But today, demand for whale products is at a historic low. And yet some countries still have a whaling industry. We find out why.

Most of us will never see a lion or leopard or giraffe in their natural habitat. But many of us, have seen them up close in a zoo. Sometimes that's in a big facility, such as the almost 300 hectares that's home to 5,000 animals in Toronto. Or, it's in a roadside location with a smaller or specialty assortment of wildlife. Either way, ensuring that the animals are well cared for is a concern for all. For insight, we welcome Dolf DeJong, president and CEO of the Toronto Zoo; Melissa Matlow, campaign director for World Animal Protection, Canada; and Kendra Coulter, professor in management and organizational studies at Western University and author of "Defending Animals: Finding Hope on the Front Lines of Animal Protection."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Encountering animals on our travels is one of the most life-changing experiences we can have, but how can we do it in a more ethical and responsible way? Kristen Diederich is with me today to talk about ethical wildlife tourism and how to be more informed when choosing our animal experiences. Kristen is the founder of Compassionate Travels, which focuses on crafting ethical, wildlife-centric adventures for responsible, values-driven travelers. As an animal rights advocate and well-traveled adventurer, she has first-hand experience on the scale of animal suffering in the tourism industry and the challenges of finding experiences that don't contribute to it.  Kristen and I discuss the complex issues around common experiences like elephant riding, taking photos, feeding and touching, and even cultural experiences like dog sledding. She shares the concept of “welfare washing” and why even some of the most seemingly ethical sanctuaries or rescues are still causing harm. You'll learn how to identify truly ethical sanctuaries and tour operators and gain an understanding of the broader impact of mass tourism on animal welfare. How have your thoughts changed on animal tourism? I'd love to hear what you took away from this episode and hope you'll share by sending me an audio message.

Bev Boyle, who is the Global Head of Media at World Animal Protection, plays a pivotal role in shaping the narrative around animal welfare on a global scale. She's at the forefront of crafting media campaigns that not only raise awareness but also inspire action. In this episode of the PR Resolution Podcast, Stella and Bev discuss a current campaign that is making change; Bev shares how the ‘Stop TUI from profiting from dolphin cruelty' emerged as an issue, how the content is reaching a wide audience and how the result of audience engagement is encouraging a major corporate to make change to their products. Bev also shares how her global team works with media. How they have adapted processes to work with modern media change & their dedication to responding to animal news and journalists requests in less than 60minutes. They cover the campaigns that have made the biggest impact and have helped save animals, the components and how the team measure them, especially when the biggest KPI is often changing international tourist trends. Bev also shares her insight on the challenging financial climate for charities right now and how World Animal Protection are making efficiencies that all PR teams can take inspiration from.

