Forever Wild Exotic Animal Sanctuary

Forever Wild Exotic Animal Sanctuary is run by Joel and Chemaine Almquist in Phelan, CA. This couple started this task many years ago when they started keeping wild cats in the backyard and took care of them. Later on they ended up with this wonderful sanctuary.

At this Sanctuary there are no adoptions. The big cats have found a home forever. Some come from the entertainment industry, some came because their owners no longer could afford to keep a big wild cat and some have been rescued from abusive situations.

Of the cat family, the couple looks after servals, lynxes, bobcats, tigers, mountain lions, black leopards and one regal African lioness. They have 26 wild cats in their sanctuary.

It's always nice to see people who go out of the way to take care of animals like this couple. With these efforts they have helped many big cats who were in danger of being put down as well. People can support this couple by contributing for the animals and can visit this sanctuary themselves also.

Act Now - Wild Tigers are Facing Extinction!

The world's wild tiger population has been diminishing for several years. Tigers are so endangered now that they face the possibility of extinction as early as the year 2020. So it's appalling to find out that the illegal tiger trade is still operating as strong as ever. Because of loopholes in current legislation, captive tiger owners aren't required to obtain certain permits or meet specific standards. There is no reporting system for keeping tabs on these owners' activities, which means the tigers aren't protected from abuse and poaching.

These majestic animals need protections if they are to continue to reproduce and replenish their populations. We need to close the current loopholes and require that captive tiger owners follow very specific and rigorous regulations. Sign the petition asking Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar to work toward closing the loopholes and saving the one of the world's most beautiful creatures.
