People please excuse the poor fool that uses Keeper as a name, Anyone that is ashamed to post a real name on a review has 1- either something to hid by bashing with a fake name 2- works for Carole Baskin 3- been fired from GW 4- or been booted out of the USZA for being too much drama. The USZA is a great org that helps anyone in need. Please join us in the fight to provide animals in captivity a chance to be with the people that love them. Joe Schreibvogel President
I Travel across the Country and stop at different Wildlife parks,Zoo's and Sanctuary's....And this Park is Outstanding!!! The care and interaction with Animals has been a wonderful experience! I so look forward to many more visits and would recommend other Traveler's like myself to stop and Enjoy!!! 5 STARS for GW!
Yet another group designed to pull at heart strings. It is headed by Joseph Schreibvogel a very money hungry, drama queen who is linked to working with horrible zoos in India and bad animal brokers. He breeds for greed so this organization is yet another ploy for him to line his pockets while big cats suffer and they recieve sub standard care. When he will spend the money on flea control then he might get a different review from someone who just watches and isn't one of his self proclaimed "joe exotic minions". These folks have formed a cult like situation and have the mentality to go with it. When they stop attacking those that are just asking questions and expect honest answers then they will get respect until then this is not something I will ever support. They rank right up there with the HSUS and their manipulative occupations.
These guys are great. They take wonderful care of all of their animals, and take in rehomes/rescues of just about every species you can think of as well as breed endangered/threatened species. They have clean, roomy enclosures, and give their animals lots of love. You can really tell how much the owner and staff care about the animals in their care. Keep up the great work, guys!
I love this organization. They help all animals, not just one species. They are doing a wonderful job in helping educate people on various animals. If you teach people about the planet and it's animals, then people will want to help save this earth. We all must work as a team to preserve our animals.
Wonderful organization that works hard to educate the general public on the plight of the big cat. They have rigid standards for accreditation, and also rescue big cats in need for various reasons. For the private zoo, educational facility this is a wonderful, professional organization to stand with. They are there to help you protect your rights and those of the animals!!
This is a top notch organization, They are doing wonders in the exotic community as well as general community through services & education. Their level of excellence in facility standards is beyond reproach!
What a fantastic organization!! They work for the animals and educate people beyond the myths!! They have high expectations of any facility that is accredited by the USZA and also aid in the rescue of animals that have been removed from their homes due to the ridiculous regulations that are clearly not geared with the animals best interest in mind. GO TEAM USZA!!
USZA is the best organization they help an care an love animals.They put them first only the best for the animals is where the heart is
They put the animals first. Its refreshing to find a group who spend the money where it should be put. On REALLY helping animals in need and not lining someones pocket or going into crazy advertisements. When I donate money to help an animals I want it to go to that and not private jets and so on
This is the best organization out there to help animals and people. I think what you did in Missouri was great when you went and helped that zoo in trouble. Anyone with any kind of pet should join
I love what this group does for animals. They speak out for what's right & they put animals first. We need more people like this in the world.
I am honored to serve on the board of such an outstanding organization. The love & devotion shared by my fellow board members toward animals makes me both proud & humbled at the same time. What a great bunch of people. Go Team USZA, for the animals, always!
I first heard about The United States Zoological Association on facebook. I started following their posts & really love the way they represent the bonds between people and their animals. As an avid animal lover myself, nothing gives me greater pleasure than seeing what they do to help owners & fellow animal lovers. I look forward to watching their progress & wish them nothing but the most heartfelt success. I tell everyone about the animals I've learned about from their page. I had no idea there was an organization that was all for the animals in every sense. God Bless you Team USZA!
I love the USZA. I have watched them grow into a fine organization. The people care deeply about saving animals and getting them the best care possible when they come from bad situations or need to be rehomed. I love being a member of the best animal organization out there!
These guys actually put their money where their mouth is! Unlike so many "rescue" groups today, they do whatever it takes to help, rather than just take somebody's animals and then tell sob stories about how abusive their "victim" was. And when they do step in and take an animal, you can be sure it's going to be treated better at the Park, not worse or killed off. Their caging is strong, secure, and good-looking, unlike the chicken wire-and-hog ties of a place I saw in Florida. Contributions earmarked for a special cause or as a special memorial will certainly go where specified, and not into the owner's country club dues or retirement fund like with that big national "humane" outfit. They don't skimp on animal feed either, don't feed "scraps," and more importantly, don't feed live small animals to bigger animals.
This is one of the best animal rescued association in our country. There rescues are so professional the animals come out with little to NO upset to the animals life. Then they have a forever home at GW Park with the staff and Joe Exotic. He teaches his staff menbers how to interact with the animals and the ability to help take care of them all. They came to Ohio to help fight the exotic animal ban where there would be no need to have to start rescuing Ohio animals because of a bad exotic law which will put alot of animals in danger of losing there loving home. This association I believe is a voice for the animal exotic and domestic. God Bless them for that.
Never have I seen such 'professionalism in action' when doing a big cat rescue!!! From the equipment used, to the person in charge and the handling of the animals. It was a long exhausting trip with sight focused on the task at hand. Everything done appropriately and in a timely fashion. I would love to work with them again on any level!!!
This is a wonderful organization that helps peoplewho owns pets both domestic and exotic as well as helping new and future ownes through education. They also help private owners and sanctuaries wiyh caring for them as well.
The United States Zoological Association (USZA) is an organization that restored my faith in humanity. They fight for people who are being attacked for the pets they own & offer help to get them up to state guidelines so they can keep their pets. They work from the heart & love animals as much as I do. They won't tolerate any cruelty to animals. And they speak out against all hatred, discrimination & bigotry toward animals. They believe all animals deserve to be loved & protected, no matter what the species is. Please help them help the animals. This is one organization that isn't about making themselves rich. All funds go directly back to helping animals. Whether it's rehoming an animal because of ban laws, or to give them a better home, USZA always steps up to the plate to make it happen.

Keeper72, first of all you're sadly mistaken on your facts. There is no "lining of pockets" here. Get your facts straight. The USZA is an organization that puts their money where their mouth is. We have dealt with your mentality before. And the only reason you even bothered to comment is because it was just shared that we made the list as a Top Charity, which means once again you're stalking our facebook page. Shame on you. And if you think using "Keeper72" as your profile name makes you unknown to us, again you're sadly mistaken! But thanks for the laugh, AGAIN.
