South Sanctuary - The Wildlife Refuge

Non-profit, non-government funded organization. I visited there in July 2016 and it's an amazing facility with individual habitats for all manner of carnivores. It was a very hot day and the tigers were jumping in and out of there pools. The pedestrian footbridge is an impressive idea so that you can view them high up without looking through a fence or into a cage.

Another great video (they have many - some require tissues to watch).

Visited there about 6 yrs ago. They still send me their magazine - it’s changed a lot. Would like to go back.
They do a great service to mistreated animals.

Are there any prairie dogs there that need to be part of the food chain? Carnivores just may need some helping out butt then those that run the place must be libtards.

There are an estimated 5,000 to 7,000 tigers in the United States, but fewer than 400 of them are in zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.


I jokingly told my Australian friends that they should import some tigers to make life more interesting, because of the lack of large mammalian preditors.

Then I recanted and said leopards would be better than tigers...

With all these exotic pet tigers, one wonders if a few would get loose in Australia. Plenty of game in Australia...

Build the damn wall.
Introduce large carnivores
Feed them with donkeys and rhinos.

Problems solved!

All of the 50 states have got a Springfield. The one in Colorado is sparsely populated and is no where near the big city of Denver. Best luck with the animals. I am thankful that the USA is able to provide such a sanctuary.

They are letting tigers roam loose?

Please tell me I am mis-reading that.

Asian bittersweet is enough of a nuisance without adding Asian tigers to the mix.

I have driven by the refuge but never went to it. My only concerns are that the animals are neutered to prevent yet more invasive species, and that they are treated properly in the winter. The lions and tigers are usually not in such a cold environment, although what do I know, Colorado has alligators in a hot springs at 8000 feet, who can seem to survive freezing lakes.
