ProtegoCast Season 2 Episode 7: Adopt Don’t Shop

Dec 30, 2021

In this week’s episode, Ali and Emma are joined by Jordan Page to speak about Adopt Don’t Shop, and how adopting a companion animal rather than purchasing from pet stores or breeders is always the best option! 

 

 Also in this episode: 

 

1. Protego’s Pygmy Puff campaign back when The Protego Foundation was the Fwooper Foundation 
2. Eelop’s Owl Emporium / Magical Menagerie - what are the benefits of adoption shelters vs ‘Pet shops’ and how can we help these places
3. Ban on experimental breeding, dragon Breeding and fwoopers - why breeding is harmful and how adoption helps lessen the impacts of breeding
4. Adopting rescued animals - challenges associated with adoption, and responsibilities associated with adopting animals - considering past trauma and health requirements, not just randomly selecting companion animals like Hagrid!
5. Initial reactions to the Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore trailer

 

We’ll return soon for another episode exploring animal rights in the wizarding world, but in the meantime, be sure to send us your thoughts via email, leave a review, join our Patreon, and, on behalf of all magical creatures, Protego Maxima!
