About Curtis & Nancy Sliwa's Animal Welfare Hour

The Guardian Angels Animal Protection program is moving ahead, full speed. Started by Nancy Sliwa, a cat colony caretaker for over 10 years in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, this program was started to help some of the most vulnerable and voiceless members of our society – animals. Study after study has shown that those who abuse animals are more likely to abuse people. So one of the earliest ways to combat the rise of crime in society against people is to stop abuse against animals.

Episode 21: Horse Carriages Under Fire, Queens Animal Killers in Court, and Cuomo’s No-Cash Bail Loopholes

On this episode, Curtis dives into three major animal welfare battles unfolding in New York City. First, the long fight to end the horse carriage industry in Central Park comes to a breaking point, with the Conservancy, City Council legislation, and even late moves from Mayor Adams all in play. Then, Curtis exposes the shocking case of Isaiah Gurley, accused of dragging, beating, and burning a pit bull in Queens, and the disturbing arrest of Christopher V, caught duct-taping and caging multiple pit bulls—both abusers released under Cuomo’s no-cash bail law. Finally, Curtis highlights the first-ever “Protect Animals” independent ballot line, calling for no-kill shelters and real jail time for animal abusers. Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 19: Death Row Pets, No Kill Shelter Demand, Cuomo’s Dog Controversy, Volunteer Costs Rising, Carriage Horse Ban Movement

On this episode, Curtis spotlights his Protect the Animals campaign line with its call for no-kill shelters and tougher penalties for abusers, announces the launch of “Cats for Curtis,” and shares emotional stories from New York’s shelter death row list while contrasting his platform with opponents like Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams, and Zohran Mamdani. He recalls Cuomo’s abandoned husky Captain, reacts to horrific recent abuse cases, praises rescue groups fighting to save unwanted animals, and pledges as mayor to create a rapid-response animal welfare agency and end the Central Park horse-carriage industry by replacing it with modern electric carriages.

Episode 17: How Bureaucracy and Neglect Fail Animals in NYC and Beyond

Curtis and Nancy Sliwa cover a full slate of urgent animal issues, starting with Curtis’s mayoral run and the launch of Protect Animals, the first independent political line focused solely on animal welfare. They recount a Staten Island gathering of 500 animal rescuers and outline goals like no-kill shelters and tougher penalties for abusers. They examine the death of Lady, a 15-year-old NYC carriage horse, and the stalled “Ryder’s Law” aimed at ending the industry. The Sliwas also expose NYCHA’s mistreatment of feral cats, highlight Amsterdam’s new canal staircases to save cats from drowning, discuss the euthanasia of a moose in upstate New York, and share research on the decline of blue whale songs off California linked to environmental change.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
