Today Animal Wise Radio invites Sean Cosgrove of the Conservation Law Foundation to talk with us about National Ocean Policy, signed this week, as an Executive Order by President Obama. Forty years in the making, National Ocean Policy provides industry, ecologists and sporting enthusiasts a framework for conversation ...and planning. We'll dig into this conversation and try to understand how this order may help us all become better stewards of our ocean waters. Lewis and Paula Turner, pet lovers, pet shop owners, and big hearted thinkers are joining us to talk about their "modest proposal." They have a dream for shelters and pet shops to be working as partners in adoptions. Nathan Winograd joins us to celebrate passage of the Delaware Animal Protection Act, a law that mandates collaboration between shelters and rescue groups similar to California's existing Hayden Law, and Oreo's Law still pending in NY.
