Occasionally, the most profound insights into justice can emerge from the least expected environments.
In a captivating episode of Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum collaborates with retired FBI agent Scott Duffey and former NYPD Sergeant Joseph Giacalone at the inaugural Wildlife CSI Academy held at Lake Tobias Wildlife Park in Pennsylvania.
Amidst the presence of giraffes, kangaroos, and a sloth named Chewy, the trio delves into discussions about how their experiences alongside endangered animals have transformed their perspectives on empathy, preparation, and collaboration. Their heartfelt dialogue underscores the notion that some of the most valuable lessons in justice can stem from nature itself.
