”Voices Carry For Animals #485”- Humane World for Animals

Hosted by Debbie Dahmer aka ”Mama Bear” 
Guest: Kate McFall - Florida State Director of Humane World for Animals 
Topics: Brief legislative recap from 2025 session. Bear Hunt being considered by the FWC
For more than 70 years, Humane World for Animals—formerly called the Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International—has been a leader of the animal protection movement, tackling the root causes of animal cruelty and suffering to drive permanent change and create a better world for all animals around the globe.
FWC has admitted that the proposed black bear hunt is not for population control. It’s about giving special interests the chance to kill bears. That’s not science, that's not conservation, it's trophy hunting. We must demand better for "our" wildlife. "Conservation" must evolve beyond human-centered utility.

”Voices Carry For Animals Podcast #484”- Justice for Destiny

Hosted by Debbie Dahmer aka ”Mama Bear” 
Guest will be: Jeff and Pina Losawyer- Destiny’s owners
Topic: ”Justice for Destiny” - Support Destiny’s Law. Stronger penalties for animal abuse and neglect. 
Destiny's Story
Destiny was a victim of extreme neglect and abuse—left outside without food, water, advanced heartworm positive,  could hardly walk, severe dental disease, suffering from a Mast Cell Tumor larger than a melon hanging heavily in-between her legs, and used solely for breeding. Despite six reports  over a two year span from neighbors, no action was taken by the City Animal Control Director, and no charges have been filed against her original owners. When she was finally rescued and adopted by a loving family, her condition was too severe to overcome. On March 12th, 2025, Destiny succumbed to the effects of prolonged abuse and neglect.
Destiny’s case is not an isolated incident. Too many animals suffer due to weak laws and lack of enforcement. Studies show a direct link between animal abuse and violent crime, making this an issue that affects not only animals but society as a whole.
Please help us in seeking! "Justice For Destiny" Let's make sure that Destiny didn't die in vain.
