Since the beginning of time, clans, towns, regions and entire countries have gone to war against each other over the slightest verbal insult to the most egregious offense possible. However, with all the lives that are lost before, during and after a war is over, there is little doubt that the people who served for the benefit of others, did so with the greatest of honor.
The Captive Wildlife Crisis is real and there is no denying that it has been a long and arduous battle. Over and over the battle to reduce the number of breeders has raged on. This is an update on both The Refuge and recent rescued animals that have found their home here. Joe Exotic, Jeff and Lauren Lowe and others fought their own personal war via acts of public revenge. Their documented information allowed law enforcement and PETA to prosecute these three individuals as well as Tim Stark and Doc Antle.
To date, we have rescued well over 120 Lions, Tigers, Bears and many assorted hybrids belonging to these Tiger King characters. Many are currently living at The Refuge in spacious habitats. However, in order for us to absorb all or most of the animals that countless other breeders currently have, it will require many more habitat spaces to be created.
Today, nearly 1,000 acres of the nearly 10,000 acres have been developed. The project is moving forward. With your continued assistance, we can bring even more of these majestic animals home!
