'Shortcasts’ are short standalone audio comments and statements from conservationists, campaigners, charities, authors and members of our audience. If it needs to be said – say it here!

A shortcast with actor and film-maker Lorna Nickson Brown. Lorna recently played the role of Janis Carter in the HBO Max documentary, Lucy the Human Chimp, and is currently fundraising for a short film, DOG RUN, which tells the story of a vulnerable young man who escapes conditions of modern slavery through his relationship with a dog and nature. (We here at Off the Leash have no financial interest in this film whatsoever, incidentally, we just love stories about dogs and about nature.)
