Read the transcription of the program:
Update Soundscapes. Our first emission, we think, from Brazil. Valter Aguiar is in Lavras, that’s in the state of Minas Gerais, and Valter has been in a shelter with hundreds of street dogs in this town.
He says the dogs were sick, hungry, abandoned, mistreated and now they have a better life as they wait for adoption. He says the shelter, ironically, is located in a former slaughterhouse. This is a place that used to kill animals and now it is being used to take care of them.
Hundreds – I could believe it, couldn’t you? – hundreds of street dogs in Lavras, in Brazil, in Minas Gerais. That’s fantastic. Update Soundscapes, send us yours.
Join us with more World Update tomorrow.
