2 " To animals born in captivity and fated to be ignored and abused, I've dedicated this organization." - Bobbi Brink, Founder
3 The Mission is: Lions Tigers & Bears is dedicated to providing a safe haven to abused and abandoned exotic animals and to inspiring an educational forum to end the exotic animal trade. As a state and federally licensed 501(c)(3) non-profit, we are a NO KILL, NO BREED sanctuary that allows the animals in our care to live out their lives with dignity in a caring and safe environment.

10 One taking a hot tub
11 Looks like this bear is in a small crate but actually he is free to go all over and they feed and they sleep in their containers. If a fire comes, or it is time for a medical, they are used to being in their own space.
