CW: Explicit language, talk of animal abuse
This episode Josie is joined by Sarah, the host of It Came From The Sea to discuss how ethical aquariums are. Sarah goes away to learn more about large-scale, corporate aquariums while Josie focuses on home aquariums. Should betta fish really live in plastic cups? What's wrong with having whale sharks in tanks anyway?
