He is broad­cast­ing it on inter­net to attract the public's atten­tion to plight of wild ani­mals in pri­vate Ukrain­ian zoos, which do not get enough fund­ing.

Railway Therapy Practiced in Indonesia Posted: 06 Aug 2011 12:06 AM PDT While it might look like they are protesting against something or staging a gruesome mass suicide, the people of Rawa Buaya are actually looking to cure their illnesses by laying on the train tracks. In the Indonesian town of Rawa Buaya, people believe that electrical energy carried by the railroad tracks can cure disease. From young children to old folk, they all lie on train tracks passing through their settlement, hoping the electric energy from them will cure their various sicknesses. Not even the potentially lethal trains passing on opposite tracks don't seem to be scaring these Indonesians away.