In this episode of the Sentient Media Podcast, we meet Nicholas Carter to tackle the myths around animal agriculture.  Watch the interview on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/jl8xG6TVhyc Nicholas is an ecologist and co-founder of PlantBasedData.org, a library of peer-reviewed articles and summaries on the environmental, health, economic, and zoonotic disease evidence to shift to plant-based diets. He's recently prepared a scientific report for World Animal Protection, including a contribution to carbon modeling with Navius Research, on the impacts and opportunities with agriculture in Canada.Nicholas is also on the advisory board of the Eco Cooks Club, an educational program to empower youth to take climate action by connecting how our food choices impact the planet. He's also helped launch and leads climate communications for a data center that's part of the Canadian Centre for Climate Services. He was recently a Center for Biological Diversity panelist alongside Dr. Tara Garnett from Oxford University, and a speaker at the launch of the documentary Meat the Future along with the Jane Goodall Institute, the Good Food Institute, and BluNalu. His research during his master's degree in environmental practice focused on the global greenhouse gas emissions that are attributed to animal agriculture. He's since written and been interviewed for The New Republic, Plant Based News, Plant Proof, Sentient Media, Forbes, The Globe and Mail, Macleans, and Planet Friendly News. Transitioning to plant-based farming systems has also been a focus where he's written about regenerative plant farming practices with A-Well-Fed World.Links:Coverage of the Nexus report by Jessica Scott-Reid: https://sentientmedia.org/canadians-meat-dairy-climate-goals/Dairy campaign advert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_NII-LL9kwArticle by Jenny Splitter on Frank Mitloehner, money and miscommunication: https://sentientmedia.org/frank-mitloehner/Coverage of Frank Mitloehner in Unearthed and New York Times: https://unearthed.greenpeace.org/2022/10/31/frank-mitloehner-uc-davis-climate-funding/ https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/31/climate/frank-mitloehner-uc-davis.htmlGeorge Monbiot's book, Regenisis: https://twitter.com/georgemonbiot/status/1522851257794318336Achieving climate targets in Canada with a shift to plant-based: https://www.worldanimalprotection.ca/news/canadas-2030-climate-targets-are-achievable-if-canadians-move-more-plant-based-dietWe will not achieve the Paris 1.5 degrees C climate goal without addressing animal agriculture:https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aba7357?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%20%200pubmedhttps://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(18)31788-4/fulltexthttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0594-0"If global trends in meat and dairy intake continue, global mean temperature rise will more than likely exceed 2° C, even with dramatic emissions reductions across non‐agricultural sectors." https://www.researchgate.net/publication/286920313_The_Importance_of_Reducing_Animal_Product_Consumption_and_Wasted_Food_in_Mitigating_Catastrophic_Climate_Changehttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32474248/Largest meta-analysis on our food system to date looking at over 38,000 farms in 119 countries representing 90% of all foods: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aaq021683% of all agricultural land is used for animal agriculture.  Shifting entirely away from animal agriculture would free up more than 3 billion hectares of land, equivalent to the continent of Africa.As covered here as well: https://ourworldindata.org/meat-productionCycling crops through animals at about a 10% conversion rate: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/8/3/034015/metaEven the best type of grazing that can draw down some carbon relative to more intensive uses of land, doesn't offset the methane emissions or other tradeoff environmental concerns: https://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/downloads/reports/fcrn_gnc_report.pdfMore myths around Grazing: https://grazingfacts.com/Nationwide shift to grass-fed beef requires larger cattle population, emits more methane, and would use far more land than is available: https://dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/37260135Kiss the Ground analysis and podcast: https://plantbasednews.org/opinion/kiss-the-earth-last-ditch-effort-keep-meat-relevant/Rewilding documentary and research from Dr. William Ripple https://www.rewildingamountain.com/  Stock-Free or Veganic Farming: https://sentientmedia.org/farming-for-the-planet/ and https://awellfedworld.org/issues/climate-issues/farming-for-climate/Biodiversity: "The livestock sector is currently the single major driver of habitat loss and degradation, which is in its turn a leading cause of species decline and extinction worldwide."https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2530064420300614#bib0085 Perspectives in Ecology and ConservationThe “past and present processes by which human carnivory threatens the world's biodiversity makes it arguably the most detrimental aspect of our ecology, from a conservation point-of-view."https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0048969715303697 Science of the Total EnvironmentGrazing & Biodiversity - Possibly some more birds and insects vs. an intensive feedcrop, but far less than rewilding: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ele.13527 & https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1011013108Highly paid beef industry academics: https://sentientmedia.org/frank-mitloehner/ https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/31/climate/frank-mitloehner-uc-davis.htmlThis study showed doubling the proportion of veg meals offered increases veg sales by between 41%-79%: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1907207116Nudge and increase accessibility to plant-based foods: https://academic.oup.com/jpubhealth/article/43/2/392/5637580?login=false#.Xeom9b_uTbw.twitter Find @NicholasDCarter on social:https://twitter.com/NicholasDCarterhttps://www.instagram.com/nicholasdcarter/Website: https://www.plantbaseddata.org/

