Oh, Godess Charlie, what are you doing? Oh, hi Kathy, I'm just looking for a treat for my tortoise. He's been having a bit of a rough time.

Your tortoise? You kept that quiet.

Oh, yeah, we've had Jeffrey in the family for years. He's seen it all. Climate change, the birth of the internet, Jerry leaving the Spice Girls.

Oh, that was a dark day. So what's up with him at the moment then? I don't really know to be honest,

but I can just sense from his mood he's feeling a bit down.

Well animals have feelings and emotions too.

Many of them can feel joy, sadness, fear and more.

They deserve to have a fulfilled life of their own.

Absolutely and we all have a role to play to improve animals lives because a world that's better for Jeffrey is better for everyone.

Hear, hear goddess!

And as amazing as the RSPCA are, they can't do it alone. They need every one of you dear

listeners to join them and take action for animals. Whether it's donating, volunteering your time,
