episode # 20 : 1 December 2008
a holiday gift from FARM
a vision of many voices from AR2008
The holiday season also marks the time of reflection on the past year. Today we review the effects that our consumption habits have on impacting the planet, some humane holiday observances, and new ways that we can help animals as we enter the winter season and prepare for the New Year. We share a candle-lighting ceremony for the animals, a compassionate invitation from holocaust survivor Alex Hershaft, and a lesson in global sustainability from Richard Schwartz, courtesy of FARM's recent Animal Rights National Conference. Kim McCoy of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society gives a preview of the SHARK ANGELS project, and Bett Sundermeyer of NoKillHouston.org explains the urgent opportunity for citizens to help transform the city pound into a no-kill facility.
