Animal Wise Radio today focuses today on advocacy for wildlife and companion animals. Mike and Beth welcome Rob Lott, Policy Manager with WDC - Whale and Dolphin Conservation. (Whales.org)

WDC advocates for our world's cetaceans, and has launched a brilliant campaign connecting travelers' wallets, Virgin Air, Sea World and the plight of captive Orcas. Listen to hear how you can help.

We also welcome first time guest, Eileen McFall, a private citizen from Stockton, California. She, along with other advocates, voiced concerns about Stockton's animal shelter that yielded promises, but no real change. Hear how she and other plaintiffs came to the point of filing a formal suit against the city, its shelter, and shelter supervisor.
