With well over 90% of Americans being urbanites, it should not be surprising that there is more misinformation than ever about agriculture, livestock, farmers and ranchers. Mainstream media and social media influencers continue to jump on this bandwagon of insisting that animal protein and dairy is bad for us, that cows are bad for the planet, and farmers are out for profit over health and safety. Karen Gerfen Glueck, Vice President, Communications & Strategic Planning for AGPROfessionals, provides a peak into the world of agriculture, addressing fact vs fiction. She highlights how the organization she works for seeks solutions and common ground. Tune in as... #thereismoretothestory

Lolita aka Toki is living at the Miami Seaquarium. She is in her mid to late fifties, and there are plans to take her from the home and surroundings she’s known for over 50 years and set her ‘free’. The experts say the odds are not in her favor. In episode 16 we talked to Marine Mammal expert Mark Simmons who was part of the team with Keiko the killer whale who was ‘set free’ to disastrous results. In this episode the discussion continues with Marine Mammal trainer Heather Keenan who spent 18 years with Toki; the equivalent of raising a child. She shares some amazing perspective and personal experiences in this conversation you won’t want to miss

The post Animal Tales EPISODE 17: Lolita, The Killer Whale Saga, Continued appeared first on Radio Influence.
In the 1990’s there was a movie, Free Willy about a killer whale that returned to the wild. Subsequently, there was an attempt to free a real whale, Keiko, the whale from the movie, and it ended with disastrous results. Mark Simmons, who was the lead trainer and behaviorist on the project resigned, and then authored the book, Killing Keiko. In the past couple weeks, there is news of another killer whale slated to be ‘returned to the wild’ by animal rights ideologues. In contrast, the true experts – trainers, vets, and behaviorists are not in agreement with this plan to release a whale who has been in human care for over 50 years. Listen in to a fascinating and important conversation about putting the animal’s care and welfare first. Check out the links below to the expert community speaking up for Lolita aka ‘Toki’.

Animal euthanasia is a complicated topic and evokes strong emotions. As one of the goals of the podcast for hosts Heidi and Tommy is to take a deep dive into difficult and controversial topics regarding dogs, they decided this uncomfortable topic is certainly worthy of discussion. While many groups online are devoted to ‘no kill’ shelters and are firm in their positions, we were disappointed that no one was willing to come on as a guest to discuss their thoughts on the topic. This is discouraging as there needs to be more discussion and transparency surrounding euthanasia. The hosts discuss the scenarios for euthanasia including sick or aggressive animals, as well as overcrowding, and ponder the question... why are we not working together toward solutions? Dealing in facts, stats, and data and setting emotion aside would provide for a much healthier and transparent discussion, and the greater possibility of solutions
Other topics covered:
- The ‘adopt don’t shop’ movement hypocrisy
- Importing/rescuing stray dogs from Puerto Rico and beyond
- Governor Noem statement about killing a dog
- AKC Canine Good Citizen Training program
- American Veterinary Medical Assoc (AVMA) positions on euthanasia

Doggone Good Information EPISODE 31: The ‘Positive Reinforcement/Force Free’ Dog Training Myth
Animal Tales
10/12/24 • 68 min
Hosts Heidi and Tommy are joined by a guest from Down Under, Gary ‘Gaz’ Jackson, who is a world renowned dog trainer and author. Gaz does not mince words about his distaste for the so-called ‘trainers’ who claim to use positive reinforcement only and/or call themselves ‘force free’. There is in fact no scientific training method that employs only positive reinforcement. Gaz and the hosts discuss the 4 quadrants of Operant Conditioning (OP), which is the most universally known and recognized balanced training method (employed by humans as well!). Positive reinforcement is only one of the four quadrants of OP. Links below provide details regarding this legitimate, scientific training method. Gaz has also written books to assist dog owners with the training and behavior of their dogs. Tune in to hear that there is a lot more to the story about successful dog training, and how not to waste your money on a lot of hyperbole that will not likely get your dog trained!
