SeaWorld Orca Tragedy

In the latest podcast episode, Scott and I discussed the SeaWorld Orca Tragedy, and how communicating with Wildlife (and all animals) is so critically important.  The traumatic incident that cost the trainer her life and that has left Tilikum, the whale’s life in jeopardy has made us reevaluate our treatment and consideration of these amazing and wonderful giants of the sea, as well as other wild animals held captive in other types of theme parks.  We also discussed the case of Ginny, the zoo elephant who killed her trainer that I got to work with personally and what she said about why she did it.  We talked about sharks and Scott’s experience with Flake and Chips in Australia.  And we talked about the role of animal ambassadors and volunteers from the animal kingdom who have the job of touching our hearts and challenging our beliefs and notions about who animals really are.  Listen and then give us your feedback, ok?  What do you think?
