Animals Are Calling is a powerful podcast by World Animal Protection that explores the deep connection between animals, people, and the planet. Across two seasons, we uncover the often hidden impacts of human activities on animals, shedding light on the complex emotions they experience, from pain to joy, and exposing the systems that contribute to their suffering. Through expert discussions, real-world stories, and scientific insights, we aim to inspire change and offer practical solutions for a kinder, more compassionate world.
In season one, host Carly Squires is joined by a panel of experts from World Animal Protection to address some of the biggest issues affecting animals today. From global pandemics to the climate crisis, we hold the systems behind animal cruelty accountable, revealing the ways in which industrial practices and environmental destruction harm not only animals but people and the planet as well. Each episode uncovers the root causes of animal suffering and offers actionable steps for how we can work together to dismantle these harmful systems and build a better future.
Season two expands the conversation to focus on the deeper meaning of animal sentience and its far-reaching implications. Featuring voices from around the globe, we explore how factory farming, wildlife exploitation, and habitat loss directly affect individual animals, while also examining the science behind their emotions. Contributors share how learning about animal sentience has transformed their lives, businesses, and practices, highlighting what still needs to be done to end cruelty and suffering on a global scale. This season empowers listeners with the knowledge and tools to take meaningful action in their daily lives.
Animals Are Calling challenges listeners to not only understand the suffering animals face but to become part of the solution. By shedding light on the systems of cruelty and the science of sentience, we offer a roadmap for ending animal suffering once and for all. Together, we can change the way the world works to protect animals and the planet we all share.
