We said we would always be open and honest, we interviewed this.. thought about it and didn't want to release it. But what's the point? Before we get the negative comments, take the time to listen to this week's episode. We are no means taking sides in this debate but no the less it's interesting! There's alot of contaversial debate surrounded this week's guest as we sit down and talk about keeping tigers and lions amongst other exotics in captivity. With all the hype around Tiger King we thought this might be of interest and wanted to talk to someone in a similar kind of work. We bring you, the good, the bad and the ugly. The dangers, the antis, ups, downs, history and more! Please try and keep open mind :) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/reptilenchill/message