Bailey is a young animal rights activist, known for disrupting a dolphin show at Dolphin Marine Conservation Park when he was 14 years old.Bailey went vegan after watching YouTube videos which connected him to how meat, dairy and eggs are created. He was shocked and appalled that these companies were meant to be RSPCA approved and he instantly knew he no longer wanted to support them. Bailey's love for marine life, and dolphins in particular was forged after watching the documentary "Black Fish".  Bailey regularly protests dolphins being kept in captivity and is calling on the government to support retirement plans for dolphins currently kept in captivity. Bailey works with a number of organisations that align with his values including PETA, World Animal Protection and Animal Justice Party. Recent PETA demonstrations include human meat trays in Pitt Street Mall, forced mouse swim tests in Bondi Pool and a greyhound protest at Wentworth Park.

实锤！大熊猫吃肉被发现了，巡护员：它捧着一根骨头啃得正香…… | Giant Panda was Found Eating Meat!Ranger: It was Gnawing at Bones with a Good AppetiteA wild giant panda has been caught on camera gnawing at the bones of a dead takin, an animal similar to a goat antelope found in Northwest China's Shaanxi province.一只野生大熊猫被抓拍到正在啃食一头羚牛的骨头。羚羊类似于山羚羊，分布在中国西北部陕西省。 This species of bears, whose ancestor was omnivorous, is believed to sporadically eat dead animals after it was forced to change its diet to bamboo.大熊猫的祖先是杂食动物。据说，在被迫改食竹子后，大熊猫偶尔会吃动物尸体。While counting the number of giant pandas in a field population survey, ranger Li Shuiping and a team from the Foping National Nature Reserve in Shaanxi, took the pictures of a wild giant panda gnawing on the bones of a takin.陕西佛坪国家级自然保护区巡护员李水平等人在实地调查大熊猫数量时，拍下了一只野生大熊猫啃食羚牛骨头的照片。"When we found the panda, it was less than 50 meters away from us. There is no bamboo forest on this large mountain slope so we were wondering what it was eating as we kept observing," Li told Xinhua.“我们发现它时，距离不到50米。这一大片山坡上没有竹林，它能吃啥呢？吃得这么香？”李水平告诉新华社，他们一直在观察它在吃什么。Li mentioned that the "thing" the wild panda was eating turned out to be "the bones of a dead takin that were more than a foot long." 原来，李水平提到野生大熊猫吃的“东西”是一根超过一英尺长的羚牛骨头！"The panda enjoyed its food for about 10 minutes before it dropped the bones and walked slowly into the woods on the hillside and climbed up a big tree," Li said.