In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Julia „Jolle“ Arnoldi, Mitgründerin von Animal Passion, einem tierärztlichen Tierschutzverein. Wir tauchen ein in die persönlichen Beweggründe und Motivationen hinter der Vereinsgründung und sprechen über die Vision, die Jolle und ihr Team antreibt.

Von ersten Kastrationsprojekten bis hin zu vielen weiteren Initiativen – wir schauen uns an, was Animal Passion bereits umgesetzt hat und welche Ideen noch in den Startlöchern stehen. Dabei diskutieren wir auch kritisch den Auslandstierschutz und stellen die Frage: Warum scheitert es manchmal hier in Deutschland, wenn es um nachhaltigen und wirksamen Tierschutz geht?

Eine inspirierende Folge für alle, die sich für Tiere, Tierschutzarbeit und gesellschaftliches Engagement interessieren.

Was bedeutet eigentlich Tierschutz im Alltag – und was, wenn Tierliebe ins Gegenteil umschlägt? In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Julia Stubenbord, der Landestierschutzbeauftragten von Baden-Württemberg, über das hochaktuelle und emotional aufgeladene Thema Qualzucht.

Gemeinsam gehen wir unter anderem folgenden Fragen auf den Grund:

• Was genau versteht man unter „Qualzucht“ – und betrifft das nur Hunde mit kurzer Schnauze?
• Welche Tierarten sind besonders betroffen, welche werden oft übersehen?
• Welche Leiden erleben diese Tiere täglich – körperlich wie auch sozial?
• Warum werden solche Tiere überhaupt gezüchtet – und wer trägt Verantwortung?
• Welche Rolle spielen Social Media, Werbung und Influencer:innen in der Popularisierung dieser Rassen?
• Was sagt das deutsche Tierschutzgesetz zu Qualzuchten – und wie gut wird das tatsächlich durchgesetzt?

Außerdem werfen wir einen Blick in die tierärztliche Praxis, sprechen über ethische Dilemmata, Aufklärungsinitiativen und den aktuellen Stand im tiermedizinischen Studium. Julia Stubenborn teilt dabei nicht nur ihre fachliche Expertise, sondern auch ihre ganz persönliche Haltung zu einem Thema, das dringend mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient.

Jetzt reinhören – für mehr Tierschutz, Aufklärung und einen kritischen Blick hinter Zuchtstandards!

In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with pioneer in animal welfare science and ethics Clive Phillips to explore the key themes of his latest book and reflect on the evolving relationship between humans and animals. Drawing on decades of research and advocacy, Phillips shares the ethical questions that lie closest to his heart and the insights that emerged during the writing process.

Together, we unpack critical questions: What aspects of the human-animal relationship are most urgent to address today? Should we draw ethical distinctions between pets, farm animals, and wildlife? Can animals themselves be cruel—and if so, how does it compare to human cruelty? Do animals experience something akin to religion? Are humans unique within the animal kingdom?

Phillips also offers his perspective on global shifts in animal ethics, regional differences, and the progress he has witnessed over the course of his career. Looking to the future, we discuss the biggest challenges for animal welfare and what it might take to achieve a more ethical coexistence between humans and animals.

Whether you’re new to the field or deeply engaged in animal ethics, this episode invites you to reflect, question, and imagine new possibilities.

In this episode, we’re heading to the heart of the desert to talk camels—more specifically, camel welfare. Our guest is Linda Krockenberg, co-founder of the Arabian Desert Camel Riding Center (ADCRC) in Dubai. Originally from Germany, Linda's unexpected journey with camels began when she moved to the UAE and fell in love with desert culture. Today, she cares for 18 retired racing camels, giving them a new lease on life as riding companions.

We dive into what welfare means for camels and explore the existing gaps between science, cultural practices, and day-to-day camel care. Linda shares what she’s learned from local race trainers, veterinarians from around the world, and her own hands-on experiences—breaking stigmas and advocating for better understanding and treatment of these iconic animals.

Tune in as we discuss:

• What inspired Linda to start the ADCRC
• The challenges and opportunities in camel welfare across the UAE and Gulf region
• The economic and cultural roles of camels in Emirati society—from sport and milk production to leisure riding
• How camel keeping and training have evolved over time
• What a racing camel’s life really looks like
• Linda’s most memorable moments working with camels

This conversation offers a rare glimpse into the world of camels beyond the racetrack, celebrating their intelligence, resilience, and potential for companionship.
