The exploitation and abuse of big cats as props for paid public interactions at roadside attractions will soon be a thing of the past. The Big Cat Public Safety Act, something we’ve been working on for over a decade, just became law. It’s the beginning of the end of the cringeworthy era in which breeding big cats for cub petting (a la Tiger King) was all too common.

Love and compassion for animals can bring everyone together. ‘Humane Voices’ is the official podcast of the Humane Society of the United States. We’ll explore the issues facing animals, interview worldwide animal experts, and discuss what you can do to get involved and help. If you care about the welfare of animals, or have a special pet or two in your life, this is the podcast for you.
