Episode 1: What are we doing here?

Let’s face it: the zoo field is broken. Staff are burned out, facilities are underfunded, and animal welfare is not always prioritized. To remain in the industry, zookeepers must become secret keepers. Guerrilla Welfare brings critical discourse on the zoo / sanctuary industry into the open. Hosts Rachel Hale and Amanda Kelley bring their experiences from zoos and sanctuaries, advocacy, and academia to delve into the questions we usually keep behind closed doors. In Episode 1, Rachel Hale and Amanda Kelley explain why they left the industry and how we start to make it better, together.
