Since time immemorial, we've given animals names, from the sublime to the utterly ridiculous. For everyone who's looked at a puppy or a kitten and wondered what it should be called – and then called it an embarrassingly silly nickname anyway – this episode is for you. This week, Danièle speaks with Ben Parsons about what medieval people named their pets and working animals, how we know about them, and which animals are still called by their medieval nicknames.You can support this podcast on Patreon - go to https://www.patreon.com/medievalists

Bill Ketzer, from ASPCA Government Relations, is asking lawmakers to end this predatory practice. Listen Now Millennials Choose Pets Over Children Millennials are less likely to become parents of "human children" because they are instead focusing on their pets. Apparently, 44% of millennials are unsure if they want to have children, but their rate of pet ownership continues to rise. These animals are acting as a substitute for children, according to psychology professor Jean Twenge. This generation is half as likely to be married than the generations preceding it. Listen Now Convicted Deer Poacher Ordered to Watch Bambi Every Month For a Year A Missouri judge has ordered a convicted deer poacher to watch Bambi at least once a month during the year he will be spending in jail. The man is actually one of four family members implicated in a three-year hunting operation that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of deer. The prosecutor said the family mainly stalked their prey at night, killing the deer and taking their heads and antlers, and then they abandoned the carcasses. The state's Department of Conservation called it a thrill and kill sport for the men. By the way, the one-year jail sentence was initially suspended in favor of a two-year probationary period. But the guy who now has to watch Bambi quickly violated the terms of his probation, leading the Judge to reinstate the original one-year sentence with the additional Bambi twist.

This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern chats with writer and critic Rebecca van Laer about her debut memoir, Cat. Van Laer explores how our lives with cats reshape the wild we've tried to domesticate—what “tame,” “neuter,” and “indoors” say about nature and about us. She shares why she chose a life plus cats (not kids), and how “undomesticating” herself alongside her senior companions Toby and Gus reframed love, work, and family. From cats' mysteriously divine histories to millennial burnout in a content-marketing grind, maternal fault lines, and the radical permission in feline laziness and pleasure, Rebecca's reflections purr with humor and honesty—right down to Gus's opinion: “I don't want to be famous…I just want to go to the basement.”EPISODE NOTES: Toby, Gus & Me: Choosing a Life Plus Cats with Rebecca van LaerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.

Honey guide birds in Africa respond to culturally distinct human calls and lead hunters to beehives, where humans crack them open and birds feast on the exposed beeswax. But what the if humans could whistle for any wild animal to help with tasks? Call a deer to haul your Costco groceries home (extra cabbage as payment), summon crows to find your lost earring for peanuts, or live in a Viking village where bears help with the salmon harvest then hibernate in someone's hut all winter. From turkey truffle-hunting to dolphins demanding space station aquariums, explore a world where wild animals and humans exist in bizarre symbiotic relationships that might have prevented industrialization altogether.

“There are no barriers to telepathy—living or in spirit. Only the limits we place on reality.” —Nikki Nikki Vasconez shares how a single session with her anxious pup “Havoc” (now Merlin) cracked open her intuitive gifts—and launched a thriving animal communication and teaching practice. Jane and Sarah have so much fun getting the scoop on animal attitude in this episode! Nikki explains why names matter, how animals are keen observers with strong opinions, and why the nervous system is the real gateway to clearer telepathy. She offers unforgettable stories: a cat whose mystery illness was a hidden tooth abscess, a dog whose “job” solved separation anxiety, and pets in spirit who still make their presence known (hello, butt-cheek poke). We also talk about phone addiction, present-moment living, and why anyone can learn to communicate—if they slow down, listen, and drop expectations.   You don't need to be “born gifted.” Telepathy is innate and trainable with practice and nervous-system regulation. Names carry energy. Renaming “Havoc” to Merlin transformed his anxiety and demeanor. Animals notice everything. They're aware, opinionated, and often just need to be understood, not “fixed.” Ask “why,” not “stop.” Understanding the reason behind a behavior (e.g., needing a job) can resolve issues like separation anxiety. Health hits can be specific. Animals may point to precise issues (e.g., a single infected tooth) that vets can confirm. Spirit communication continues. Pets in spirit often send tactile or environmental signs—and feel as clear as living animals. Humans add static. Constantly retelling a rescue's trauma can keep them (and us) stuck; emphasize the present moment. Self-care = clearer channel. Less phone time, more calm, and simple rituals improve reception and trust.   “I don't know anything, and anything is possible.” — Nikki “Animals are so aware—and with awareness comes opinions!” — Nikki “There are no barriers to telepathy—living or in spirit.

