We cannot talk about rhinos without talking about the incredible people who risk and sometimes give their lives in the name of rhino conservation, especially Anton Mzimba. You can learn more about the documentary he stars in, Rhino Man, here.

We highly encourage you to follow @TheBlackMambas (the world's first all-women anti-poaching initiative) on Instagram and @olpejeta (Ol Pejeta Conservancy) on Instagram to learn more about and stay involved in conservation efforts.

What can you do to support rhinos?

• Don’t support illegal trade - Don’t purchase anything made from rhino horn
• Consider supporting conservation organizations and programs 
• Use and support sustainable wood, paper and palm oil. By purchasing certified sustainable palm oil and FSC-certified forest products, retailers and manufacturers help protect Sumatran and Javan rhino habitat by limiting illegal logging and forest conversion. Consumers can help by demanding certified products
• Spread the word about rhino conservation!

This week on Get Out Alive, we cover a tragic day in October of 2011 that led to the death of over 40 exotic animals in Zanesville, Ohio, that had been kept in terrible conditions. This case led to Ohio changing its laws around exotic animal ownership, and sparked a countrywide debate about owning exotic animals, that was of course later blown up by Netflix's Tiger King in 2020.

If you'd like to know more about how USDA APHIS Animal Care inspects and regulates these facilities, you can check out their Inspection Guide or Animal Welfare Act and Animal Welfare Regulations. You can also file an animal welfare complaint here.

Stay tuned for when we do an extended series on exotic animal ownership and social media.

Julie Helgeson and Michele Koons became the first recorded victims of a fatal grizzly bear attack in Glacier National Park, on the same night, by different bears. Their deaths changed the way that National Parks, especially Glacier, manage their grizzlies. Their deaths could have been avoided if park officials had responded to the reports of the increasing number of negative grizzly encounters, and the continued habituation of the bears. And for years to follow their deaths, the North American grizzly population suffered greatly. Now, in 2022, we know better and must do better.

This week, three pals get together to talk about how dangerous it can be to swim with Bottlenose Dolphins and some people who were seriously injured when swimming with dolphins. And what is a dolphin, anyways? And should we be swimming with them?

If you are visiting the Gulf of California in Mexico, please keep an eye out for Vaquitas and people with Gillnets. If you see someone with a gillnet or a Vaquita entrapped, please call the NOAA Fisheries Enforcement Hotline at (800)-853-1964.

If you are visiting North Padre Island or the surrounding ocean in Texas, keep an eye out for the aggressive male dolphin and find more resources at fisheries.noaa,gov.  If you see someone trying to harass or feed the dolphin, please call 800-853-1964. You can also visit their website here to learn how to safely share the shore with Sea Turtles and other marine life.

If you see an injured or dead sea mammal, please call 877-WHALE-HELP

Can dogs that have been bred to fight in illegal dog fighting be re-integrated back into society? How can you stop an approaching aggressive dog?

If you or someone you know has been struggling after a dog attack, check out the American Psychological Association's website for tips on helping someone who's struggling, or you can find a licensed therapist through Psychology Today.

If you have an aggressive dog, you may want to seek help from a veterinary behaviorist.

In this episode we also discuss a lot of America's history with coyotes, which is not always a pleasant one - like we say in the episode, if you'd like to discuss coyotes with us further, contact us on our socials.  A majority of our source material for our history with coyotes comes from Dan Flores' book Coyote America (which we highly recommend).

Stay tuned next week for the second part to our coyote discussion where we get more into wildlife diseases.
