011 - You Paid for This: The Dark Truth About Wildlife Tourism with Aaron Gekoski
In this episode, I am speaking ing with Aaron Gekoski, an award-winning photojournalist who has spent decades investigating the global wildlife tourism industry all over the world. From captive animal attractions to staged “sanctuaries,” Aaron shares firsthand experiences documenting how animals are captured, controlled, and used for profit in some of the most sinister ways, often under the guise of education or conservation. We discuss the ethical cost of wildlife entertainment, the realities tourists rarely see, and how good intentions can still cause serious harm. There are some tough topics in here ranging from loss of human life to leopards, death of animals from poaching, as well as human trafficking, all linked to the darker side of this industry. This is an essential conversation about responsibility, transparency, and the real impact of wildlife tourism, but viewer discretion is advised.
