Humane Talk (4-21-2014) #8015: Lions, Tigers & Bears: wild, dangerous animals were being kept as pets in Ohio and dozens of tigers, lions, and other animals were killed after being released by an unstable man, a tragic example of why stronger laws are needed; Tracie and Wayne discuss the ban on bullfighting in Catalonia, a province in northeastern Spain, a successful milestone in the ongoing campaign to end this blood sport elsewhere.
