  4. Zoos Unveiled: Legalized Exploitation of Wildlife with Devan Schowe

    Zoos Unveiled: Legalized Exploitation of Wildlife with Devan Schowe

    In this episode of the Rising Lioness podcast, host Erica Salvemini and guest Devan Schowe discuss the truth behind the zoo industry. They shed light on the exploitation and mistreatment of wild animals in captivity, as well as the recent partnership between the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. The podcast highlights the need for better regulations and resources to rehabilitate animals rescued from the illegal wildlife trade. The podcast starts by addressing the fact that 23% of species in zoos are threatened with extinction, indicating that the majority (77%) are not. Despite this, zoos continue to keep and breed animals. The partnership between the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums aims to provide homes for animals rescued from the illegal wildlife trade. However, critics argue that it prioritizes profits over animal welfare. Animals seized or abandoned during the illegal wildlife trade often suffer from poor conditions during transportation, including dehydration, stress, hunger, and sickness. Immediate expert care is crucial for their survival. The podcast argues that instead of funneling resources into zoos, efforts should be focused on rehabilitating and rewilding these animals. Zoos profit from the entertainment of animals, perpetuating the idea that exploiting them for profit is acceptable. The illegal wildlife trade is a multi-billion dollar industry, making it the fourth-largest global illegal trade. Social media platforms like TikTok and Facebook play a significant role in facilitating the trade. The podcast emphasizes the need for awareness and action to combat the exploitation of wildlife. It calls on individuals to educate themselves and others, especially children, about the issue. It also highlights the importance of supporting organizations that prioritize animal welfare and conservation.

    Oceans Away From Home with Devan Schowe

    Devan Schowe, a campaign's associate for Born Free USA delves into the "Oceans Away from Home" report, which highlights the suffering of fish in captivity. Fish often face challenges that parallel those of larger, more commonly studied captive animals. This report emphasizes the challenges these aquatic creatures encounter, including compromised welfare and limited opportunities for species-specific behaviors. A research bias further sidelines fish, underscoring the need to value all animals, irrespective of their similarities or differences from humans. Additionally, the rising surge of octopus farming in Spain, raises ethical concerns due to the remarkable intelligence of these creatures. Octopus farming subjects highly intelligent and solitary beings to stressful and unnatural conditions, posing ethical and ecological dilemmas. This industry's potential consequences for octopus populations, marine ecosystems, and animal welfare are of great concern, especially given the absence of protective regulations within the European Union. Furthermore, our discussion uncovers "The Lies Zoos Tell," highlighting the lack of care for animals in some of these facilities. Even accredited zoos, striving to replicate natural habitats, often fall short in providing essential elements for animal well-being. This prompts a critical question: Is keeping animals captive in zoos justifiable? The resounding answer is "NO." Join us in this conversation, challenging our perspectives on animal treatment and advocating for a more compassionate approach to their well-being.

    Wildlands Network with Ron Sutherland

    Wild for Change with Nicole Rojas Wildlands Network's Chief Scientist, Ron Sutherland, discusses the importance of rewilding efforts and their vision of continental wildways to promote wildlife conservation in North America. Rewilding, a concept rooted in letting nature reclaim its territory, emphasizes the need to reintroduce keystone species to restore ecological balance. Ron explains how rewilding helps to manage ecosystems more efficiently and highlights the case of Yellowstone's wolf reintroduction, which led to a cascade of positive ecological effects. The concept of continental wildways involves creating extensive wildlife corridors to connect natural areas, enhancing biodiversity and promoting species migration, especially in the face of climate change. Ron Sutherland emphasizes the importance of partnerships with land trusts and conservation organizations to establish these corridors and protect critical habitats. He cites specific examples like the Eastern Wildway, Rocky Mountain Wildway, and Pacific Wildway, each tailored to the unique needs of the region and its wildlife. The wildway approach is not only beneficial for wildlife but also aids in climate change adaptation by facilitating species' movement northward as temperatures rise. Wildlands Network collaborates with various organizations to implement these corridors and make progress on the ground, marking significant strides in conservation efforts. You can learn more about Wildlands Network and support their work online at: https://wildlandsnetwork.org/ About Nicole In a journey fueled by a profound love for animals and nature, a former physical therapist from Chicago has transformed her life into a dedicated mission to protect endangered species.
