Rossifari Zoo News 5.15.26 - The Swatted Like Flies Edition

Dateline May 15, 2026: Rossifari Zoo News is back featuring another few deep dives into the animal news of the world.  This week I start off with a deep look at the swatting incidents that have been plaguing zoos and aquariums across the United States.  Then we talk about the guy who threw a rock at a monk seal and practically became public enemy number one because of it.  Then we do the latest on the Sloth World situation.  EPISODE LINKS:  @treekangaroosafe to watch the Crunchathon https://animalsanonymousapparel.com/collections/tree-kangaroo-fundraiser [https://animalsanonymousapparel.com/collections/tree-kangaroo-fundraiser]  ROSSIFARI LINKS:  @rossifari on socials  @rossifaripod on TikTok  rossifari.com  Patreon.com/rossifari
