"Consider The Courteous Rattlesnake"
Season 3: Episode 27 — Broadcast on Northern California radio station KVMR 89.5FM. Streaming at kvmr.org. Wednesday, June 3, 6:30pm Pacific. Podcast available day of broadcast. Rattlesnakes bite primarily to capture their main meals, small animals like rodents, rabbits and frogs. Could we consider their warning 'Don't tread on me!' — a courtesy?
Mothers
Comfort
Project
An initiative of Rational Animal, launched by our founder's mother Rheda S. Brandt in 2009, Mothers Comfort Project brings volunteers together along with makers spaces, instructors, sewing machines, fabrics and notions to sew comforting beds and toys for shelter animals, and animals in foster homes in shelters, so all animals in rescue facilities will have cozy beds and comforters to sleep in.
