Well, I'm glad I left the last blog update on a positive note, because sadly, this update is not so positive.
This weekend, a tour went in to check on the pseudo-sanctuary's touring animals. I was devastated to learn the cougar population declined from 14 cougars in January 2009 to 8 cougars today.
Two more tigers were no longer on tour and since the tour guide was new, it was impossible to learn the fate of these animals. The Arctic fox was gone too.
The tour observed the Lehman primates suffering from open wounds at the base of their tails and very red private areas. It looked like the primates were suffering from a severe rash or infection. Right in front of the tour, one of the primates urinated blood. The tour was shocked by the bloody urine, but the tour guide did not seem surprised. She never called the incident in to the office, rather she seemed more intent in moving the tour along to the next exhibit.
There was one wolf puppy on tour, living in a temporary make-shift cage and the tour guide stated the animal came from a "breeder." Supposedly, the animal is 90% wolf. Any logical person would ask, why would a breeder just give the pseudo-sanctuary a wolf pup for free? Where is the profit in that??
And finally, the pseudo-sanctuary has lowered its big cats' life expectancy at the facility from 18-26 years to 15-18 years. Very scary indeed since some of the older animals are approaching 15 years.
So, while this is all going on, the pseudo-sanctuary's female director is still on vacation instead of raising funds for the animals' care. And where is the pseudo-sanctuary's vet?? She also appears to be MIA...
