This week our animal feature - Annalie Chow speaks to social worker and certified pet bereavement counsellor Lok Poon, about dealing with the loss of beloved animal companions.

Pet bereavement counsellor Lok Poon

Humans run the world. For centuries, animals have lived among us. Some became our rides, our companions, our hunters, our defenders, as friends bound to us by bonds as close as the ones by blood; others became our food, our merchandise, our source of pride, our slaves, nothing but mere objects to us. This dichotomy continues into the 21st century, in which human-animal conflicts show no sign of abating, rather the contrary. In this podcast series, we explore the relationship between humans and animals and what we must do for a better future together. 
Presented and Produced by Annalie Chow.
