    Camille Labchuk on Animal Rights and Wrongs
    2026/05/15
    Sometimes animals who hang out with humans need a vet. Sometimes they need a lawyer. The belugas at Marineland in Niagara Falls need both. Whales around the world need sanctuary. And sharks everywhere were saved by a Canadian law. Camille Labchuk, executive director of Animal Justice, returns to Skaana to talk with host Mark Leiren-Young about fighting for animals who live in the water and on the land.

    2026/01/10
    Iberian orca guardian, Alexandra Johnston, talks with Skaana host Mark Leiren-Young about hanging out with the world's most infamous orcas. On orcas as click-bait – the orcas who are “attacking” boats and how social media is creating orca hysteria. “Blue fin tuna is their main prey source. They are fish eaters, not boat eaters.” Alexandra Johnston. “I really feel these orcas have been used as click-bait for the last five years.” On the infamous White Gladys: “She's a part of this family that's fighting to survive. She's very authoritative, she's very dominant, she's very curious, but she's not this bloodthirsty tyrant leading this orca rebellion!”Skaana on social media:LinktreeFacebookBlueskyInstagramMark on social media:LinktreeFacebookBlueskyInstagramThreadsShownotes:2:22 Meet Alexandra Johnston – an “orca attack” survivor.3:35 “These guys blew my mind… I was just fascinated from my first encounter.” – Alexandra Johnson4:35 The first time she met an Iberian orcas and the magic of encountering their superpod.6:34 Meeting the “infamous” White Gladys and her newborn baby, Atlas.8:14 On the first time she saw a wild orca.10:45 “It's something very spiritual with the southern residents, isn't it?”14:35 “There is a big difference between their culture and their behaviour.
