In Taiwanese culture, caring for animals is an all-hands-on-deck effort. In this episode, Connie Chiang, co-founder of the SPCA in Taiwan, discusses the challenges and successes of animal welfare in Taiwan with Tristan.
While the SPCA responds to cases where people are responsible, other individuals and organizations must respond to cases dealing with stray animals, like "Ài-mā." “Ài-mā," which means "loving mother" in Mandarin, is the term used to describe people who have taken on the role of helping stray animals in their communities.
