    What If Something Beautiful is About to Happen to You?

    In this episode of This Is My Take, we reflect on the positive moments that end up shaping our lives the most. The invitations we almost decline. The unexpected people we meet. The experiences that remind us who we are. Sometimes, the biggest turning points don't arrive with certainty. They begin with a simple decision to say YES.

    Facing 31 Years in Prison for Saving Dogs - Interview w/ Dean Guzman

    What happens when saving dogs becomes a crime? In this interview, I speak with Dean Guzman and Misha Lunski, two animal rights advocates who helped rescue 22 beagles from Ridglan Farms, a Wisconsin facility that bred dogs for animal testing. The dogs are now free, and Ridglan Farms has announced it is closing permanently. But Dean and Misha are still facing felony charges that could send them to prison for up to 31 years. We talk about what they saw inside the facility, why beagles are used in animal testing, the legal battle they are now facing, and why they believe the fight to end dog testing in the United States is far from over. Substack article: Facing 31 Years in Prison for Saving Dogs TW: Topics discussed include animal cruelty and mistreatment. -------------------------------------------- Subscribe to Dean’s Substack for updates📰: https://urbananimal.substack.com Website: https://savethedogs.io 📸 Instagram: / deanguzmanw 📸 Instagram: /misha.zveri 📸 Instagram: /truecostproject 🎥 YouTube: / @deanguzmanw 🎵 TikTok: / dean.guzman.w Selected sound bites in this piece are excerpts from Dean’s interview with journalist Kjersti Flaa, see his full interview here. ------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for listening to This is My Take, stay connected!
