This episode includes a shout out for Noo Beginnings Animal Sanctuary, ran by friend of the show, Ella, down in the South East of the UK. Their mission is to provide solace and care for victims of neglect, cruelty, and exploitation. They also work to inspire others to have compassion and respect towards animals previously seen as product or stock for profitable gain. All donations and contributions help them provide essential veterinary care, nutritious vegan meals, comfortable shelter, and enriching activities for their animal friends. If that’s something you are able to contribute then head to https://noobeginnings.co.uk/services/ Thank You
