Ukraine’s Refugees Come in All Species: How PETA Germany and Daniel Cox are Helping Dogs & Cats Escape War
In this timely episode, Kathy speaks with Daniel Cox, the Campaigns Team Director with PETA Germany, who has been on the front lines helping companion animals flee Ukraine with their human counterparts. The two discuss:
- PETA Germany’s quick deployment to the Ukrainian border only 72 hours after the Russian invasion began
- The logistical issues families and refugees face when deciding to transport their companion animals across the border
- The “happy ending” for a street dog, Mishka, and his fellow canine friend caught in the midst of war
- The literal TONS of pet food that PETA Germany has brought to shelters and communities within Ukraine
- How listeners can help Ukraine’s animals in this urgent time
