点评:Awesome place and mission!
A wonderful visit and an in person lesson as to why we need laws in the US to not allow personal ownership of wild animals - the abuse is awful, and if they are lucky, they end up here (or another ACCREDITED, legal, true sanctuary).
Think twice before you go to a private "zoo," "sanctuary," or "farm." Many are abusers at worst, and, at best, they are struggling beyond their means to survive and then the animals suffer.
NEVER get your picture taken close up with a wild animal, or hold one, or watch them perform - they are drugged or beaten into submission - do not support, condone, or pay to help that business continue. Look for accredited places, non-profits (maybe), and check out internet complaints and better business bureau BEFORE you visit - and if you do visit other places, please REPORT any animal issues you witness.
But here, at Lions, Tigers and Bears - they are the best of the best - and worth the cost which 100% goes to the animals.
Don't miss this place!!!!

一次精彩的参观,也让我亲身领悟了为什么美国需要立法禁止私人拥有野生动物——虐待动物的行为非常可怕,如果幸运的话,它们最终会来到这里(或其他获得认证的、合法的、真正的庇护所)。
去私人“动物园”、“庇护所”或“农场”之前要三思。很多机构在最坏的情况下是虐待动物,在最好的情况下,它们挣扎求生,而动物则遭受痛苦。
切勿与野生动物近距离合影,也不要抱抱它们,也不要观看它们的表演——它们会被下药或殴打致死——不要支持、纵容或花钱帮助这种生意继续下去。在参观之前,请寻找获得认证的机构、非营利组织(或许可以),并查看互联网投诉和商业改进局(BBB)的信息——如果您确实去了其他地方,请报告您发现的任何动物问题。
但这里的狮子、老虎和熊都是顶级的,物超所值,而且这些钱100%都花在了动物身上。
千万不要错过这个地方!!!!
