Liz and TJ are the founders of the Full of Joy Animal Sanctuary. It's a sanctuary run on vegan principles and on a not for profit basis by volunteers. It provides forever homes to animals in need, including pigs, goats, ponies, chickens, turkeys, geese and sheep. In this episode, Liz and T.J. reveal unique insights into human behaviour and attitudes towards other animals ... and what needs to change. 

Defra is mentioned in the episode.  This is the UK government's Department for the Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. 

Ways to support the sanctuary

Shortly after the discussion, Storm Éowyn destroyed the entire stables. Understandably, Liz and T.J. are appealing for financial help to get back to being fully operational. Their crowdfunding appeal has gone well, but they still need more. So please donate if you can via the crowdfunding link from the Full of Joy website or via the sanctuary's Ko-fi page.

Other ways you can volunteer your help if you live in the Calder Valley of West Yorkshire, UK:

• Cuddling pigs
• Making crafts
• Picking up poos
• Fundraising
• Admin/ paperwork
• Maintaining/posting to Facebook, Instagram, Kofi
