Episode Synopsis

If you're thinking, hmm, I've never heard the word philzoothropy before, you're right! It's a totally new word.  Philzoothropy is a love of animals, especially as shown by contributing time, money, influence etc to their general welfare. It's a new take on an existing word (philanthropy) and makes us think about how we can spend money in more intelligent ways, that helps both animals and humans.  Sound clip taken from: MATTHIEU RICARD - A Plea for Animals, the Planet & Human Beings (english).
