    Feb 25 2022
    On this Carnival Friday edition of Animalia, we speak with three young vets who share their thoughts on the ageism and sexism that pervades their profession. It's a healing conversation that we hope vets and pet owners alike can learn from.

    The #RescueMe is a precious 7mo kitten called Jeorge and Natasha gives her commentary on the arrest and charge of the man who killed Lexi, a dog in Tobago.

  • ANIMALIA 25 - Dentist to the Rescue - 11Jun21
    Jun 11 2021
    This week we have another doctor...but he's not a vet! Dr. Brendan Bartholomew talks about how a childhood encounter turned into a lifelong love for animals, his passion for rescued dogs and the solutions to the problem of stray animals in Trinidad and Tobago.

    Natasha's commentary is about the animal cruelty cases that continue to occur, without punishment, despite amended legislation. Enforcement of the law is a must!

    *NOTE: The amended fine for animal cruelty is TT$200,000 not TT$100,000 as mentioned in the podcast. Apologies for the error!
