Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Dog bites by pit bulls make the headlines. But few are aware that the Washington Humane Society picks up some forty abused, neglected, or mistreated pit bulls around the city every week. They’re now supporting a City Council proposal to impose a breed-specific ban against ownership and breeding in the District, which infuriates some dog lovers and pit bull advocates.
Guests
- Mary Healy Executive Director, Washington Humane Society
- Victor Chudowski DC Dog Coalition
- Dr. Randall Lockwood Vice President for Research and Educational Outreach, The Humane Society of the United States
