  • Conservation Queens take on the Tiger King

    You asked and you shall receive. When we started this podcast Tiger King was definitely on everyone's minds as we were stuck inside watching a lot of Netflix, but now with Carol Baskin receiving more spotlight for being on Dancing with the Stars we thought it was time we discussed it. We talked a lot about how zoos came to be, their purpose, the difference between good zoos and bad zoos, and different kinds of accreditation on our previous episodes Let's Talk About Zoos Part 1 and 2. If you haven't listened to those episodes we highly recommend it before listening to this one. Specifically, on this episode, we talk more about the concerning things you see in the series itself and the issues surrounding it. Listen up all you cool cats and kittens because the only cool cats and kittens involved in that show are the actual tigers themselves.

We also spend some time discussing the Holocene extinction, which is ongoing thanks to human activity, and how our little everyday actions can make a big difference for critically endangered animals!
