Today, we will be heading to New York to learn about an incredible animal sanctuary called Woodstock Farm Sanctuary. I learned about them through a friend who had long admired their efforts of giving farm animals a life of their own. When I saw a video of 4 happy goats frolicking at their farm, I knew there was something special there and I had to interview them. Lizz, the Marketing and Communications Director of Woodstock Farm Sanctuary, kindly agreed.   Woodstock Farm Sanctuary  Website: https://woodstocksanctuary.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/woodstocksanctuary/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WoodstockFarm Twitter: https://twitter.com/WoodstockFarm TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@woodstocksanctuary   VSF Webpage: www.thevoicelessspeakforever.com Crochet: https://www.etsy.com/shop/VsfOfficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.vsf.official/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2177580612484508 Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/vsf.official.podcast Petition: http://chng.it/KDHXYpY4 Email: vsf.official.podcast@gmail.com

After the release of "1Bitch9Pups" and the adjunct episode about Lucas Russell Vanwoert, I received a message from someone who was an expert in zoosadism and wanted to share her knowledge with us.

And so, this episode is Naia Okami's Advocacy Tale.    Naia Ōkami  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/naiagoesawoo/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D   VSF Webpage: www.thevoicelessspeakforever.com Crochet: https://www.etsy.com/shop/VsfOfficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.vsf.official/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2177580612484508 Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/vsf.official.podcast Petition: http://chng.it/KDHXYpY4 Email: vsf.official.podcast@gmail.com

Please listen to the previous episode, "1Bitch9Pups," before listening to this one because this episode is an extension of it.  After seizing the Australian serial animal killer and sexual assaulters digital devices, the police discovered that an American man, Lucas Russell Vanwoert, was also a part of the creation and distribution of animal crush videos. Listen to find out more.  *There is some conflict on when Lucas was arrested. Some sources say September 27, while others say October 6.

For months, two tenants smelled a horrible odor in their new home. No matter what they did, nothing could exorcise it. It wasn't until they were in the upstairs hallway that they discovered the smell's origin.  Today's episode is Season 3's Finale. Season 4 will, hopefully, start in the fall or winter. Until then, make sure you catch up on any eps you might have missed, relisten to all of them, and/or tell others about the podcast.  Sources: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9] ----more---- VSF ----more---- Webpage: www.thevoicelessspeakforever.com ----more---- Crochet: https://www.thevoicelessspeakforever.com/shop ----more---- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.vsf.official/ ----more---- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2177580612484508 ----more---- Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/vsf.official.podcast ----more---- Petition: http://chng.it/KDHXYpY4 ----more---- Email: vsf.official.podcast@gmail.com
