In this compelling episode, I have the privilege of conversing with the founder of the Duo Duo Project, an organization dedicated to eradicating China's Dog and Cat Meat Trade.

Andrea's journey began with her deep affection for dogs. A pivotal moment occurred when she received a warning about her own dog potentially falling victim to the illicit dog meat trade. Upon investigating the industry, she was confronted with the harsh reality that surpassed her initial apprehensions. Shockingly, over 10 million dogs are slaughtered for meat in China every year.

Throughout this episode, Andrea sheds light on the staggering scale of the issue, delves into the prevailing societal attitudes, and explores actionable steps we can take to contribute to a solution. I challenge her to explore the ethical distinctions, if any, between consuming dogs and other animals such as pigs, chickens, or cows.Get ready, this is a good one. Enjoy the episode.
