WILDLIFE HOSPITAL + THE PEREGRINE MYSTERY | Wildlife Advocate | Edward Clark, Jr.

Edward Clark, Jr. is the president & founder of The Wildlife Center of Virginia, a world-renowned wildlife hospital in Waynesboro, Virginia. Ed - a passionate & gregarious wildlife advocate and a real character - tells us about their 19 orphaned bear cub patients, a brutal case of mange, an ornery bobcat's thrill ride, & how hunting in his youth sparked his love for nature. We hear a handful of potent PSAs: dos & don'ts when handling our wild animal neighbors and the potential of loving an animal to death... Between our fascinating convo Ed recounts two tales: the first about a poisoned bald eagle that blew the lid off a pesticide conspiracy; followed by a deeply personal account he's never shared publicly, the story of his numinous bond with a peregrine falcon that left him utterly mystified.
