Idle-Hour Ranch的点评
点评：I visited this “sanctuary” recently because I love animals and wanted to support what I thought was a caring rescue environment. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely distressing and raised serious concerns about animal welfare.
Many of the enclosures were extremely small, dirty, and seemed inappropriate for the exotic animals being kept there. Especially in colder winter temperatures.
But the most alarming incident was when a goat collapsed right in front of us. It couldn’t get up and was clearly in distress, letting feces and urine leak from its body while it laid there. It took around 15 minutes before anyone came to help. Staff tried to get the owner’s attention, but he was more focused on giving paid camel rides instead. He actually gave about 5 after being notified by an employee. There was zero urgency.
When the owner finally came over about 30 minutes later, his response was shockingly dismissive and incredibly insensitive. He dragged the animal roughly by the head and brought it to a hidden part of the facility where no one would see it. He then left it, making inappropriate jokes instead of showing any real care or urgency.
This experience left me heartbroken and convinced me that this is not a true sanctuary but a for-profit attraction with little regard for the animals’ well-being. While I understand that animal welfare laws vary by state, it was painfully clear that the owner showed no genuine concern for the health or safety of the animals he’s profiting from.
I would strongly encourage others to think twice before visiting, and I sincerely hope that animal welfare authorities take a closer look at this facility immediately.

翻译：我最近参观了这个“动物保护区”，因为我热爱动物，想支持我认为是一个充满爱心的救助机构。然而，这次经历却令人极其难过，也让我对动物福利产生了严重的担忧。
许多动物的圈舍都非常狭小、肮脏，似乎并不适合饲养这些珍稀动物，尤其是在寒冷的冬季。
但最令人震惊的是，一只山羊突然倒在我们面前。它无法起身，显然非常痛苦，粪便和尿液顺着身体流淌下来。大约过了15分钟才有人过来帮忙。工作人员试图引起主人的注意，但他却一心想着提供付费骑骆驼服务。在一位工作人员通知他之后，他竟然还提供了大约5次骑骆驼的服务。他完全没有表现出任何紧迫感。
大约30分钟后，主人终于过来了，但他的反应却令人震惊地冷漠无情。他粗暴地拽着山羊的头，把它拖到了一个隐蔽的角落，那里没有人会看到它。然后他离开了，非但没有表现出任何真正的关心或紧迫感，反而开起了不合时宜的玩笑。
这次经历让我心碎，也让我确信这并非真正的动物庇护所，而是一个以盈利为目的的景点，对动物的福祉漠不关心。虽然我理解各州的动物福利法有所不同，但显而易见，这位主人对他从中获利的动物的健康和安全毫无真正的关心。
我强烈建议大家在前往之前三思，并真诚地希望动物福利机构立即对这家机构进行深入调查。
