World Week for Animals in Laboratories            
                                                                                                                  and the Spiritual Mandate to Compassion
On today's show we take a closer look at the outdated and cruel industry of vivisection, as Dr. Elliot Katz of In Defense of Animals explains the global observation of World Week for Animals in Laboratories.
We'll also investigate the opportunities for outreach to faith-based communities in bringing the message of animal compassion into houses of worship, and learn of the ongoing hunger relief efforts the International Vegetarian Relief Charity, Food for Life here in Houston.

Fosters needed for Puppies/ Kittens- a message from NoKillHouston
"Now, to Mr. Williams' request....  among the improvements he wants to make is to stop the deaths of so many puppies and kittens from diseases at BARC.   Since they are too small for all of their vaccinations, their immune systems just can't handle the diseases that are at  BARC.   Most just don't make it out of BARC.   Mr. Williams' goal is for puppies and kittens to never  enter BARC at all.   He wants field personnel to be able to take them  directly to temporary foster homes. I think this is a great idea and will save lots of tiny lives.   That's where we need your help.  
 
I am developing a list of rescue groups and individuals who will agree to take puppies and kittens to foster temporarily.   I would like it to be a fairly large list so that none of us gets bombarded and overwhelmed.   The good news is that field personnel will bring the animals to you, so you don't have to try to get to BARC before it closes.   We also talked about having medicines delivered if the little ones should get sick .... I know almost all of my foster kitties end up with upper respiratory infections or diarrea. Pretty simple to fix but  it's next to impossible for me to get to BARC to get meds.   He's trying to make it as convenient as possible, but we will probably have to work out some kinks along the way since this is a new program."

          home as a valued family member.
      * To step in and rescue or foster special-needs rabbits,
          who are at risk of death or injury, whenever possible.
