this sanctuary is great! theres so much space for the animals, lots of flowing fountains, and all the people who work there genuinely care for these animals. they may have had some sad beginnnings but all these animals now have a happy ending of thier own. all of the animals looked so calm and content. this place is really one of a kind- the only sanctuary to be a certified member of the AZA. i would recomend a visit if your in the area.
