Kiro:
Mexico Government Confiscation
- Kiro is a male Leopard that was
confiscated by the Mexican
Government agency known as
PROFEPA
due to his being trafficked illegally.
When rescued,
Kiro was suffering from abuse
and neglect including having been
declawed on all four feet and being
malnourished and underweight.
Kiro is now at a healthy weight and has regained his agility and mental health.
This handsome Leopard can look forward to living
a wonderful life in a sensory-rich habitat with the Sanctuary’s many other Leopards. - TWAS
"Pleiades" is another example of human meddling, as White Tigers are inbred to such a degree that all of them have genetic issues as well. Although Pleiades is less than one year old, he has severely crossed eyes as a result of the endless inbreeding that took place when person after person bred White Tiger fathers to their White Tiger daughters...

These two heard the truck coming....
And then Oscar says - hey!!! I can't see - so he stands up to check things out!!
Do they just make you laugh? I know - I am easily entertained - but seeing them in a happy place - makes me happy!
Here is the website for the sanctuary - you can read more about all the animals they have there - and learn their rescue stories. They always need money - but sometimes they need donations of things you have around your house - and you can ship them there. One time they had a towel drive - and That was pretty cool - I cleaned out a closet!!
Enjoy!!!
Great photos! My hubby and I will have to visit! His hobby is photography. Our chances of visiting one of these sanctuaries is much better than going on a safari!
ReplyDeleteIt is so heart-warming to see those beautiful animals at peace and in the comfort and environment they deserve. I wish we could rescue ALL animals that are being abused. I can't bear to think about it. Glad you got to have such a good time!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I love to watch the bears, too! We occasionally see them around our yard--they hurry for no man! lol
ReplyDeleteSoooo cool!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great birthday! I like the ears on that right-facing bear, but it would probably be happy to eat me.
ReplyDeleteMore pix, more pix.
Thanks for sharing.
