Today, Animal Wise Radio features Dan Mechley, purveyor of fine pet products and foods at Its A Pets Life stores in the Minneapolis metro area and online ItsAPetsLife.com. As pet food and treat recalls and warnings are constantly posted, how can we make good choices for our pets at the store, considering nutritional and production quality?

Michael Mountain of Earth in Transition ponders the idea of animals in space and why are we compelled to call them heroes?

We'll also speak with Dallas Rising from the Animal Rights Coalition, a group that exists, "because animals matter." Their creative programming and outreach continues to expand - listen to hear what they've got cooking at AnimalRightsCoalition.com!
