In segment one, Hal speaks with Brittany Thorn, executive director of Best Friends Animal Society.
She tells us about the crisis we’re dealing with locally involving homeless pets. We discuss the explosion of kittens due to the fact that warm weather makes cats breed later in the year. Thorn tells us about the recent 10th anniversary of Best Friends Animal Society, and how they’ve been trying to ameliorate the crisis, and how successful they’ve been. In segment two, Jennifer Sims is a volunteer who assists dogs and cats on Skid Row. She forms relationships with unhoused people with animals and convinces them to turn over those animals so they can find a better life.
Sims says this is a life-long commitment, and she got started by witnessing the heart-rending sight of dogs, staked out on the sidewalk in blistering heat.You can follow the efforts on Instagram at
