    Good Work, Keep It Up!
    Hi, just wanted to say thanks for the good material—I haven’t listened to all the episodes yet, but I have listened to a lot of them, and I have found them to be very informative and interesting. I have especially enjoyed the Rwanda episodes, the episodes relating to the many challenges that animal activists put forward, and your recent episode on bullying in the workplace. Thanks for the podcast, Grey, and just keep doing what you’re doing!
  • Olivia in AZ
    Fantastic
    Grey is a fantastic interviewer and human- so many of these conversations extend beyond the animal community to be of great value to any listener. SO moved by episode 300- wishing Forrest and his family all the best. Thanks for sharing your inspiring story.
  • Floutdoorgal
    Incredibly informative
    I run a horse rescue and so much of this is applicable. Appreciate all the hard work that goes into making this..
  • divebookreader

    If you are interested in thoughtful insight into the animal kingdom and human’s responsibilities for animals don’t miss any episodes of Zoo Logic. Tuning into any episode will be an interesting, entertaining, and worthwhile use of your time. The format lets you listen in while you are in the car, doing dishes, or any other time that suits you. Thanks, Grey, for putting these podcasts together!
  • Larryfrc
    Thank You
    Dr. Grey... Thank you for bringing such a vital topic to the ears of so many. The scope of knoweldge from your guests is a veritable cornucopia of wisdom. Keep up the great work !!

    Why I love this podcast
    I love this podcast!!! Zoo professionals are the biggest wildlife warriors I know. But they’re often so focused on doing great work to help animals that they rarely talk about it. This podcast gives the world an opportunity to learn about what it’s really like to be an advocate for animals, animal conservation and animal welfare from zoological professionals, trainers, behavior specialists, scientists and field biologists.....who many times are one in the same. You get the facts, the science, the data, and the insider information from the people with the boots on the ground.

    unprofessional
    Wa shoping for a balanced look at zoos but appears the goal of this podcast is to deny any problems with zoos and name call anyone who disagrees
  • Paul Horton CBS 5

    This guy knows his stuff... We are big fans of zoos - and love hearing the latest news! Thanks Dr. Grey.
