September 19 , 2007 Healthy Animals

We live in an interdependent web. Animals play key historic roles as producers of food, agricultural labor, a source of organic fertilizer, transportation and companionship. Our health and happiness is intertwined with the well being of our pets, farm animals and wildlife. Join us as we discuss the health of animals.

We invite your calls and email with questions, comments and personal stories about substance abuse and ways we can prevent it.
