In this show, Meg and Caroline discuss the history of companion animals and pethood and the ethical dilemmas this can raise.

Music we played:

Strange Fruit by Billie Holliday

This is America by Childish Gambino

Gibson Girl by Ethel Cain

We also highlighted the work of Melbourne Activist Legal Support (MALS). MALS is an all-volunteer organisation that provides training for protest movements, information & resources on the rights to protest in Victoria, and fields Legal Observer Teams that monitor and report on the policing of protest events. MALS train organisers and activist groups in legal support approaches and strategies, and can help coordinate activist legal support with supportive law firms and community legal centres.

MALS legal observers are always on the frontline of Victoria’s diverse and powerful social movements and have a current fundraising campaign that will allow them to produce more training and resoures to #FundtheFrontline
