We speak to people whose job it is to kill animals. The law in Taiwan is about to change so that vets can no longer kill animals that are abandoned. It became a big discussion after a vet took her own life there last year.

Also, we reflect conversations about anti-government protests in Romania and about the pregnancy picture posted by BeyoncΓ©. Why has it become the most popular picture ever on Instagram?
