Most pet store puppies are bred in large commercial facilities known as puppy mills, where dogs can spend their lives in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions with little human contact or veterinary care.  In this episode, John Goodwin of Humane World for Animals offers guidance to help consumers recognize the difference between a responsible breeder and a commercial breeding operation.

Invasive pests cost the U.S. an estimated $40 billion each year and pose a growing threat to crops, forests, and the food supply.  To talk with us what’s at stake for agriculture and local ecosystems, and the simple steps people can take to help stop them, we’re joined by David Gruchot, an Assistant National Policy Manager with USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
