The Animal Chat Podcast

25/01/2021

For those of you that listened to our podcast with Sea Shepherd founder, Paul Watson, who listened to our other orca related podcasts with Lori Marina and Charles Vinick, or who just love orcas and were inspired by films like Free W***y and Blackfish, you might be interested to read this fascinating and heartbreaking new book by Paul Watson and Tiffany Humphrey.

Orcapedia tells the story of every single one of the 162 orcas who have died in captivity since the first orca (Wanda) was caught in the wild in 1961, to the 56 orcas who are still held captive today in marine parks around the world.

It is a sobering and powerful book that will hopefully, one day, serve only as a reminder of how we once exploited these beautiful and intelligent animals.

All proceeds go to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Visit seashepherd.org for more information -

Listen here: https://www.podbean.com/eu/pb-iqbmm-dab874

In 2006, while Sam Green was visiting Sri Lanka, she came across a street dog that seemed minutes away from death. She wasn't able to walk away from the dog (who she later named, Mango) and instead, got to work contacting vets and animal experts and paying for the dog to receive the medical attention it needed.

That was the birth of what would become Dogstar Foundation. An organisation that, in the following 14 years, has become one of the most innovative, impactful and expertly run dog population management projects in the world today.

Sam and Mark chat to us about the traumatic events that took Sam to Sri Lanka in the first place, their desire to want to do more to help the dogs they saw suffering, how that led to them building an organisation, and some of the lessons they learned along the way.
