The Wildest Animal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The wildest animal in any zoo or aquarium is not necessarily a big cat or a bear or a shark! Today we discuss the wildest entity of them all, how we deal with them, and why it's a necessity that we keep them around. We spend a lot of time and resources planning for whatever they might do, and even then, we're still surprised! www.patreon.com/aquatizoo l.semple@magicalvacationplanner.com www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple
Interactions Gone Wrong (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most of us have had interactions with others that didn't quite go as intended. It can take a fair amount of practice and time to think back on those instances and identify exactly what went wrong. If you consider it carefully, however, there may be a chance to salvage that relationship and make it stronger than ever. www.patreon.com/aquatizoo l.semple@magicalvacationplanner.com www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple
Animal Welfare Concern Reporting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Animal welfare is a concern for all, whether you're employed by an animal care institution or not. If you see something questionable in your visit to or work in an aquarium or zoo, there are ways to bring it to the staff's attention and they are obligated to investigate. We take these reports seriously, and we, too want to be sure the animals have the best welfare! www.patreon.com/aquatizoo l.semple@magicalvacationplanner.com www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple
Gatekeeping Information (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It may be intentional, or it may not be. Regardless of the reasoning, dealing with someone who is hoarding information or gatekeeping in the workplace can be very frustrating. Today we discuss the challenges and opportunities involved with gatekeeping. Yay? www.patreon.com/aquatizoo l.semple@magicalvacationplanner.com www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple
Ethics of Zoos and Aquariums (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The question we hear most often is whether animals should be in human care. Is it ethical? Are there circumstances where it is or is not? Today we wade into the thorny topic of how and why zoos and aquariums exist, as well as how they've changed over time. Is it enough that we've learned a lot and continue to perfect our techniques in the hopes that we're making a difference for animals in their natural habitat? Let's talk it out. www.patreon.com/aquatizoo l.semple@magicalvacationplanner.com www
