Can zoos and aquariums meet the needs of the animals they hold captive? Are dogs and cats gateway animals to exotic species collecting? How has captivity evolved in the age of social media and the internet? What laws do we have to protect animals in captivity?

On this episode of Animocracy, I speak with biologist, author, and advocate Rob Laidlaw, of Zoocheck, who has been fighting animal captivity, and more, for over 45 years. 

Thank you for listening.
