Ep. 2: GAY ARK

A Field Guide to Gay Animals

Synopsis: In search of a face-to-snout meeting with real Gay Animals, Laine travels to the Humble Pig Animal Sanctuary, where they meet a crew of runaway dogs, feral chickens and escapees from a pig farm. There they learn what a new environment can do for an animal’s sexuality. Then, Owen and Laine speak with Dr. Laurel Braitman about how zoos and natural history museums tell us a much straighter story about animals than the animals themselves.

Guests: Eliza Zeitlin, from Humble Pig Animal Sanctuary, and Dr. Laurel Braitman, author of Animal Madness: Inside Their Minds
