This episode features some amazing content from the Animal Justice Academy, a six-week free online course put on by the Canadian-based NGO Animal Justice.
Featured is an excerpt of an interview between Camille Labchuck, Executive Director of Animal Justice and Dr. Marc Bekoff, a biologist and behaviour expert about animal sentience.
Natasha also pays tribute to Pierre, one her kittens who was sadly poisoned and crossed the rainbow bridge on 4 February.
This week on Animalia, we drive home the adopt don't shop mantra with Khalid Burke, the founder of Adopt Movement, a regional organisation dedicated to finding every homeless cat and dog in the Caribbean a home.
Khalid talks about his life growing up around animals, the adopt event turned into a movement, why adoption is so critical and the advantages of adopting vs shopping for a pet.
Khalid's #RescueMe features three dogs in Kingston, Jamaica looking for a forever home.
