Rossifari Zoo News 6.27.25 - SPECIAL EDITION: When Bullying Goes Too Far
Dateline: June 27, 2025. This episode starts off like any other, but then as I dive into my headline story it goes off the rails. I talk about the loss the animal world experienced this week as we said goodbye to Mikayla Raines of Save A Fox Rescue. This leads to a discussion of bullying, mental health, the supposed anonymity of the internet, and how we can support our animal caregivers. ROSSIFARI LINKS: @rossifari on the socials @rossifaripod on TikTok Rossifari.comPatreon.com/rossifari to support the podÂ
