00:30I just noticed this increasing momentum for the campaign and people were trying to get

00:37things done for Sammy, get the word out. And I noticed that Gulf News is doing a lot, probably

00:41the only media thing that is doing a lot. So I thought like, you know, rather than remain

00:45in the groove, you need to do something different. The objective is that more people hear about

00:49it. And I noticed that a lot of kids are into it and I fervently believe that kids should

00:53know about it because, okay, the generation, our generation, even I'm young, but our generation

00:58are doing stuff for conservation. But the kids should know more. And when I noticed

01:02that kids are into it, I thought, okay, why not make a simple song, like, you know, something

01:05that could catch on like an anthem. So if it could, it might actually add momentum to

01:09the campaign. So basically it's all for Sammy.

01:21We are all human beings. I think it's just a matter of time. Dubai is a busy city and

01:27people just need to realize that there is something beyond the busy daily routine and,

01:33you know, set aside time for thinking, okay, there are things other than what happens in

01:38the city daily. There is a shark at Atlantis. It is caught. It's captured. This is going

01:42on. They need to know. They do care. It's just a matter of getting the word out to all

01:46the people. We can't even think of Sammy dying in captivity. We just want her to be back

01:51home. And if something like that happens, then it's going to be real bad. It wouldn't be good.
