| 0:00.0 | Tranquility DeJure, July 11th, 2016. |
| 0:09.6 | Bonjour, this is Kimberly Wilson, and welcome to the 374th edition of Tranquility |
| 0:17.7 | DeGure. |
| 0:19.1 | Today's show is with the lovely and darling. |
| 0:21.9 | He's so sweet, Cameron Osteen, about animals as individuals. |
| 0:27.6 | So we talk life on the road in his RV going cross-country, ways he shares animals' stories. |
| 0:36.8 | By the way, he's an amazing photographer. Why pigs roll in the mud, |
| 0:41.7 | in case you're curious, it's not because they're dirty. There's a reason. Compassion fatigue, and |
| 0:48.6 | more. So I met Cameron, and we'll talk about this in the interview some, but I met him at an |
| 0:55.5 | animal rights conference last summer, and I was just immediately drawn to him. |
| 0:59.5 | I thought he was absolutely darling and doing something very, very beautiful. |
| 1:04.6 | And I actually have an image that I bought from him that day of this beautiful pig, and I'll have a photo of it in the |
| 1:12.8 | show notes, and it's prominently displayed on one of my bookshelves next to a little pink pig |
| 1:18.3 | watering can. So he's just an absolute doll. And then I've run into him at various things |
| 1:24.8 | kind of spontaneously over the past year at Thanksgiving for the |
| 1:29.0 | Turkey's event at Poplar Springs and then also at Farm Sanctuary's Hodeown where he was again |
| 1:34.6 | wearing his darling cowboy hat. |
| 1:36.4 | So I think you'll really enjoy this interview. |
| 1:39.1 | He's such a doll. |
| 1:40.3 | And I want to say a big thank you to too, to everyone who joined on Saturday for our virtual |
| 1:45.9 | retreat. |
| 1:47.1 | Loved being with you. |
