The next Stefan Good Day download with
Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,039
part by Keltron, which is the
safe way for you to lose weight and

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,839
keep it off, and also by
previagent keeping your brain healthy. The Pet

4
00:00:12,839 --> 00:00:16,679
Show is our focus right now.
Warren Eckstein is our focus. And Happy

5
00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:21,199
New Year to all you animal lovers
who like listening to Warren, whether he's

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,239
here or on the Pet Show Hurt
on a lot of these same stations every

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:29,399
weekend around the country. He is
really an expert when it comes to taking

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,960
care of animals. We were just
talking off the air about a number of

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,119
things that affect our animal population.
This new three D printed device that Jay

10
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,840
and I were talking about earlier,
which has aimed. The developers of this

11
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:47,079
say they wanted to use it because
it gets rid of the need to test

12
00:00:47,679 --> 00:00:55,479
drugs and chemicals on animals, and
so they've gotten a funding boost from some

13
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:02,520
private entities that are somehow rather weren't
getting a hold of human heart cells and

14
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,760
lungs and kidney cells and liver cells
and brain cells. I don't know how

15
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,359
they do that, but at least
they're not having to test live animals,

16
00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:14,439
and so that's why I thought this
would be good for you. I thought

17
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,680
you'd be interested in this because it's
a problem. The animal approach versus the

18
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,920
non animal approach is a non starter, I think in conversation, isn't it.

19
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,719
Well, you know, this is
a battle I've been fighting for more

20
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,079
years than I'd like to imagine,
and a lot of it is based on

21
00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:32,959
money. There have been computer projects
and samples where they didn't have to test

22
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,840
on animals. But what happened to
give you a prime example years ago,

23
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,200
I was involved with the debate,
and the debate was on animal testing,

24
00:01:38,719 --> 00:01:42,159
and they talked about this, and
they talked about that. So one university

25
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:49,400
got millions of dollars to study the
effects of a certain drugs on black ponies.

26
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,760
Another group, another college, got
the same amount of money to study

27
00:01:53,760 --> 00:02:00,400
the same drugs on white ponies.
White ponies and black ponies physiologically are exactactly

28
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:04,799
the same, exactly the same.
So it was the redundancy. That's where

29
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,439
I really got angry about the redundancy
of the testing because based on that,

30
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:12,360
more and more places we're getting money
to do more testing. Nowadays, I

31
00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:15,719
believe there's really no need for testing
on animals, with the computer technology we

32
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,599
have, it is just just abusive
as far as I'm concerned. And some

33
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,879
of the abuses, you know,
even years ago it was worse. But

34
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,599
the abuse these animals go through the
testing of with rabbits, with with makeups,

35
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,280
squirting stuff in their eyes, which
I had to deal with years ago,

36
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,560
and just I don't understand how people
can do that. Maybe years ago

37
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:36,360
there might have been some need or
some idea that we can find this out

38
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:38,039
or we can find that out.
But with technology the way it is,

39
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:42,639
what you guys were talking about,
and all the new technology, it's amazing

40
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,680
to me that that that animal experimentation
is still part of our are a way

41
00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:50,919
of doing things that makes you wonder, doesn't it. It does make you

42
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,199
want, But it's always dollars and
cents. Everything always boils down. So

43
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,879
if you give me money, I'll
do this, you know. Yep?

44
00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:00,479
Yeah, all right. Larren lives
in the to southern California, as I

45
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,800
do part time. I noticed that
there are a lot of wildlife watchers off

46
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,520
the coasts that have been treated to
a number of orca sightings. Orcas do

47
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,199
they be? Are they eating dolphins? How does the food chain work with

48
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:20,199
sharks, orcas and dolphins. Orcas
are likely. Yeah, they're kind of

49
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,039
like the high predators, so there's
not too many. There's not too many

50
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,199
animals that can fit an ochre in
their mouth. Yeah, so yeah,

51
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,400
they just so. In fact,
there was some great vitnoch great. I

52
00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:32,280
hate to say great, but there's
some beautiful photos or videos of the orcas

53
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,680
going after the dolphins, which breaks
my heart. But that's that's nature.

54
00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:38,919
That's the way things survive. I
haven't seen any. I've been going down

55
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,599
to the beach, but the waves
have been so high here in Santa Monica,

56
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,319
in the water so rough. For
the last few days, I haven't

57
00:03:45,319 --> 00:03:49,039
seen any orcas. I had the
opportunity years ago of hanging out with an

58
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,759
orca and actually give them a beautiful
kiss on the nose. But they're really

59
00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:54,560
impressive animals. Yeah I got to
follow of it somewhere in my book,

60
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,080
But they're impressive animals. They're they're
amazing, and just leave them alone.

61
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,759
If we just leave the animals alone, what a great world this will be.

62
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,800
It scares me when people go out
there though, on these well watching

63
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,319
tours, because I really think it
upsets the animals themselves. All right.

64
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:15,439
So here's this story that'll make your
day about a dog named Neo who had

65
00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:18,839
been in a shelter for four hundred
and fifty days. It was part of

66
00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:24,879
an animal abuse trial going on.
There were a number of like where my

67
00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:28,439
dog came from. There were forty
dogs in this one house, and they

68
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,920
put the guy in jail who had
been running it. And this is another

69
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,120
example of that with dogs that are
in My dog was in more than four

70
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:42,600
hundred fair he was in there almost
two years anyway. So they found one

71
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:46,480
of these dogs, the dog named
Neo, as they emptied out this house.

72
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:54,000
And now they're using this dog to
rehab. They go to rehab homes

73
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:00,600
with him, and apparently one of
the homes wanted to adopt him did so.

74
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,079
This dog is the dog is the
dog of the house, if you

75
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:10,240
will. It's a rehab facility in
central Arkansas. And the dog goes from

76
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,879
floor to floor to room to room
and just brightens everybody's day. And they

77
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,439
do exactly that, Doug. They
brighten everybody's day just seeing petting, holding,

78
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,839
looking, laughing, smiling. Boy, there's nothing in a world like

79
00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:26,240
a good a good day spent with
a dog or a cat. Yep,
