Join Mark and Sam for the top four wildlife news stories of the week, including:
- Buffalo Restoration with the Tanka Fund
- Former Wyoming Game and Fish director nominated by Trump to serve as the director of USFWS
- Maybe dogs didn't need us at all to domesticate themselves

Then, Mandy Culbertson, communications director for Wildlife for All, joins the pod to discuss why the language we use when discussing wildlife "management" matters. Words matter document.
Frequently, wildlife managers sanitize language when discussing wild animals and during this episode we discuss frequently used words and what we should use instead to shift the narrative around wild animals.
