๐ท๐ท And the winners areโฆ the animals, and the people who love them. ๐ท๐ท
Tonight, as we celebrate 17 Awards from 17 Film Festivals around the world, we are reminded that every award on this page began with a simple storyโone animal, one act of compassion, one person determined to make a difference.
On behalf of AnimalZone, I want to congratulate our extraordinary production team: Harlene Conlin, William G. Conlin, and Gary Conlin, whose creativity, talent, and tireless dedication have helped transform these stories into award-winning television.
But the true stars have always been the remarkable animals who have touched our hearts and the incredible people who care for them. We share these honors with the sanctuaries, shelters, rescue organizations, conservation groups, veterinarians, wildlife rehabilitators, and volunteers who welcomed us into their world and trusted us to tell their stories.
From talking dolphins and rescued bats to lemurs, horses, dogs, cats, foxes, and countless other ambassadors of the animal kingdom, each episode has reminded us that kindness is a universal language.
These awards belong to everyone who has appeared on AnimalZone, supported our mission, watched an episode, shared a story, adopted a pet, rescued an animal, or simply believed that the bond between humans and animals matters.
Thank you for helping us turn compassion into stories worth telling.
The curtain may come down on award night, but tomorrow weโll be back where we belongโcelebrating the next animal, the next hero, and the next story waiting to be told.
With gratitude,
Arthur von Wiesenberger
Executive Producer & Host, AnimalZone
