Humane Talk (11-17-2014) #8035: Alan Rabinowitz, one of the world’s leading authorities on big cats, discusses his book AN INDOMITABLE BEAST: The Remarkable Journey of the Tiger and his life’s work devoted to saving wild cat species as CEO of Panthera. He and Tracie share a passionate belief that zoos are nothing more than a condescending view of wildlife and jailing animals is inhumane captivity.
