The Off the Leash Podcast 1.3
UK-based environmental and animal welfare campaigners Dominic Dyer and Charlie Moores are off the leash. In our third episode we begin by discussing the Queen's Speech and potential advances for animal welfare (including animal sentience, hare coursing, foie gras) and what was left out (the badger cull, the fishing industry, a commitment to ban snares). We look at trophy hunting (with a pre-record from Eduardo Goncalves, founder of the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting) and deer shooting at English Heritage's Wrest Park (kudos Bedfordshire Against Trophy Hunting fo that story). We discuss whether Jonathan Seed, the Conservative's candidate for Wiltshire's Police and Crime Commissioner, should have ever been put forward. We take a long look at grouse moor lobby group C4PMC and supply a long list of wildlife crime/raptor persecution to counter their propaganda. In 'Hero and Villian' we praise both Dr Paula Kahumbu and the individuals who worked to return a Minke Whale to the sea, and return to Jonathan Seed as our villain of the week. In '60 Second Sell' we flag up Salford Wildlife, Colin Marshall of livingworldeducation.com, Nicky Campbell's podcast (which Dominic guested on), and the Animal Welfare Party.
