A beautiful lioness relaxes in the tall grass of the eastern Colorado plains on a warm sunny day in June. She is a relatively new resident of +The Wild Animal Sanctuary near Keenesburg, which rescues captive wild animals from bad situations and gives them a loving, healthy home in northern Colorado.
This sanctuary was founded to help deal with the world's "Captive Wildlife Crisis". There are an estimated 30,000+ captive big cats, bears, wolves and other large carnivores living in substandard conditions throughout the U.S. In fact, after illegal drugs and weapons, the exotic animal trade is the third largest source of illicit profits in America - and in the world - today. The sanctuary rescues animals from these captive and often abusive situations and gives them a very large, natural-simulated habitat and world-class veterinary care. Their stated goals are "to prevent and alleviate cruelty to animals which are abandoned or that are subject to deprivation or neglect by providing care and boarding for such animals" and "to rescue and provide life-long homes for large exotic and endangered captive wild animals, and to educate the public about the causes of, and solutions to the World’s captive wildlife crisis".
Please visit their website (http://www.wildanimalsanctuary.org) to learn more about this wonderful place and to consider becoming a supporter of their efforts to rescue captive animals. :)
