Curtis and Nancy Sliwa, discuss various issues surrounding animal rights. They begin with a passionate recounting of a recent protest against horse-drawn carriages in Central Park, detailing several incidents where untethered horses ran loose, highlighting the industry's dangers. The conversation also touches on the legislative efforts to ban horse carriages and the misleading role of the union representing the drivers. Curtis shares his theory on drivers using shocker devices on horses to make them appear lively to tourists. They shift focus to other animal welfare topics, including the campaign for no-kill shelters, reducing pet care costs, and stricter prosecution for animal abuse. The episode also lauds significant developments like the Trump administration's ban on animal testing in the U.S. Navy and NIH's ceasing use of beagles for experiments. They wrap up by previewing an award-winning documentary on cats and discussing the harmful practice of declawing cats. Curtis emphasizes the importance of spreading awareness and encourages listeners to support his mayoral campaign, which prioritizes animal welfare.
