For this episode of Brewstilled, I'm joined by Laryssa and Johanna from Friends of Front here in Sacramento to preview Front Street Brewfest in Sacramento California to be held on April 13th, 2024.

A human rights professor discusses Palestinians and the Israel-Hamas War. What is causing an ongoing veterinarian shortage across California animal shelters. Free state park passes at public libraries. Palestinians and the Israel-Hamas War Just over a month ago, on Oct. 7, Hamas militants launched attacks on Israel, killing civilians and taking hundreds of hostages. In retaliation, Israel has conducted extensive bombing campaigns and launched a ground invasion of the isolated Gaza Strip. Health officials in Gaza report that over 11,000 people have been killed so far, while Israeli authorities count over 1,200 dead. As the fighting continues, increasingly forceful attention has been called to the human rights challenges of the current conflict, from allegations of war crimes and ethnic cleansing, to concerns over antisemitism and Islamophobia here at home. Keith David Watenpaugh, professor and director of Human Rights Studies at UC Davis, joins Insight for a deeper look at the human rights challenges of the current war. Veterinarian Shortages at Animal Shelters There are more than 200 animal shelters across California and many are facing a growing dilemma– caring for more animals with less staff. Money doesn't seem to be the main driver, but an ongoing veterinarian shortage that escalated during the pandemic. A study this year from the San Francisco SPCA and UC Davis shows that of the shelters that have budgeted positions for veterinarians and vet nurses, more than half of those positions remain vacant. Which means hundreds of thousands of shelter animals across the state do not have access to reliable veterinary care– with consequences that include overcrowding, higher instances of illness and euthanasia. Front Street Animal Shelter in the city of Sacramento is among the sites impacted. Dr. Victoria Smalley is Front Street's only full-time veterinarian and joins us with a closer look at the challenges. And Dr. Kate Hurley is the director of the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program, which partnered for the study, and joins us with a closer look at a veterinary shortage across the state, and how the community can help. State Park Passes at Public Libraries Visiting a state park may not be in the cards for many lower income Californians. Entry fees coupled with the cost to get there, like gas, can add up quickly. CapRadio Politics Reporter Nicole Nixon joins us about a state park entry program that is free and only requires a library card to access. We'll also learn about how Californians can get free access to gear that makes exploring the outdoors even more enjoyable.
According to the American Humane Association, 10 million pets go missing or are stolen every year. One in three pets will get lost in their lifetimes. And as much as every loving pet parent would like to believe their pet will never leave their sides, the fact of the matter is...a lost pet can happen to anyone. Lorien chats with Gina Knepp about three tools every pet parent needs to keep their pets safe and HOME. Learn about Petco Love Lost, PetHub digital IDs and Pawboost from one of the animal welfare industry's leading experts. Gina Knepp is the National Shelter Engagement Director for Michelson Found Animals. Previously serving as Animal Care Services Manager for Front Street Animal Shelter in Sacramento, California, Gina increased the live release rate from just 20% to over 90% through the development of new RTH policies and robust community engagement programs.

When a resident of Sacramento, California, calls the 3-1-1 customer service hotline to report kittens in need, they don't route that call to a uniformed animal services officer. Instead, a member of a new volunteer-powered field response team is assigned the case. These dedicated volunteers (who were already performing T-N-R across the city on their own) are empowered to make decisions based on what they feel is the best solution in each instance. This repeatable and straightforward program is another way to engage the pet-loving public in the work of saving lives. Heather Wright and Denise Bell, the co-leads of the Front Street Animal Shelter's Kitten Action Team, joined us to talk about the ins and outs of the program and how it's been going in the first few weeks since they hit the streets.

To all of you working in the area of field services, on behalf of everyone at Best Friends, we’d like to say thank you for the work you do every day!
