AR-News: Watchdog today focuses on pigs -- Jeff Masson, Bruce Friedrich, James Cromwell, Matthew Scully and Kim Sturla

[Karen Dawn]

On Watchdog, today, Monday April 5, the centerpiece of our discussion will
be the centerpiece of many tables on Sunday: the poor pig.

Our guests will be:

-- Best selling author Jeffery Masson. His new book is called "The Pig who
sang to the moon: The emotional world of farm animals."

-- Bruce Friedrich, head of vegan campaigns at PETA.  The PETA Easter
campaign is proving to be as controversial as one would expect from PETA.

And we'll hear from:

 -- Actor James Cromwell talking about his experiences with pigs while
shooting Babe,

-- Author of Dominion, Bush speechwriter Matthew Scully, discussing some
sections from that work

and from

-- Kim Sturla who runs the sanctuary Animal Place.

Watchdog is produced by Janee Taylor and hosted by Karen Dawn. It airs
Mondays at 2pm on KPFK, the Pacifica station at 90.7 FM in Los Angeles and
San Diego, and 98.7 in Santa Barbara.

We will take callers and would love your participation. The call-in number

Listen if you can, and please send comments to Watchdog at KPFK.org . (I send a
huge thank you to those who already have.)
Watchdog is a 13 week series. Positive feedback will make it more likely
that Pacifica will eventually put an animal issues series on the air
permanently.

Thanks to Ted Vegvari and PVNET (http://www.pvnet.com/ ) you can now listen
on line to shows you wanted to hear but missed. To find the shows go to

We had some technical difficulty last week, and apologize to those who tried
to listen to archives but could not. We think those issues are now resolved.

The first five shows of the series are up there now, and today's show should
be available by tomorrow morning.
