲这些事,挺逗的,我们会笑他干的那些事,”她说。
Get daily National news“When he was in Ukraine, I know he was rescuing tigers and lions and different kinds of species, pigs and goats and stuff, and he would post about it and it was quite funny and we’d laugh about what he was doing,” she said.
“但我是说,他就是那种人,哪里需要他,他就在那里。”Stone 说,Adams 还去过偏远社区,帮助那里生活的人们。
“But I mean, he was just that guy, where it was needed.”Stone said Adams also travelled to small communities to help the people living there.
“这是一个悲剧性的损失。他是一位真正的英雄。”Stone 补充说,Adams 留下的空缺将无法填补。
“It’s a tragic loss. He was a real hero.”Stone added that the space Adams left behind will be impossible to fill.
“他坚信每一只动物和每一个人都值得一个机会,他从未为弱势一方的斗争退缩,”她说。
“He just believed every animal and every person deserved a chance and he never backed down for fighting for the little guy,” she said.
RainCoast Dog Rescue Society 在社交媒体上发帖宣布 Adams 去世,写道:“在为动物福利服务的一生中,Jesse 在乌克兰前线为他的信仰献出了终极牺牲。”SPCA International 项目总监 Lori Kalef 表示,听到这个消息她感到震惊。“当我得知他去世时,我简直不敢相信,”她说。
The RainCoast Dog Rescue Society posted to social media announcing Adams’ passing writing, “after a life lived in service to animal welfare, Jesse made the ultimate sacrifice to his beliefs on the front lines of Ukraine.”Lori Kalef, the SPCA International Director of Programs, said she was stunned to hear the news. “When I found out he passed away, I just couldn’t believe it,” she said.
“我仍然无法相信。我觉得这还没有被妥善处理。”亚当斯因其同情心、勇气以及为拯救生命所付出的努力而被人们铭记。
“I still can’t believe it. I don’t think it has been properly processed.”Adams is being remembered for his compassion, courage and the lives he worked to save.
据估计,他和他的团队从这个饱受战火蹂躏的国家撤离了多达1000只动物,在国内还救助了数千只。“无论哪里有需要,杰西都在那里。”卡莱夫说。
It is estimated he and his team had evacuated as many as 1,000 animals from the war-torn country, including thousands more at home. “Wherever there was a need, Jesse was there,” Kalef said.
“将会留下一个巨大的、巨大的空缺。但我同时也觉得,这是一个会团结在一起的社区,尤其是在悲伤之时,以及出于对动物的爱。“我确实相信,会有一条前行的道路。”
“There is going to be a huge, huge hole. But I also feel that this is the kind of community that comes together, especially in the time of grief and the love for animals. “I do believe that there is going to be a path forward.”
