Rossifari Podcast – Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

The Rossifari Podcast brings my love of zoos, aquariums, rescues, and rehab facilities to you! Each episode features an interview with someone who works at one of these facilities. We talk about different species, individual animals, conservation efforts, nutrition…all kinds of stuff. This is a podcast suitable for all ages, but we will discuss topics like mating behaviors and euthanasia. If you’re a fan of zoos, or have ever wondered what exactly a zookeeper does, how aquariums manage to keep all that water so clean, or just want to hear a bunch of amazing stories about incredible animals, and the people that take care of them, this is the podcast for you! Check us out online at www.rossifari.com and on all social media platforms @rossifari. Support the show at patreon.com/rossifari. Check out the merch at rossifari.redbubble.com.

Rossifari Zoo News Special Edition: #truth4toki Apr 08, 2023

Show notes

Dateline April 8, 2023: Today, we sit down with Shanna Simpson, a current keeper at the Topeka Zoo who was the lead trainer of Lolita, also known as Toki, an orca who lives at Miami Seaquarium, where they have just announced their plans to release her into a sea pen and then eventually set her free. I have spent a lot of time researching this subject, and I am absolutely opposed to it. Shanna and I will walk you through the science behind why this move would be a death sentence for Toki, discuss former attempts at similar things, share on- and off-record conversations we have had with experts, and also discuss the unique things about Toki that make her an unbelievably bad candidate for release. We end with suggestions on who you can follow to find out how you can help!
