Beauty and the Beast [Episode 151]

This week our topics are connected in so many ways. First we get into neoteny and the warm fuzzies we get for baby-like features in animals (think cocker spaniel). Did you know Mickey Mouse used to look very different? Did you know dog breeds used to look very different? Then we go beyond shock-value to discuss Beastiality, a legal offense, and its medical counterpart, zoophilia and all the implications thereof. We focus on the Enumclaw horse sex case of 2005. 

If you feel upset, like us, about the recent reversal of constitutional protections for abortion and what it could mean for future reversals which will impact contraception and gay rights, we feel it is important to take our upset feelings and do something that will make a difference. We also feel it is more important than ever to take care of ourselves which for us means media breaks, doing things we love, connecting with those we care about, and of course finding ways to laugh.
