Review for The Wild Animal Sanctuary- Texas (formerly International Exotic Feline Sanctuary, Inc.), Boyd, TX, USA
I used to work with a young guy who bought a male lion cub. The little cub grew up to weigh over 300 lbs, and he kept it fenced in on a farm in Boyd,Texas. There is where I went with him to meet his lion. When I stepped out of his jeep and saw the size of the lion, I was without words. He was incredible but I wouldn't go much closer. The guy knew he couldn't keep the lion, so I believe he found a forever home for him in a feline sanctuary. It may have been IEAS. I lost track of the guy over the years, but I've gone back to Boyd a few times in support of the important work that goes on there. They give hope to wild cats and other animals who have been abused or outgrown their homes. It was the first santuary of its kind to be recognized and become a member of tne National Zoological Society of zoos. There are tours for the public for your donation. They educate about the animals living there and run an intern program for students. It is a cool way to spend an afternoon!
