The pit bull who changed animal cruelty laws
From The Animal Nerd Podcast · 15:11
Show by The Little Rescue Zoo
In 2020, animal lovers across Brazil were horrified by the story of Sansao, a pit bull who was violently attacked by humans who cut off his hind legs with a sickle. But instead of giving in to despair, people instead turned their heartbreak into action, ultimately forcing their reluctant government to introduce new laws to protect animals from harm, and to secure justice for Sansao.It's an inspiring story for sure. But what became of the poor dog in the centre of all this? You'll just have to listen to find out!Original air date: 31st July 2025Important note: Unfortunately I wasn't able to import my show when I was switching hosting platforms, and as a result I'm having to re-upload my podcast from the start. Because of that, these early episodes are not indictive of the show's current quality - both in terms of the equipment used and my own skills as a writer & presenter - so apologies for that! Hopefully before too long I'll have caught up to my current output.
