Welcome to the Dark History podcast. When you think of the zoo, what comes to mind? Saying hi to cute animals? That’s what I thought too, until I started digging and learned that zoos are way darker than I thought. And when I say darker, I mean human zoos with REAL people and a black market animal trade. Let me know what you guys think about this one and if you want a human zoo episode.