李水平表示，它吃了大概10分钟，然后扔下骨头，慢慢走进山坡上的林子里，爬上一棵大树。Researchers also found that the feces of the panda after eating meat were different from the usual bamboo diet.研究人员还发现，与通常食竹大熊猫的粪便相比，大熊猫吃肉后的粪便有所不同。The feces of pandas that usually eat bamboo are called "qingtuan" like the traditional Chinese green rice dumpling. The China Academy Science (CAS) Chengdu Branch explained that they named the droppings after the food for the shape and "fragrance of bamboo."通常，食竹熊猫的粪便被称为“青团”，其形似中国传统绿色粽子。中国科学院（CAS）成都分院解释说，之所以用食物的名字命名这些粪便，是因为它们的形状和“竹子的清香”。 As they collected feces samples they found that, compared with the droppings of the common giant panda, the color of these clusters was gray and white, like a "spindle-shaped lime stick," according to the report.据报道，在收集粪便样本时，他们发现，与普通大熊猫粪便相比，这些粪便的颜色灰白，就像一根“梭形的石灰棒”。This is the second image of a wild giant panda captured eating meat in the Foping National Nature Reserve.这是第二次在佛坪国家级自然保护区拍摄到野生大熊猫吃肉。Still, bamboo occupies 99 percent of the catering habits of wild pandas and only in rare cases would they eat meat, according to the CAS. A proper explanation for this sudden meat-eating behaviour is that the animal needs "to absorb other nutrients the body requires when necessary," Sun Quanhui, biologist of the World Animal Protection, told the Global Times on Sunday.据中国科学院介绍，竹类占据野生大熊猫日常饮食的99%，只有在极少数情况下它们才会吃肉。周日，世界动物保护协会生物学家孙全辉在接受《环球时报》采访时表示，对这种突然肉食行为的一个恰当解释是，动物需要在必要时吸收身体所需的其他营养。Originally carnivore, this species was forced to change its diet to bamboo to adapt to the changing climate and habitat. Yet, experts say that its digestive system still "retains the traits of a carnivore, just like their ancestors."大熊猫最初是食肉动物。为了适应气候与栖息地环境的不断变化，大熊猫被迫改变了食性，特化为专食竹子。然而，专家表示，大熊猫的消化系统结构依然保留着食肉类祖先的特征。"Wild pandas mainly prey on the remains of a wide range of dead animals," mentioned Li Sheng, researcher at Peking University and expert at International Union for Conservation of Nature, adding that there had been several records of wild pandas "eating meat occasionally" in areas around the Qinling Mountains.北京大学研究员、世界自然保护联盟（IUCN）专家李晟认为，野生大熊猫“主要是取食动物残骸”，并补充说，在秦岭周围地区有几项“野生大熊猫偶尔会‘打牙祭'”的记录。重点词汇：gnaw 英 [nɔː]；美[nɔː] v. 咬；啃；啮omnivorous英 [ɒmˈnɪvərəs]；美[ɑːmˈnɪvərəs] adj. 杂食的；（尤指）动、植物都吃的；兴趣广泛的feces英 [ˈfiːsiːz]；美[ˈfiːsiːz] n. 粪便；排泄物；渣滓droppings英 [ˈdrɒpɪŋz]；美[ˈdrɑːpɪŋz] n.（鸟、小动物等的）粪carnivore英 [ˈkɑːnɪvɔː(r)]；美[ˈkɑːrnɪvɔːr] n. 食肉动物

