Our guest today is Dr. Naomi Rose, who is an expert in orcas for the past 20+ years. Naomi and I discuss the impact of the movie Blackfish and particularly the events that unfolded after the death of Dawn Brancheau, lead trainor of Tilicum the orca. Tilicum was resposible for her death. We discuss the science behind why orcas are not suitable for captivity to disprove and false reports that say otherwise. You DO NOT want to miss this episode!
