 Animal Wise Radio from August 29, 2010
Animal Wise Radio closes out summer today with a conversation about farming and harvesting from your own back yard. Krista Leraas, is the Program Coordinator of Backyard Harvest. She explains the vision of sustainable, urban food systems and how they create a bounty beyond the veggies. Mike and Beth continue on the trail to "sniff out the truth" about MN metro area's own Animal Humane Society's new promotional web site. This site launched after the question was asked: "Why would a shelter that destroys a high percentage of animals every year, import thousands from another state?" And don't miss Dr. Michael Fox's appearance. Always a favorite guest, he is a long time writer, scholar, scientist, veterinarian and advocate for animal welfare - from how humans eat to what Fido eats. He will comment on what makes great nutrition and pet food as well as the renewed concerns that pet foods may contain dead pets. Download this episode here! Sun, 29 Aug 2010 16:21:12 CST |

Join us today on Animal Wise Radio as our guests both challenge and inspire. Susan Shaw, Founder and Director at the Marine Environmental Research Institute will talk with us about ocean waters, toxicity and concerns for ocean life in the Gulf and beyond. Nathan Winograd talks MN with Mike and Beth as we mull over the ...topic of animal transport as it affects our local community. What to do when animals are transported from a high kill community to a shelter known to have a high kill rate? We get inspired in hour two with champions of compassion, guests Bill Craig and Lori Birdsong. Bill has cooked up a bicycle ride from Carrolton TX to Carrolton GA in an effort to raise funds for animals and awareness about no-kill sheltering in communities along the route and beyond. Guest Lori Birdsong takes hospital throw-aways and turns them into animal rescue gold with her Linens for Dogs program. This program is a winner in more ways than one! Download this episode here!

Today Animal Wise Radio invites Sean Cosgrove of the Conservation Law Foundation to talk with us about National Ocean Policy, signed this week, as an Executive Order by President Obama.

We'll dig into this conversation and try to understand how this order may help us all become better stewards of our ocean waters. Lewis and Paula Turner, pet lovers, pet shop owners, and big hearted thinkers are joining us to talk about their "modest proposal." They have a dream for shelters and pet shops to be working as partners in adoptions. Nathan Winograd joins us to celebrate passage of the Delaware Animal Protection Act, a law that mandates collaboration between shelters and rescue groups similar to California's existing Hayden Law, and Oreo's Law still pending in NY.
