Well, at the very least, you don’t continue to let them do the same things they can no longer do, up to their good normal standards. You don’t let them keep doing things that would embarrass themselves.

Very sad. Prayers for him and for his family.

I hope this horrible disease is conquered soon.

True. And Jill Biden should be thoroughly ashamed of herself.

I think that it was he who referred to cockroaches as,
“God’s clean up squad!”
Jack Hanna should be always reminded, as are we all, of the joy he brought to his Zoo visitors and TV viewers. So sorry to hear of his “stepping away.”

From all appearances, Jack Hanna has had a life full of service and joy, no doubt with some bad times and heartache thrown in. It’s sad for any life to end with dementia, but I salute him for having a blast for 74 (or 76 ...), and sharing his positive energy with animals and people too. Godspeed, Jack Hanna.

“Dementia is rarely verifiably diagnosed.”

With people like....oh I don’t know..Biden for example, it’s hard to tell if they have dementia or are just shitheads.

You look at him and it’s obvious his mind was extremely active; highly intelligent. I don’t get it.

Yes, I know several people who were intelligent, creative, engaged, extraordinary in many ways - - and they came down with it. Tis a puzzlement, as the King of Siam would say.

Frightening. What causes it? what prevents it?

Hanna also showed America how to take care of our animals, to treat them properly.

I only wish he could have done that with some Americans and illegal aliens we have now re treating other people and animals humanely.
