Quick & Dirty Ep: 5

*WARNING* To our animal care friends - we talk recent Audubon Zoo events and Harambe. We were asked from a non-zoo industry listener about our thoughts. Here's a hint - we get really angry - and it's not directed at the zoos. We talk insensitivity, how much people suck, and why the annual purge maybe isn't so bad. We also ask a listener's Would You Rather, and give a few shout-outs to some rad fans.

17: Quokka

You asked for it, you got it. But tbh I didn't have much to choose from. Quokka the "happiest animal on earth" if you anthropomorphize animals by their face. Or just a big rat if you don't do that.
