Like many activists, Peter Egan found his cause by chance. When a labrador named Custard collapsed outside the Downton Abbey actor's house, his wife jumped into action, taking the animal to a vet, and eventually the family adopted the dog. For Egan, this moment opened his eyes to the crisis of surplus pets in the UK, and it served as his initiation into advocating for animal rights. Peter Egan joined host Jay Ruderman to discuss the great number of organizations and animal rights causes he supports, from Saving Suffering Strays, to Animals Asia, to Animal Equality UK. They discuss a campaign to protect stray animals in Turkey that Peter is involved with, the ways that animals care for their well being, and the many ways Peter's personal relationships with animals shape and international activism shape each other.

Now, Youth Climate Save boasts more than 70 chapters in places as far away as India and the U.K. Its members hold weekly Zoom meetings to plan fundraising and other actions youth can take online, as well as an upcoming vegan support group. A sense of urgency animates Butler, who cites research on how a shift to veganism can fight climate change. “That's basically what I've been focusing on, just talking about how if we don't start going vegan, we're not going to have a planet,” she says with sobering, wide-eyed earnestness. At age ten, Genesis became the youngest ever TedX speaker when she gave her inspiring talk on healing the planet through vegan eating. Now, she continues to advocate for animals through speaking engagements, social media, and has even started her own foundation called Genesis For Animals. Plus, she was this year's winner of the Lisa Shapiro Young Animal Activist Award, presented to her by Compassion Over Killing's Erica Meier!

Plus, she was this year's winner of the Lisa Shapiro Young Animal Activist Award, presented to her by Compassion Over Killing's Erica Meier! Genesis for Animals will be raising money for sanctuaries all around the world, and if they contact me like, “I have this horse and his hoof is broken,” I'll give them money so that they'll be able to take the horse to the vet visit that he needs. I have a website, genesisforanimals.org, and if you look on there you can donate because I'm putting in a lot of my money but there are a lot of sanctuaries that are going to contact me so I'm going to try to get as much money saved to donate. You can also help out with her organization by contacting her at genesisforanimals.org or my Instagram @gensisbutler_.

Leafleting for animals in a public place is a way to reach out to people, individually and directly, by giving them concise information to take away and read when they have time to contemplate the information. Leafleting is both an easy and a challenging way to extend our message – by challenging, I mean to the leafleter. Why? Because it requires approaching strangers with a brochure the strangers are not asking for and may not wish to receive. We are putting ourselves – and the animals we desperately want people to care about and help– in a position of being rejected, even taunted. In this episode, I discuss the challenges and rewards of leafleting for animals.

In this DairyVoice episode, Connie Kuber of Connor Agriscience interviews Hannah Thompson-Weeman of the Animal Agriculture Alliance.

Opting to take a holistic approach to care for your dog or any animal versus utilizing conventional medicine might seem too ”woo-woo” for some people. But not for Katya, Jenny, and this week's guest, Dr. Heather O'Leary, a holistic veterinarian with her own practice, TessaLoo Veterinarian Services, in Olivebridge, NY.Dr. Heather joins Katya and Jenny to share stories about how she came to be a holistic veterinarian and the animal who led her down this path. She also shares what practicing homeopathic medicine actually looks like, why it is both similar to and different from regular veterinary care. Noting the differences raises questions about whether or not this approach to animal care is equitable for rescues and shelters, for everyone. And this turns the conversation towards the best ways that dog or cat parents can advocate for their animal's care regardless of what kind of medicinal practice it is. Jenny and Katya ask: What should they look for in a veterinarian? What about when a holistic vet is not available? Dr. Heather answers: It is always a personal decision. You are the expert on your own pet. She'll soon be releasing videos to help more people have access to her type of approach.So if you've been wondering just what a holistic approach for pets looks like, you'll want to listen to this discussion! If you want to learn more about the challenges that veterinarians face day in and day out, Katya and Jenny recommend listening to their friends over at The Vets Unleashed podcast. Lastly, if you want to help support a litter of seven puppies that Katya's friend rescued from the middle of nowhere, donate to Better Together Dog Rescue and include the note, “Seven Pups from the Pines”.  Because it's all about saving lives here at TATCY, all of us in it together, with you.Join The Animal That Changed You community on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook -- we're waiting to welcome you!

