Thanks to your kindhearted support of the The Wild Animal Sanctuary's GlobalGiving project, "Help over 520 Rescued Lions, Tigers, & Bears", we have been able to continue our important mission of rescuing captive-bred large carnivores from situations of abuse and neglect, provide them with large-acreage habitats, and educate the public of their plights and the Captive Wildlife Crisis. None of this would be possible without people like you! For that, we are eternally grateful.
We'd like to regularly keep you updated with the goings-on at the Sanctuary, and how your donation has made a difference in the Animals' lives. Since we began this project through GlobalGiving, there have been many changes in the world. While all of humanity has been dealing with the COVID-19 Crisis, we have had to adapt and continue our life-saving and pertinent work for the Animals. Through the darkness, there has been some light, including the rescue of 3 innocent (and very cute!) Grizzly bear cubs: Charlotte, Oliver, and Charity.
These 3 cubs have been through enough stress and heartache to last a lifetime. They lost their mother due to a terrifying location transfer, and only had each other for comfort. Their irresponsible keeper, looking to avoid prosecution, surrendered the cubs to the Columbus Zoo in Ohio. While the zoo of course would have taken excellent care of them, they decided it would be best for the cubs to begin their lives at a Sanctuary with ample space and resources to provide them with all they deserve. Charlotte, Oliver, and Charity have since been thriving at the Sanctuary! They are slowly acclimating to their new large-acreage habitat together, romping around and splashing in the pool, and eating their fill of nutritious food. It has been a joy for staff, volunteers, and our visitors to see.
There is so much more we'd love to share with you, so to learn more about the cubs (as well as many other exciting updates about the Sanctuary), please visit the link below to read our Summer 2020 Newsletter! Thank you again for your generosity and love for the Animals.
