https://www.change.org/p/we-want-real-justice-for-josie-misdemeanor-is-not-acceptable
MISSION:
To promote the humane treatment and responsible care of animals, as well as to save and better the lives of animals by advocating for better animal protection and anti-cruelty laws with lawmakers and government bodies statewide. We must speak for those that cannot speak for themselves while we stand together to protect the animals!!
The only way we can protect the animals is by changing the laws. Animals are considered property so when someone kills or abuses them they get off easy. Also in Court cases, they have no rights because according to the Court system they have the same rights as a tree. Let's fight to get these laws changed now.

Hosted by Debbie Dahmer aka "Mama Bear"
Guest will be: Mary-Ann Holm -President & Campaign Coordinator at Lucy's Edmonton Advocates' Project  (LEAP)
https://www.leapforlucy.com/

https://twitter.com/LEAPyeg
TOPIC: Update on Lucy the Elephant in Edmonton Zoo in Canada
Lucy the Elephant has been at the Edmonton Valley Zoo for 46 years and turns 48 this year.  This is an ominous milestone as zoo elephants rarely survive to their mid forties. Lucy suffers from a number of zoo induced ailments which will shorten her life expectancy. She has no other elephant companions, which is considered cruel by elephant experts due to their highly complex social needs. The harsh Edmonton climate is detrimental to her health and painful for her ongoing arthritis and foot disease. Lucy lives in a tiny concrete cell and is only allowed outdoors for short controlled walks.
Success! The City is finally willing to accept the offer by Free the Wild and also LEAP's request to submit a list of recommended consultants. LEAP were pleased that one of their recommended vets was chosen. Release of report is still pending.

Animal Advocates Radio “Voices Carry For Animals #380”- Animal Wellness Action

Hosted by Debbie Dahmer aka "Mama Bear"
Guest will be: Scott Beckstead - Director of Campaigns at Animal Wellness Action & Center for a Humane Economy 
https://animalwellnessaction.org/
https://centerforahumaneeconomy.org/
TOPIC: Protecting America’s Beloved Equines!
The Issue
Drawing on the central historical and cultural role horses have played in the United States, AWA are working to ban the slaughter of horses for human consumption. Americans strongly oppose horse slaughter. AWA also working to ban the transport of all equines for the purposes of slaughter
Every year, tens of thousands of American horses go to slaughter plants in Canada and Mexico, where their flesh is packaged and sent to other foreign markets for consumption. These are healthy animals, by and large, and this is a predatory industry that takes advantage of animals never raised for the plate.
We must press the case.  The only reasonable pathway to securing a North American ban on the slaughter of horses from the U.S. is to pass legislation in Congress. One way to take definite steps in that direction is to forbid horse transport for slaughter from more states, as New York recently did in banning the movement of retired racehorses to Canada for slaughter.
AWA champion causes that alleviate the suffering of animals - Helping Animals Helps Us All.
