BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Call, 18/11/2014

Louise White asks listeners if they would donate to a pet food bank.

TOPIC 1: SAME SEX LESSONS
A campaign to ensure all pupils are taught about same-sex marriages at Scottish Schools, has received political backing. Representatives from the Scottish Liberal Democrats and the Scottish Green Party have supported the call from the Humanist Society Scotland. New guidance on sex and relationships education is currently being drawn up by the Scottish Government to reflect changes in society such as the legalisation of same sex marriage - however controversy has been sparked by the provision for schools to opt -out.

Louise asks: Should teachers be allowed to opt out of teaching about same sex marriage?


TOPIC 2: PET FOOD BANKS
The latest pet food bank in Scotland was set up last week to help poor pet owners feed their starving pets (Becky's Pet Food Bank). More than 60 volunteers have already offered to collect food donations for owners struggling to feed their pet cats and dogs. Food drop-off sites have already been secured in Edinburgh, Fife and Perthshire.

Louise asks: Would you donate to a pet food bank?

Extra Question:
