Animals Today – May 20, 2012. Hardy Jones explains Peruvian dolphin strandings. Marina Dervan promotes An Act of Dog

On this show, Lori was first joined by conservation filmmaker and author Hardy Jones. Hardy is recently back from Peru where nearly one thousand dead dolphins and porpoises have washed up onto the beach. He shared some new insight as to why this might have happened. Hardy also has a new book titled The Voice of the Dolphins.

During the discussion with Lori, the topic of health benefits of omega 3 fatty acids came up. Lori did not mention this, but for vegans, a product called Omega Zen, provides omega 3s derived from algae. That’s what we take.

Then, Marina Dervan came on to discuss the project, An Act of Dog. Artist Mark Barone is painting 5500 dog portraits to support companion animal welfare. Listen in to find out how to buy one and support this massive undertaking. A very exciting project, we think you will agree.
