A Voice for the Voiceless

The FOUR PAWS team shares intimate, behind the scenes details from it's largest bear rescue to date in Vietnam thanks to an exclusive interview with FOUR PAWS team responder, Paula Pavlicek. Next up, the team discusses bear hibernation (and that bears can re-learn how to do it!) and ends the segment with happy animal news from around the world.

Claire, Jen and special guest Sonja Svensek - International Head of Nutrition for FOUR PAWS - discuss how eating plant based meals can positively impact your health, animal welfare and the environment. We give you facts and figures that teach you how animal food industries effect our world and how you can make a difference starting TODAY by incorporating more vegan and vegetarian meals into your diet.

Wild Animals in Captivity. Claire and special guest Melanie Lary have a thought-provoking conversation about the state of wild animals in the U.S. Why should people care about wild animals and what have past experiences taught us? Then, Jen, Claire and special guest Alexandra Mandoki also share behind the scenes details from our rescue of 2 bears who journeyed through 5 countries and traveled 1600+ miles by car and boat to get to our Arosa Bear Sanctuary in Switzerland. And the hosts then enjoy a good laugh during the closing segment, "Who Done Do It?" For more information on the work of FOUR PAWS, follow us on Facebook or consider donating today.  

Claire and Jen discuss FOUR PAWS' harrowing rescue mission to Magic World Zoo near Aleppo, Syria - a rescue mission that received national coverage by National Geographic, The New York Times, and more. The war ravaged zoo had only 13 surviving animals, all of whom were trapped with no chance to escape. But thanks to the bravery of Dr. Amir Khalil, FOUR PAWS veterinarian and leader of the mission, and his amazing team, they achieved the impossible. Hear more behind- the- scenes details from Dr. Khalil as he describes what went on while planning the mission and when the rescue took place. You'll also learn about animal- friendly ways to share your love for wild animals without putting them at risk and enjoy a good laugh during the closing segment, "Who Done Do It?"
