THE PETA PODCAST

Thinking SeaWorld has gotten better? Remember "Blackfish." We reprise the first of a two-part conversation with SeaWorld whistle blower John Hargrove. He was featured in the documentary, "Blackfish," and  told his story in his New York Times best seller "Beneath the Surface,." In this conversation with host Emil Guillermo, Hargrove reflects on how he became the moral voice for orcas in captivity.  When you're done, you'll want to listen to part two here.
