Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Animals, Protection of Endangered Species, Wildlife Sanctuaries
Mission: The purpose and goals of The Wild Animal Sanctuary-TEXAS (TWAS-TEXAS) (formerly IEAS) are to provide a permanent sanctuary for exotic animals that have been abused, abandoned, neglected, confiscated, or previously owned by people unwilling or unable to provide for these magnificent beings. Additionally, TWAS-TEXAS educates the public through school programs, tour lectures, support for conservation programs, and public appearances.
Target demographics: People who are passionate about helping animals - especially Lions, Tigers, Bears, Wolves and other majestic Creatures who are victims of the Captive Wildlife Crisis in America today.
Geographic areas served: US - Canada - Mexico - South America - Spain
Programs: Since 1988 The Wild Animal Sanctuary-TEXAS has answered the call to rescue captive exotic and endangered large carnivores living in backyards, apartments, tiny cages, garages, crawl spaces, horse trailers, barns and other terrible situations. It is our goal to place all our animals into large acreage habitats where they can experience life with plenty of space, diets of exceptional quality, expert veterinary care and freedom from performing, traveling or doing things Nature did not intend. Education about the captive wildlife crisis--its causes and potential solutions--is critically important to the alleviation of suffering endured by millions of animals worldwide. It may sound idealistic, but The Wild Animal Sanctuary's network of accredited sanctuaries wants to change social consciousness so that people understand that captive large carnivores do not make good pets, and should not be used for entertainment or profit. We firmly believe that animals are here with us - not for us.
