    Animal Liberation — Амьтны эрх: Товч тойм ба Монгол дахь ач холбогдол

    In this episode, I reflect on the main ideas of Animal Liberation and what they mean in the context of Mongolia. The book invites us to think more carefully about a simple but important question: if animals can feel pain, fear, and distress, what responsibility do we have toward them? In Mongolia, the relationship between people and animals has always been shaped by nature, tradition, and daily life. Today, however, social change and urban growth have created new challenges. The increasing number of free-roaming dogs and cats is not only a practical issue—it also reflects how our understanding of animal care and responsibility is still evolving. Looking at these realities through the perspective of Animal Liberation, animal welfare is not only about rescue or kindness. It is about awareness, social values, and how a society defines its responsibility toward vulnerable living beings. Real and lasting change begins with how we think. Expanding our ethical awareness is an important step toward building stronger systems, greater public responsibility, and a more humane future for animals in Mongolia.

    The Snow Leopard Lesson

    This episode explores how snow leopard conservation in Mongolia became a successful example of long-term, community-based change. For many years, conflict between herders and snow leopards threatened the species. Real progress began when the focus shifted from protecting the animal alone to supporting the people and systems around it. Programs that combined community engagement, education, livestock insurance, and local participation helped reduce conflict and build long-term protection. Today, this approach is recognized as one of Mongolia’s most effective conservation models. The lesson goes beyond wildlife. It shows that lasting change happens when problems are addressed at the system level — through prevention, community support, and long-term commitment. The same system-based thinking is urgently needed for Mongolia’s free-roaming dogs and cats. At Paws Mongolia, we believe real progress comes from building humane systems that support communities, promote responsible care, and prevent suffering before it begins. If a system can protect a rare wild species, it can also transform the lives of the animals living beside us every day. Follow Paws Mongolia to learn how community-based solutions can create a more humane future for Mongolia’s animals.

    Rural Mongolia: The Missing Piece in Animal Care

    In Mongolia, the challenges facing free-roaming dogs and cats look very different outside the capital. While urban areas have limited rescue groups and veterinary services, most rural communities have no shelters, little access to medical care, and almost no population management support. At the same time, traditional practices and harsh winter conditions make survival especially difficult for animals living without consistent care. This episode explores why much of the long-term suffering occurs in rural areas, and why Mongolia’s future progress depends on more than individual rescue efforts. A national system for population management, veterinary access, and coordinated support is needed — along with growing community awareness and shared responsibility. Because lasting change in Mongolia must reach beyond the city and reflect the realities of the country’s vast rural landscape.

    Өөрчлөлт ойлголтоос эхэлнэ. (Mongolian language)

    Энэ удаагийн дугаарт бид нийгмийн өөрчлөлт бодлогоос бус, харин хүмүүсийн ойлголт, хандлагаас хэрхэн эхэлдэг тухай ярилцана. Өнөөдөр Монголд амьтдын асуудлын гол шалтгаан нь зөвхөн тоо биш, харин бид тэднийг хэрхэн харж, хэрхэн ойлгож байгаатай холбоотой. Хандлага өөрчлөгдөхгүй бол ямар ч шийдэл тогтвортой байх боломжгүй. Paws Mongolia-ийн гол зорилго бол олон нийтийн боловсрол, мэдлэг, хариуцлагын соёлыг дэмжих замаар урт хугацааны, хүмүүнлэг өөрчлөлтийг бий болгох юм. Жижиг ойлголт, жижиг сонголт бүр нийгмийн том өөрчлөлтийн эхлэл болдог. Хэрэв та илүү ухаалаг, тогтвортой, хариуцлагатай нийгмийг дэмжихийг хүсвэл манай подкастыг дагаж, хамтдаа өөрчлөлтийг эхлүүлье.

    Хайр уу, хариуцлага уу? (Mongolian language)

    Бид амьтдад хайртай гэж их ярьдаг. Гэхдээ хайр хангалттай юу? Энэ дугаарт бид хайр ба хариуцлага хоёрын ялгааны тухай ярилцана. Амьтанд энэрэх сэтгэл чухал ч бодит өөрчлөлт нь урт хугацааны хариуцлага, урьдчилан бодсон шийдвэрээс эхэлдэг. Амьтан тэжээх нь зөвхөн сэтгэл хөдлөлийн сонголт биш. Энэ нь тэдний амьдрал, аюулгүй байдал, ирээдүйн төлөөх ёс зүйн үүрэг юм. Өнөөдөр тулгарч буй олон асуудлын үндэс нь хайр дутсандаа биш, харин хариуцлагын ойлголт бүрэн төлөвшөөгүйтэй холбоотой. Жинхэнэ хүмүүнлэг нийгэм гэдэг нь зөвхөн өрөвдөх сэтгэлээр бус, харин урт хугацааны хариуцлага, ухамсартай сонголтоор бий болдог.

    Changing Mindsets for Mongolia’s Free-Roaming Animals

    Mongolia has taken important steps to address the growing population of free-roaming dogs and cats, including the introduction of a national pet law. However, enforcement alone cannot solve the issue. This episode explores the deeper challenge behind the problem — public awareness and cultural mindset. Across the country, many animals are still viewed as outdoor or temporary responsibility, and knowledge about sterilization, long-term care, and responsible ownership is still developing. At the same time, limited resources and coordination make population control difficult through enforcement alone. At Paws Mongolia, our focus is prevention through education and community awareness. Lasting change happens when people understand their role and everyday decisions begin to change. Because real progress is not only about responding to the problem today — it is about creating a future where fewer animals become free-roaming.

    What’s Driving Mongolia’s Free-Roaming Animal Population?

    Mongolia is a country of vast landscapes, deep cultural heritage, and a strong connection between people and animals. But in recent decades, Mongolia has faced a growing challenge: the rapid increase of free-roaming dogs and cats. As Mongolia opened to the global economy and new lifestyles, companion animal ownership increased. At the same time, unregulated breeding, limited public awareness about responsible care, and economic pressures have contributed to a rising free-roaming population. Across urban, suburban, and rural areas, many animals face harsh conditions, and access to veterinary care and organized support remains very limited. This episode explores the key factors behind Mongolia’s free-roaming animal challenge and why the issue is not only about animals, but about education, community responsibility, and long-term social change. At Paws Mongolia, our approach focuses on research-based education, public awareness, and community-centered solutions that address the root causes of the problem. We believe lasting change begins with knowledge, compassion, and shared responsibility. If you care about sustainable solutions, humane communities, and the future of companion animals in Mongolia, this conversation is for you.

    Бид өдөр бүр гудамжинд нохой, муур хардаг. Гэхдээ бид өөрөөсөө нэг асуулт асууж үздэг үү? Тэд юу мэдэрч байгаа бол? Энэ дугаарт бид амьтны асуудлын тухай биш, харин анзаарах чадвар, ёс зүй, болон философийн нэг энгийн санааны тухай ярилцана. Paws Mongolia нь АНУ-д төвтэй ашгийн бус байгууллага бөгөөд Монгол дахь амьтны сайн сайхан, хүмүүнлэг хандлага, олон нийтийн ойлголтыг нэмэгдүүлэх чиглэлээр ажилладаг.
