Don’t be a Douchebag Handbook
We have a lot to catch up on! Shoutout to Lost Again with Jim (check him out on YouTube and Instagram), reminding us to review the 7 Principles of Leave No Trace. After some additional news, Jen gives us some more info on that adorable angry avocado frog from our Instagram feed. Then Megan continues with depressing stories and gets into the shit that's happened to "animal actors" over the years in the film and TV industry.
Organization to Support: The National Humane Education Society
