Faces Of The Wild Animal Sanctuary

A Few Faces of The Wild Animal Sanctuary (Summer 2017).

Since January, 1980, The Wild Animal Sanctuary has responded to more than 1,000 requests from private citizens and government agencies to rescue animals from across the United States and around the world. The animals that are rescued were abused, abandoned, illegally kept, or were victims of other horrific situations.

The illicit exotic animal trade is the third largest source of illegal profits in the world today, just after illegal drugs and weapons. 

In the U.S. alone, there are an estimated 30,000 captive large carnivores living outside the zoo system. There are 4,000 Tigers living as “pets” in private homes in just the state of Texas, which is more Tigers than exist in the wild throughout the world.

The mission of The Wild Animal Sanctuary is: (1) to rescue captive large carnivores who have been abused, abandoned, illegally kept or exploited (2) to create for them a wonderful life for as long as they live (3) to educate about the causes and solutions to the Captive Wildlife Crisis.

Countless other large carnivores live in abusive conditions in roadside zoos, circuses, magic acts, traveling shows, and other substandard situations. Untold numbers of animals suffer and die each year due to neglect, abuse or because they are abandoned and left to die, starving and alone.
