|  " To animals born in captivity and fated to be ignored and abused, I've dedicated this organization." - Bobbi Brink, Founder
|  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.
|  Some added attractions
|
 Looks like they are in pens but the added security is for the people. These cats have access to miles of outdoors, away from the public.
|  The tent party is about to begin
|  A side view of the stage
|  Waiting for the show to begin in the big tent, we wander off to find a cat checking us out.
|
 And the Bears..
|  One taking a hot tub
|  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.

 This fellow wanted to play and there was a kid jumping around outside.

|  The gal on stage is franticly painting the picture..
