The Wild Animal Sanctuary

America and the world have a captive wildlife crisis. As many as 30,000 captive great cats, bears, wolves and other large carnivores are 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 the world—today. The Wild Animal Sanctuary is all about saving the victims of this crisis. We crisscross the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Central and South America and the rest of the world rescuing captive exotic and endangered large carnivores that have been abused, abandoned, exploited or illegally kept.
