On today’s show we’ll be covering good news on New York’s declawing ban, an unexpectedly compassionate change at the Sonoma County Fair, a market update on vegan alternative meat and fast food industry, and we’ll end with a nationwide change in a dreadful mouse and rat experimentation policy.

Tune in or listen live online -- every Wednesday from 5:30-6 pm on KZFR 90.1 FM.

“Bringing animals into the world only to kill them is not part of the ‘cycle of nature.’ We artificially inseminate animals, kill them years before their natural life span is up, then justify it as ‘natural’, comparing ourselves to ‘other animals who kill to survive’. Last time I looked, lions weren’t breeding gazelles.”
--Colleen Patrick-Goudreau
