Buck and friend

On today’s show, we feature the documentary film, Buck. Both its star, Buck Brannaman and the creator and

Cindy Meehl

director, Cindy Meehl, provide their perspectives on the making of and the reaction to this Sundance award winning film. Plus we talk about horses and people. Here is the film’s site. This duo rarely does interview together so we were pleased they made it happen.

Then, we are joined by Martin Tyner, founder and CEO of Southwest Wildlife Foundation. From their site:

“With its focus on wildlife and environmental education, the SWF provides approximately 100 programs, reaching over 30, 000 people annually.” Their mission statement reads: “The Southwest Wildlife Foundation is dedicated to wildlife rescue, wildlife and environmental education.”

On today’s show, Priscilla Feral joins us to speak about the wildlife sanctuary, Primarily Primates, where she is President of their Board of Directors.

Here is the video describing Eagle Scout Joshua and Oliver, the blind chimp he helped. I was hoping to discuss this more but I am sure you will like this video.

Bottom line is that they are doing great work over there. Also mentioned is the umbrella group, Friends of Animals.

Also, Aimee Gilbreath from Found Animals comes on to discuss the newly proposed Specialty License Plate in California. The art is by Pierce Brosnan and funds raised will benefit low cost spay and neuter programs in the state.