We've got a TikTok superstar in the house today, friendos and friendas! Richard Jones is a police officer who works alongside two Pitbulls - his rescue Pitties, Ace and Jack. He has saved them, he has trained them to serve and protect, and he now shares videos of them to prove it. Not only are the videos of his dogs adorable and hilarious as well as offering behind-the-scenes insight into what it's like to be a copy, but his videos also show their off-duty lives. A dude and his dogs. Because they are also his pets, and the relationship they've built together is beautiful. Richard debunks the negative opinions about Pitbulls, demonstrating all the good they can do both as family members and as partners in fighting crime.In this episode, Richard tells us about himself and his dogs, but let's not forget his cat! He is an animal lover through and through, even when he faced challenges with his second dog, Jack, who ultimately launched his TikTok career. Hearing Richard talk about how he creates positive behavioral changes in his dogs and why dedicating his time to their training is such a worthwhile process truly filled our hearts. Because one thing is for certain: Richard embodies the importance of never giving up on another living being, no matter how hard it gets.This episode is all about challenging beliefs whether they're about certain breeds of dogs, police officers, or people who've made mistakes. It's about second chances and the rewards that come from doing the hard work you're called to do when you dare to care.  Ace and Jack are evidence enough that caring is the right move.Join The Animal That Changed You community on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook -- we're waiting to welcome you!

(Please note: the audio in the interview has some “Zoom twang.” Apologies for the audio quality.) Our guest this episode is Emily Moran Barwick, who will also be presenting at the Humane Hoax Online Conference on Saturday, February 26, 2022. Emily is an animal-liberation activist, educator, writer, artist, and international speaker. She founded Bite Size Vegan where she provides free educational videos, essays, eCourses, and resources on all aspects of veganism. Communication has never come easily to Emily as she is Autistic, but she credits her Autism for her deep and empathetic connection with nonhuman animals, and believes that by seeing the world differently, she's better able to help others begin to think differently. Hope and Emily dig deep into the humane myth and Emily's unique perspective on the issue. They discuss the contradictory nature of humane labeling and how even well-meaning animal and vegan advocates can fall victim to its allure. Resources:BiteSizeVegan.orgHumane Hoax Online Conference (2/26/22)Hope for the Animals Patreon Page

Happy Tuesday friends, we are very excited for today's episode. We had the pleasure of chatting with the one and only Jann Arden!Jann is well known for her work as an award winning singer-songwriter, as the star of her own TV show, as an author, and increasingly Jann is becoming known for her work advocating for animal rights. We jumped right in with Jann, and her passion for animal activism immediately shone through. Jann opens up about her personal journey into veganism and plant based living, and highlights how she was aligned with these values even from childhood.With all her passion for moving the world towards a more plant forward diet, Jann offers some advice and simple switches people can make to embrace a plant based lifestyle, whether it is one meal a week, or a wholesale change. We also cover a major passion project of Jann's which is a advocacy group that is working to ban the export of live horses from Canada. She has made it her duty to bear witness to the awful industry of live horse exporting that is happening right here in Canada, and to raise awareness to bring about the end of this process.We know you're going to be inspired by this episode, and by Jann's passion for this important work.As always, thanks for listening!Z&DLooking for a little more?

Spoiler Alert! If you haven't watched the wild ride that is Tiger King 2, go watch it on Netflix now. Today, our host Rebecca Lavoie is talking to directors Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin about all things Tiger King 2.When we last heard from America's most notorious big cat owners, Joe Exotic was behind bars. He had been convicted of animal abuse and planning the murder of an animal activist & CEO of a non-profit animal sanctuary, Carole Baskin. Jeff Lowe and Tim Stark formed an uneasy partnership to construct a new roadside zoo from Joe's animals. And the unexpected fame of the documentary series, and unwanted attention from the authorities, now unearths some stunning revelations. 

