There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

You know what else, at Lions/Tigers/Bears
They offer the option called "feed an animal" which I purchased cause it's for a good cause. But this of course attributes to the animals being overfed as well, but I understand why, they need the extra income. This sanctuary was great, they keep the animals in awesome habitats and lots of enrichment but it costs a lot of money and they need to take advantage of what ever gimmicks they can. The tiger there called Maverick is actually a former pet of the Rapper called Tyga, he was forced to give him up after he posted about it on IG or FB (he's a moron) but after he gave him up he has contributed $0 to helping this cat or taking care of it and that is the case for most animals they have there.