A global war against animals is driven by capitalist exploitation and profit. Dinesh Wadiwel, author of Animals and Capital and The War Against Animals, shows how capitalism treats animals as commodities, raw materials, and self-reproducing labor. He advocates for an anti-capitalist animal politics that builds alliances with social justice movements to advance both animal and human justice. Highlights include: Why the concept of 'hierarchical anthropocentrism' is essential in revealing how human-centered thinking and systems of hierarchy together justify domination over both animals and marginalized human groups; How 'hierarchical anthropocentrism' spread globally through colonialism with its racial and ethnic hierarchies and was then exponentially increased in its destructiveness by global capitalism; How human relationships with animals - from industrial farming to pet ownership - reflect human domination and control of animals; How we are waging a war against animals, even as we try to hide the reality of industrial animal killing through consumer distance and sanitized language; Why animals' physical resistance to human violence is politically significant and doesn't rely on moral appeals to animal sentience; Why the rise of utilitarianism within animal rights philosophical theory coincides with the rise of neoliberal capitalism; How animal agriculture has grown so large - not because of human need - but to serve capitalist profits by stimulating demand for cheaply overproduced animal products; How capitalism sustains animal exploitation by treating animals as laborers that reproduce themselves as profitable commodities; Why an effective animal rights movement must have a structural critique of capitalism that allows it to build alliances with social justice groups, such as labor and indigenous rights, in order to resist the capitalist structures that oppress both animals and people; Why the lack of a theory of the state weakens animal advocacy by leading activists to overestimate the role of liberal democracies and legal reform, even as both animals and many humans experience increasingly totalitarian relations to the state. See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript:  https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/dinesh-wadiwel   OVERSHOOT | Shrink Toward Abundance OVERSHOOT tackles today's interlocked social and ecological crises driven by humanity's excessive population and consumption. The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.  Hosted by Nandita Bajaj and Alan Ware.

Today we're talking about a topic that's really important to me personally: donating and effective giving. Specifically, why donating 10% of your income to the most effective animal charities might be one of the most important things you can do to improve the world.To dive deep into this topic, I'm so excited to have Sjir Hoeijmakers on the show today. Sjir is the CEO of Giving What We Can (GWWC), the global organisation promoting effective giving and the 10% pledge. Even more impressive than this, he donates around 50% of his income to effective charities, so he really puts his money where his mouth is! In our conversation, we talk about the impact your donation can have, why it also makes sense for people who work full-time in the movement and why the act of pledging really matters. We also talk about another important part of Giving What We Can's work: Their evaluation of regrantors and evaluators, including the Effective Altruism Animal Welfare Fund and Animal Charity Evaluators. If anything we talk about today sparks your interest, I really encourage you to consider taking the trial pledge, where you can pledge to give just 1% of your income to effective charities. It's a great way to test it out and see if it works for you. Personally, taking the pledge is one of the things I'm proudest of. Because of this, I'll be donating £50 to Giving What We Can's effective animal advocacy fund for each person who takes the trial pledge or full 10% pledge, up to a total of £1000. So, if you sign up via the links below, there is a special tracker that will let me know how many people take it, and I'll donate accordingly. Take the

Animals have been domesticated for 10,000 years and the current outbreak of avian flu is the largest and most complex animal disease outbreak in history, with serious risks beyond poultry. Avian influenza risk especially rises when waterfowl migrate in the fall, Maurice Pitesky, University of California Cooperative Extension poultry specialist has developed the Waterfowl Alert Network to help farmers manage their cattle and poultry's exposure to migratory birds when they are nearby. If farmers are aware and utilize the network it will reduce risk and prevent birds and cows from getting sick. Maurice holds a veterinary degree and a postgraduate degree in epidemiology. As a faculty member at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, he specializes in poultry health and food safety epidemiology - enhancing food safety and production efficiency. Waterfowl Alert Network (WFAN) helps agricultural producers reduce the spread of avian influenza by showing where migrating waterfowl are in relation to their farms. Using advanced radar modeling and field-tested epidemiological science, it provides daily risk forecasts that help poultry, cattle, and swine farms improve their biosecurity before the next outbreak strikes—giving producers a weather report for bird flu.

If you're a moth trying to stay uneaten, there are competing strategies. Some moths rely on camouflage, trying to blend in. Other moths take the opposite approach: They're bold and bright, with colors that say “don't eat me, I'm poison.” Biologist Iliana Medina joins Host Flora Lichtman to describe a study that placed some 15,000 origami moths in forests around the world to investigate which strategy might work best. Then, mammologist Anderson Feijó and evolutionary biologist Rafaela Missagia join Flora to dive into another evolutionary conundrum: why so many rodents have thumbnails. Guests: Dr. Iliana Medina Guzman is a Senior Lecturer in the School of BioSciences at the University of Melbourne in Australia.Dr. Anderson Feijó is a mammal curator at the Field Museum in Chicago. Dr. Rafaela Missagia is an assistant professor at the University of São Paulo in Brazil.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.
