Ending Greyhound Racing, with Christine Dorchak and Carey Theil
Welcome back to Lantern Voices! Today, our topic is the fight to protect dogs!
Greyhound racing used to be a thriving industry in the United States, that until Grey2KUSA came around. Now, there is only one state left where it is still alowed. If it depends on our two guests, this will soon be a banned practice all over the world.
Carey Theil and Christine Dorchack are the authors of Brooklyn Goes Home, one of the most awarded books here at Lantern. They are also the founders of GREY2KUSA Worldwide, an organization devoted to the end of greyhound racing practices all over the world.
Let's dive into their story and the story of Brooklyn, a greyhound that moved the world and helped close one of the worst canidromes in history.

What does geography has to do with the way we see gender?, with Bill Hatcher
Throughout human and non-human history, animal societies with more access to food, water, and better living conditions tended toward matriarchies. On the other side, patriarchal societies were located in regions with harsh conditions, such as deserts and poles.
Bill Hatcher, a professor of Geography and Anthropology in Colorado and author of the book The Red Planet, explains his Gendered Landscapes Theory. Join us in this Lantern Voices episode to discuss geography, anthropology, gender, and archetypes.
