In last week's episode I was joined by professional zoo keeper, Mason Kleist and we discussed animal husbandry from a zoo keeper's perspective. However, a few days after our discussion, there was an incident at the El Paso zoo involving a woman who unlawfully entered a primate exhibit. The story made international news, she was subsequently arrested after her video went viral, and she is now facing charges. In this Bonus Episode, Mason joins us again to discuss the event as well as the ramifications and consequences associated with the woman's irresponsible actions.-Note- Although this is an amphibian focused show, there is no discussion of amphibians in this episode. However, I hope you will find this episode interesting.
