Description:

We begin with Lori speaking to Elizabeth Oreck, National Manager of Puppy Mill Initiatives for Best Friends Animal Society about the connection between intentional dog breeding, overpopulation and euthanasia of homeless dogs. For years, Lori has been explaining how dog breeders contribute to shelter crowding and consequently to the killing of far too many adoptable dogs. Listen in to hear Elizabeth’s perspective, as well as her opinions about the American Kennel Club.

Then Lori welcomes back Dr. Doug Kunz to cover many aspects of allergies in cats. Allergies in cats are not as common as in dogs, but they bring similar challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Kunz is Medical Director at VCA Desert Animal Hospital in Palm Springs, California.

Peter then welcomes rock superstar Paul Rodgers and his wife, fitness guru and former Miss Canada, Cynthia Kereluk to talk about their deep advocacy for animals. In this interview, they share what inspires their compassion toward animals and encourage people to help alleviate animal suffering. Read more about Paul’s impressive musical career here, and check out two of the sanctuaries he and Cynthia strongly support, Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary in Ontario, CA, and Willows Animal Sanctuary in Scotland.

In the final segment, we talk about our relationships with our pets, a dolphin super pod caught on video, a huge python on the loose in Poland, and more news stories from around the globe.
