On the podcast today we tackle a sensitive subject: wildlife poaching. We don’t go into detail, but it may be a subject for you or your kids. If it is a sensitive topic, please feel free to skip this episode.
Our guest today is Janine Vaccarello of Alcatraz East, a crime museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, where they’ve been working on a new exhibit called ‘Ivory, Tortoise Shell & Fur: The Ugly Truth Of Wildlife Trafficking.’
You might wonder why, if you’re not a hunter, you should be concerned about wildlife poaching. But, as Janine explains, there are reasons to be concerned, especially if you travel and buy souvenirs. Do you know what you’re buying or where it came from?
Janine talks us about her time in South Africa, Cecil the lion, dangers of poaching, and what they’re hoping to accomplish with the new museum exhibit.
