ADOW's TV Show
On Dec. 22, 2004 Animal Defenders of Westchester began airing our own,
ADOW-produced, public access cable TV show, entitled PET PEEVES. This is the
first time there has ever been an animal protection TV show in this area.
These programs contain a lot of information and films the public will never
see otherwise, presented in a friendly and welcoming forum. *SCHEDULE* YONKERS: YORKTOWN HEIGHTS: NEW ROCHELLE/PELHAM: MANHATTAN: PEEKSKILL: WHITE PLAINS: We are happy to announce the addition of several new venues that will be
showing our PATV show 'Pet Peeves' in conjunction with GO TV, which serves
areas that don't get cablevision. The show will appear on Tuesdays at 11:00 pm, on channels 18 and 78 (check
local listings) in the following areas: - Ossining (check local listings) TOPICS WE'VE AIRED:
"FROM LIBERATOR TO EDUCATOR" A film about dynamic, inspiring ADAPTT
founder Gary Yurofsky, who has been jailed for releasing animals from fur
farms and now conducts persuasive lectures about various animal protection
topics. From the film: "If you put an apple and a rabbit into a crib with a
baby, the baby will eat the apple and play with the rabbit; if we were true
carnivores, the baby would eat the rabbit and play with the apple."
"PIG FARMS/LABS" Featuring ADOW member Yliana Roberts. We air INSIDE A
NORTH CAROLINA PIG FARM, showing footage that enabled PETA in bringing
animal cruelty charges against pig farm employees in two different states;
(Note: a recent phone-caller expressed her hope that the men beating the
pigs 'go to jail for a long, long time.') and INSIDE BIOSEARCH, a
ground-breaking undercover video showing the unparalleled horrors of animal
experimentation. An undercover investigator spent months documenting
violations at the Biosearch testing laboratory in Philadelphia. The
investigation showed how some companies actually kill animals to protect
themselves from consumer lawsuits. "THE AWARD-WINNING FILM 'THE WITNESS'" with guests Eddie Lama (the
subject of the film), Louis Gedo (Director of outreach, FAUNAVISION), Lynn
Wagner (Recording Secretary, Showing Animals Respect and Kindness (SHARK)),
and 'Little Man,' a blind beagle (who was just adopted!). This is a
two-part segment; Eddie discussed what led him to equip a van with a video
screen and drive through the streets airing films about fur production and
other atrocities, in addition to establishing the Oasis Sanctuary in North
Branch; Lynn Wagner talks about SHARK's involvement with the video-van
concept; and Lou Gedo describes his experience with animal advocacy and the
Sanctuary. See: Photos from Our TV
