About this listen

Gusto discusses his obsession with stories of animals escaping captivity, as well as his experience of bizarre animal encounters on the treacherous canal tow-paths of the Midlands. This evolves into a broader discussion of how stories of animal escapes in the mainstream media commonly serve to perpetuate damaging stereotypes about predatory species whilst also reinforcing our cognitive dissonance towards the suffering of domestic ones. Expect stories about crocodilian convicts, semi-aquatic Slavic sows and two-week old calves being stuffed onto Aer Lingus flights.
