Animal Wise Radio hosts Mike and Beth welcome back some favorite guests today who have important and inspiring updates to share.

Adam Roberts, Exec. V.P. of Born Free USA brings news from the 2013 CITES Conference. This Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species is a forum for advocates to stand for protection of wild, endangered species when the tide seems against their survival. Born Free advocates tirelessly on behalf of wildlife and practices that threaten their status, and had an active role in some important debates.

We also welcome back Davyd Smyth, an advocate with No Kill Colorado, and founder of PeopleFud.com. He shares some of the ways Colorado is mobilizing for June 11, Just One Day 2013 (JustOneDay.ws).

Michael Mountain from EarthInTransition.org writes of vivisection, humble mice, primates and goats, and why they deserve better than life in a lab or on a battle field as some observe World Laboratory Animal Day.
