#ANIMALSINTHERAPY
Please, come on in. Take a seat, yep, just there is fantastic. Now, how often do you think 'If they don't turn that light off I'm going to be eaten by a falcon' or 'That drilling sound will literally drive me to my death'? You're not the only one – Animals in Therapy is back. This time we're beyond bugbears, past pet peeves, and we're heading to injustice-ville. Strap in for some serious home truths. Humans, we got work to do.
There's a superstar whale who's had enough of our deep-sea antics, a seriously desperate tree frog on the croak of extinction, and a bunch of night-dwellers straddling the edge of existence with one very clear, very simple request.
Why exactly are there some very confused and slightly frustrated species out there? HINT: humans don't come off that well.
This year we're spicing things up. We've introduced interviews for the first time in Animals in Therapy history. Our favourite species have been grilling some famous names on whether humans feel emotions like they do. Think we might show or cope with them slightly differently...

These slippery sea-dwellers want to give Patricia Allison some schooling on their relationship with pain. Can she educate them about our feelings, too, or will she take the bait?
FEATURING HUMANS
Big, googly eyes, chubby cheeks, and button noses – our babies are cute, right? Unless you're a condor. They can't seem to wrap their beaks around our love of human little ones! AmyBeth Mcnulty is on the case.
FEATURING HUMANS
Sometimes, a wave of the sads can put us in our shell… but these turtles aren't buying it. Jaz Sinclair has some unorthodox ways to show them humans can be doom and gloom, too.
One thing you never knew about animals: they can sing! And they're using this ancient superpower to challenge all of y'all's thoughts and perceptions about their private lives.
A few 'pets' have taken over the studio with synthesisers, autotune, and an ick they need to get off their chests... listen up!
