"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

Im Januar 1980 wird im Frankfurter Ostend der Exil-Kroate Nikola Milićević - genannt Beban - mit sechs Schüssen regelrecht hingerichtet. Schon sehr bald sind die Ermittler überzeugt: Hinter dem Mord steckt der jugoslawische Geheimdienst. Es ist nämlich nicht der erste Anschlag dieser Art in Deutschland. Tatsächlich tobt zu diesem Zeitpunkt schon seit Jahren ein verdeckter Krieg zwischen kroatischen Terroristen und jugoslawischen Sicherheitsbehörden - der auch auf deutschem Boden ausgetragen wird. Doch warum musste Nikola Milićević, ein fünffacher Familienvater sterben? Dieser Podcast begibt sich auf Spurensuche.…
