Humane Talk #8003 (2-03-2014)

Humane Talk (2-03-2014) #8003: The “humane economy:” Tracie and Wayne talk about the idea of businesses reflecting humane values—such as whale watching instead of whale hunting, pet stores supporting adoption instead of puppy mills, or ecotourism instead of seal killing; they discuss horse slaughter, including the closure of U.S. slaughter plants in recent years and the continuing efforts to stop the export of American horses to Canada and Mexico to be killed for human consumption.
