Original air date: February 8, 2005 We speak with Dr. Rita Laws about connections between vegetarianism and Native Americans. Dr. Laws, who is Choctaw and Cherokee, will provide a historical analysis of hunting and colonialism, along with an examination of some Native American traditional views on non-human animals. Dr. Laws has been vegetarian since 1979. In 1974 she witnessed the slaughter of a lamb in front of a mother sheep, and the experience strongly influenced her choice to become vegetarian. At the same time, she also learned about the "tens of thousands of kids in foster care [who] are waiting for permanency" and she became a special needs adoption activist. She has written several books and articles about domestic adoption and children with special needs. She is currently revising a book she wrote last year about Indian Peace Medals, which signify lasting friendship and peace. Here is Dr. Laws' article entitled "Returning to the Corn," and additional info about the author: http://personalpages.tds.net/~rlaws/vegetarianindians.html News links: Spanish parliament to extend rights to apes Canadians urged to don sealskin as "birthday" suit 2nd July 2008: Day of Solidarity

A Major Documentary on Current Environmental Threats and How Jewish Teachings Can Be Applied in Responding to These Threats. Produced by Emmy-Award-winning producer, director, writer, and cinematographer Lionel Friedberg, A SACRED DUTY will take its place alongside Al Gore's AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH and Leonardo di Caprio's THE ELEVENTH HOUR as another powerful expose of the dangers of global warming. However, it goes beyond the latter two films, by showing how religious responses can make a major difference and why a shift toward plant-based diets is an essential part of efforts to reduce global climate change and other environmental threats.

Is this week's program Bob's audition tape for diabetic and deceased Tim Russert's old job - on "Meat Depress"? (Bob Linden blood sugar: 82) - How will Kucinich react to a common tater (you are what you eat) like Bob Linden asking such probing political questions as "Can you impeach someone who was never really elected?" and "Do you think we can explain the actions of the Speaker of the House as her political ambition to be on the ticket - a McCain/Pelosi ticket?" How does Kucinich see the presidential race? Is he interested in VP or a cabinet position? What's next for impeachment and what can citizens do? Why only 35 articles? Why did Kucinich GO VEGAN and why is he so happy about it?

Photo from www.vgt.at This interview with Dr. Martin Balluch from 2004 is presented by Animal Voices as an act of solidarity with Dr. Balluch and three of his colleagues, who were brutally arrested in the early morning of May 21st, 2008 and remain in police custody without charge. In a statement from prison, Dr. Balluch writes that the Public Prosecution Service is determined to frame him and the other activists for alleged "animal related criminal activities," though they have not been formally charged with any offence. No evidence has been presented that links any of them to illegal acts. There has been an outpouring of support from around the world for the imprisoned activists, including from Amnesty International, who have strongly criticized the actions of Austrian Police. For extensive coverage and analysis of these unlawful arrests, and for information on how you can get involved in helping the Austrian activists, please visit the Verein Gegen Tierfabriken (Association Against Animal Factories) website: www.vgt.at.

Detail from "Second Stage of Cruelty" by William Hogarth. Public domain image from Wikipedia. The animal movements are known for their use of graphic images, but what is the history behind such strategies? How have these images changed over time? When are these images successful and when do they backfire? Dr. Keri Cronin, Assistant Professor in the Department of Visual Arts at Brock University, discusses the history of the movements, some of the key advocates, and the strategies they deployed. For example, Cronin describes the legacy of social reformer and antivivisectionist Frances Power Cobbe, particularly her creative appropriation of scientific images. At times subverting the status quo, and other times reinforcing it, the visual history of early animal activism tells us something important not only about past treatment of animals, but also about the social contexts within which advocates struggled.

Photo from Annex Cat Rescue In our first interview, Barbara Isherwood, a member of the volunteer-run Annex Cat Rescue (ACR), talks about the ins and outs of working with feral cats. We delve into the elusive lives of these animals, the underlying causes of their homelessness, and the creative ways the ACR helps. With the arrival of spring comes the birth of many kittens, and the need for volunteers grows even greater. From feeding cats for an hour a week, to screening potential adopters, aiding with the Trap-Neuter/Spay-Return (TNR), or making a financial donation, among other useful contributions, the Annex Cat Rescue offers crucial support to thousands of cats who are too often neglected or simply forgotten. Isherwood calls her volunteering with the ACR the most rewarding aspect of her life. Tune in to find out why. Then, Michelle Cliffe, WSPA's Communications Manager, provides an update about the organization's efforts to help animals affected by Cyclone Nargis in Burma/Myanmar.

Also, after 7 years of urging by some that the name of this program - "GO VEGAN WITH BOB LINDEN" may be too radical, too cult-like, too out-of-the-mainstream, that appeaser - bob - considers changing the name of the show to "GO VEGAN LIKE OPRAH WITH BOB LINDEN".

Ever considered becoming a vet? If so, you may encounter some unexpected ethical dilemmas in your training. In this engaging interview, Dr. Erika Sullivan provides an intimate portrait of her veterinary school experience. An award-winning graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph, Ontario, Sullivan is concerned that many students still choose to practice surgical techniques on live animals. The animals are transported to the college, kept in the students' care, later anesthetized, operated upon, and then killed. Where do the animals come from, and why are healthy animals being "euthanized"? Given that an alternative stream exists, why do the majority of students opt for the regular program? Which program provides the better learning experience? Dr. Sullivan answers these and other questions as we don our scrubs and tour the veterinary classroom. Invaluable to both potential students and the general public, Sullivan's perspective is informed as much by science as compassion.

WSPA in Pakistan after an earthquake in 2005. Source: wspa-international.org Although animals are clearly affected by natural and political disasters, their lives are often not prioritized in relief efforts, while their plight also receives little media coverage. WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals) predicts that many animals have already died and countless others are now suffering in the wake of Cyclone Nargis in Burma/Myanmar. In this interview, Project Manager Josey Kitson explains the role of WSPA's emergency response team and what they hope to accomplish once the country's borders open to foreign aid. We hear about the role of the team, their preparations for disaster relief, and the lessons learned from years of experience. (Click here for an update on the situation, and WSPA's efforts.)

Peta's eye-opening documentary about current practices of animal agriculture.

Bob Barker & Frederico Taimie L. Bryant Original air date: November 22, 2005 First, Bob Barker, venerable host of The Price Is Right for the past 34 years, explains his motivation for donating 1 million dollars each to the law schools of Stanford, Columbia, Northwestern, Duke, UCLA and Harvard to fund animal rights law courses. A passionate animal advocate, Bob also set up the DJ & T Foundation in honour of his wife, Dorothy Jo, and his mother, Matilda (Tilly) Valandra, to fund low cost spay/neuter clinics and voucher programs as a way to help relieve animal over population. Then we speak with Taimie L. Bryant, PhD, professor of law at UCLA who has taught classes in animal law since 1995. In 1998, she was the lead drafter of California state legislation to shift animal sheltering from killing to saving lives. More recently, Professor Bryant is utilizing the literature of social justice activism in feminism and disability rights areas in order to inform activism for animals. In particular, she seeks to combine the approaches of radical feminism and social justice activism in her work on animal protection. She is also developing projects that combine social science with law with funds from a generous endowment by Bob Barker to UCLA Law School for the purpose of animal rights law teaching and scholarship.
