	Description:		We begin with hot news stories including China bans the sale and consumption of wild animals, Massachusetts to end wildlife killing contests, Donald Trump Jr. gives keynote address to Safari Club International, how a southern boarder wall may disrupt ocelot groups, and more. Lori then provides detailed instructions and tips on how consumers can tell if the fur on a product, such as trim on a garment, is from an animal or is synthetic. This is a good skill to possess because many consumer products purporting to contain imitation fur still deceptively utilize real fur, which is often cheaper. To conclude, Lori welcomes back Jonathan Evans, Environmental Health Legal Director and Senior Attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity to explain about the types and uses of rodenticides and the major harm being caused by a new generation of poisons. Many non-target animals are being exposed to these highly toxic rodenticides. Evans also shares ways we can deter mice and rats from our home environments using humane methods. Ocelots