Right now, more than 70 billion animals are farmed for food each year – two-thirds in conditions that mean they can't move freely or live naturally. Unfortunately, this includes animals like chickens, pigs and cows that are commonly farmed in both Canada and the United States. It's an unfortunate reality that the world isn't going to stop eating animal products overnight. With that in mind, in this week's PlantPod episode, we delve into how we can lobby the government and industry to improve the lives of farm animals at every stage from farming to transportation to slaughter. For this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Lynn Kavanagh who is the Farming Campaign Manager for World Animal Protection Canada. Here are some of the questions we delved into: What does factory farming look like in Canada? How can we help improve the lives of farm animals? What legislation does the government have in place to help improve the lives of these animals? Are farmers and industry open to change? What are Ag-Gag laws? Which animals are treated the worst? What are some of the health implications of this unfair treatment to animals? Lynn has been leading animal advocacy campaigns for many years. She is currently the Canadian Farming Campaign Manager for World Animal Protection, an international animal welfare charity with offices in 14 countries. She oversees the organization's farm animal welfare and food systems campaigns to change government legislation, corporate policies, and people's behaviour to improve protection for animals. She received an MSc degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare from the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada.

Today's episode features Kelly Dent of World Animal Protection talking about ending the global wildlife trade. The global trade in wildlife is worth hundreds of billions of dollars annually and includes both the legal and illegal trade in animals. While the Convention on International Trade in Endangered species of Wild Fauna and Flora boasts a membership of 183 countries, many argue it is insufficient, unsustainable and ineffective to protect vulnerable, endangered and critically endangered species. The system is full of loopholes which allow trade in wildlife to continue unchecked, with very little ability to differentiate between legal and illegal trade. Calls to end the global wildlife trade have been growing through this pandemic, not only due to the likelihood that COVID-19 is a zoonotic pathogen, meaning it comes from animals, but also due to the sheer cost of the pandemic to human life and economy. As the population grows, pressure on wildlife and wild places also grows, meaning more interaction between both and more likelihood of animal / human conflict and disease transmission. I invited Kelly Dent to chat about why we need a blanket ban on the trade in wildlife. Kelly is the Director of External Engagement with World Animal Protection and a lifelong activist and has 25 years experience lobbying and campaigning on climate change, poverty, corporate accountability, trade, labour and human rights around the world. Kelly is reading 'Such a Fun Age' by Kiley Reid; 'Anna Karenina' by Leo Tolstoy; 'Why we love dogs, eat pigs and wear cows' by Melanie Joy; 'Me and White Supremacy' by Layla F Saad. Kelly is listening to 7AM; 'Nice White Parents' New York Times; 'Debutante: Race, Resistance and Girl Power' by Nakkiah Lui & Miranda Tapsell; Rabbit Hole, New York Times.

In this episode, I chat with Ruth De Vere, Global Head of Behavioural Insights at World Animal Protection. Ruth leads a team of global researchers looking at how to get supporters to take better, more impactful actions to improve the lives of animals.In this chat we discuss: - How her background as a teacher has shaped her approach- The challenges of measuring the impact of research work- Her work studying river gorillas in Cameroon- How she is working to embed behavioural psychology into World Animal Protection- Getting campaigners to consider a customer-first mindset, particularly around fundraisingFind out more about Ruth and World Animal Protection here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruthdevere/

As the world continues to battle a global pandemic that originated from contact with a wild animal, it seems timely to contemplate humanity's relationship to wild animals. So this week on Chickeeps, Evy speaks to longtime animal welfare activist and vegan, Katie Tostevin-Hobbs of World Animal Protection about what it means to create safe and respectful boundaries between people and wild animals. We discuss why it's unethical to use animals in entertainment, what wild animals really shouldn't be kept as pets, and also why some animal welfare organisations choose not to take a publicly vegan stance. Katie shares how a love for animals from a young age inspired her to devote her life to protecting them. How one man was left a wooly monkey in his inheritance and how it lead to the founding of a monkey sanctuary and protection for monkeys in the pet trade. What is meant by ‘wild animals in entertainment' and does it always involve animal cruelty? Seeing the problem from all perspectives: Katie explains how the mahouts and exployees of elephant riding companies are victims to the system too, and what World Animal Protection do to help them find a new livelihood. How to open a dialogue with people who work in the animals in entertainment sector. What to do when you see a friend posting about swimming with dolphins? What's the definition of a wild animal that shouldn't be kept as a pet? What is the most ethical thing to do if you already have a wild animal as a pet? Katie explains the Promise4Wildlife and how important it is to shift public perception of wild animals in entertainment. Why Katie chooses to work in animal welfare, and the impact WAP has on animals in factory farming systems. Will World Animal Protection ever take a publicly vegan stance?

Evy speaks to Simone Clarke and Lena Aalby of World Animal Protection Australia to get an insight into what daily life is like now for the animal advocates in Australia, working to protect perhaps the most vulnerable victims of disasters. Simone and Lena share about the challenges faced in recovering from the fires, what's happening to the rescued animals and why they believe in prioritising long-term recovery work to best protect animals in disasters. Also on this episode… Simone and Lena discuss how charities spring into action and coordinate their strategies to approach all aspects of protecting animals affected by disasters. Lena shares about the emergency relief work she personally partakes in to rescue and rehabilitate injured  and orphaned animals. 1 billion animals perished: Is this statistic accurate and what does it mean for the future of the Australian wildlife? Can these animals be rehabilitated and released into the wild after so much of the land was destroyed? The resilience of the Australian landscape. Why World Animal Protection believe in advocating for policy change as part of their strategy to protect animals. What is the point of saving farm animals affected by disasters when ultimately people are going to kill them to eat? Is veganism included in World Animal Protection's disaster prevention strategy? Is fundraising the only thing we can do to help Australia heal? Isn't climate change only going to make the fires increase and is there hope for handling this problem?
