Topic: When Bad Rescues Retaliate. How Whistleblowers are Attacked by Shady Rescues.

Uncovering the Dark Side of Animal Rescue & More!

Welcome back TRUE animal advocates!! Inspector Bark is B*A*C*K !

It has been way too long!

I have returned back to the podcast platform to continue where I left off.

On a regular monthly basis, I will pull back the curtain on rogue \"rescues\", unscrupulous \"shelters\" and the shadowy corners of an industry originally built on trust and compassion. From hoarding scandals to donation scams, I investigate the people and practices that exploit animals—and the public—in the name of saving them.

Hosted by Darcy Butkus, also known as Inspector Bark. I am a private investigator licensed in both Georgia and Florida, proudly own my own detective agency here in my home state of Georgia. My podcast station is your inside look at where good intentions go wrong, and how we can fight for real accountability in animal welfare.

New episodes every month. Check my facebook page, Inspector Bark for details. Subscribe now, and let’s expose the truth together. If you wish for me to add you to my contact email base, please send me your email to Info@Inspectorbark.com
