This week on NYK Politics, Kathryn Sussman and Zoocheck founder Rob Laidlaw give an overview of the most pressing animal welfare & environmental topics that Canadians should consider when casting their vote at the 2019 federal election.

They describe the links between climate change and conservation issues, as well as the biggest threats faced by animal species in Canada. Climate change can’t be discussed in isolation from animal welfare, and we should bridge the gap that creates a disconnect traditionally as all these questions are interwoven and affect the whole planet, including us as human beings.