Creating Awareness of Animal Exploitation. The host for this show is Lillian Cumic. The guest is Amanda Fox. Oahu-based Amanda Fox, co-founder of the animal rights activist organization, Animal Rights Initiative, explains her approach to educating the public on animal exploitation and what you can do to help be the voice for the animals. Animal Rights Initiative is a group of activists urgently working on ending animal exploitation and suffering through the means of legislative work and street activism. Volunteers practice outreach to the public on the streets of Waikiki, educating them about living a vegan lifestyle, which means abstaining from all animal use, as far as practical and possible.

Earlier this year Norwegian born Samuel Rostøl decided to leave mainstream employment as a nurse so that he could focus all of his available time on supporting animal activism.   Soon thereafter, Samuel was invited to join Sea Shepherd in the Faroe Islands as they documented the annual Grindadrop or Pilot Whale hunts.  His footage has shone an even brighter light on the islands and albeit he casts an imposing figure, Samuel's approach to activism is far from that which most would assume.  During this episode Samuel explains the Grind, the animosity, violence and threats to kill and also the silent support and the reasons behind the reluctance of locals wishing the Grind to halt.On Sunday 12th September the Grind slaughtered 1,428 Atlantic White-sided Dolphins. Albeit this podcast is predominantly non-political I feel the need to include such activity to assist in creating a global response for the betterment of the animals involved.

Though almost everyone claims to love animals many of us still eat them, while most try not to think too much about the terrible treatment humans mete out to our fellow Earthlings. But beyond vegetarianism, veganism, and rescue pet adoption what's a compassionate person to do? Primates of the Animal Protection Party of Canada and their allies have brought this year's Animal Advocacy Camp to Victoria to explore just that. The ACC takes place this April 14th at Camosun College's Gibson Auditorium and features a number of keynote speakers covering a variety of topics. Tayler Zavitz is one of those and she'll present, 'Empathy as Terrorism? The Criminalization of Animal Activism in Canada'. Tayler's a PhD candidate at UVic's Department of Sociology whose research focus is the repression of animal activism and the criminalization of dissent in Canada. She holds degrees in Political Science and Critical Sociology, (with a focus on Critical Animal Studies) and is a current student scholar with the brand new, Animals & Society Research Initiative at the University of Victoria. She's also a reviewer for the Journal for Critical Animal Studies. Tayler Zavitz in the first half. And; Monday morning, missiles again flew into Syria, killing at least seven and wounding scores more. Though they didn't admit responsibility, Israel is implicated. Merely the latest in a series of unanswered military assaults on its neighbour, this latest comes at a critical point in Syria's long and bitter war. Over the weekend, US president Donald Trump promised "action" in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack against civilians in Douma, the last stronghold of pro-jihadist groups in besieged Eastern Ghouta. And, while Trump and his allies in NATO condemn without benefit of investigation Bashar al-Assad's government, Russia has issued its own Red Line, saying should any Russians in Syria come under fire Moscow will consider that an act of war. Eva Bartlett is an independent Canadian journalist and activist who has lived in and reported from Gaza and Syria over the last decade. She has been one of the few Western witnesses of the destruction of war from where the missiles and bombs land, and one of even fewer to fix properly the responsibility on those firing and dropping them. Eva is currently preparing for another foray into Syria, even as Washington's war drum beats louder. Eva Bartlett and back to Syria in the second half. And; Victoria activist and CFUV Radio broadcaster at large, Janine Bandcroft will be here at the bottom of the hour to bring us up to speed with some of what's good to do in and around our town in the coming week. But first, Tayler Zavitz and meeting up with animals' best friends at Victoria's Animal Advocacy Camp. Chris Cook hosts Gorilla Radio, airing live every Thursday between 11-Noon Pacific Time.
