  • Episode 6 - Getting a Head Start in Animal Care with Lucy Cull

    Episode 6 - Getting a Head Start in Animal Care with Lucy Cull
    Aug 14 2024
    What happens when you expose teenagers to animals of every variety, every day, as part of their school day? Listen in as Lucy Cull of Wolverley Animal Centre in Worcestershire, UK, tells us how she inspires kids to love animals and foster human/animal bonds with their menagerie. Wolverley Animal Centre is part of a rural high school and treated like any other department. Lucy is the department head and, along with her team, teaches 14 to 16 year olds BTEC Level 2 Animal Care, giving them a headstart in their animal careers and allowing them to access Level 3 in college, 1 level ahead of their college peers. Not only do the kids learn about animals, they also gain valuable life skills working for the centre, which will allow them to hit the grpund running when their school days are over. An inspirational lady, with an amazing facility, doing extraordinary things for both animals and children. You can find out more about Wolverley Animal Centre through their pages on Facebook and Instagram.

  • Episode 4 - Pet Theft Reform with Dr Daniel Allen

    Episode 4 - Pet Theft Reform with Dr Daniel Allen
    May 15 2024
    In the latest episode of Critterish Chatter, I chat with Dr Daniel Allen - Animal Geographer, Freelance Writer, founder of #PetTheftReform and patron of SAMPA (Stolen and Missing Pets Alliance). We chat about Pet Theft Reform and how, for 20 plus years, many people have relentlessly campaigned to bring a law into being that sees pet theft for what it truly is - not theft of an inanimate possession, but the theft (kidnap if you will) of a much loved family member. We also talk about other projects that Dr Dan has worked on and how the human animal connection is important to us all. So, without further ado, lets get into it. You can find Pet Theft Reform on Facebook & X or via their website www.pettheftreform.com You can find Dr Dan on X (@Dr_Dan_1) Facebook & LinkedIn. If you are interested in his academic papers, then put his name in Google and go down the rabbit hole... Some truly awesome stuff. If you want to follow me - I'm Dale Preece-Kelly and my business is Critterish Allsorts, we are both all over the socials! Message us if you like
