Are you concerned about the COVID-19 virus and the possibility of future pandemics? On this month's Voices for the Animals, Michele Coppola talks with Scott Beckstead, Oregon's Rural Outreach Director for the Humane Society of the United States and an expert on animal agriculture about the fractured animal-human relationship that caused the latest coronavirus pandemic. We'll also talk about The Tiger King and the dark side of exotic animal ownership, hoarding and exploitation in the U.S.  You don't want to miss this show!
