We visited Black Pine this fall at their Halloween festivities for the first time. It was a wonderful park! We were able to see the animals closer than our traditional zoo and learn their history. The people who worked there were very friendly and took time to discuss each animal. The park offers so much for the community, not only to assist the exotic cast aways but to enrich the lives of our community members by showing compassion for their animals and promoting responsible pet ownership. My family as well as anyone who will listen to me will be visiting Black Pine and supporting Black Pine for years to come! Thank you Black Pine for all you do!
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
My children have a better understanding of why keeping exotic pets is not appropriate. The also have seen the compassion displayed towards animals and have learned to appreciate wildlife better.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would donate all the money in the world to expand this sanctuary and ensure its survival as it is a place that is needed. Places like these are wonderful, but also struggle to make ends meet financially and rely on generous donations.
