The second episode of the Indy Animal Media podcast (which you can listen to by clicking the play button above, or by downloading it to your computer in MP3 or M4A format), is the second in a four-part series of an interview with Nathan Winograd, director of the No Kill Advocacy Center and author of Redemption: the Myth of Pet Overpopulation and the No Kill Revolution in America (click here to check out the first part of the interview if you missed it.) If you’re an animal lover, an animal shelter employee or volunteer, if you donate to animal welfare organizations such as the ASPCA, the Humane Society of the United States, or PETA, or even if you’re simply a taxpayer, you’ll want to listen.
In this episode, Winograd shares his opinions on:
- why No Kill shelters aren’t more widespread
- purebred cat and dog breeders
- breed discrimination towards bully breeds such as Pit Bulls, and how the current state of animal welfare is failing them.
