TWAS, A PLACE CALLED HOME with PAT CRAIG
EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Big cats in captivity can be found everywhere. From Las Vegas to shopping malls, to roadside zoos, and even in backyards and basements. There is a captive wildlife crisis and Pat Craig of The Wild Animal Sanctuary spends his life changing this. Not bred for the bullet, but in horrific circumstances none-the-less, law and licensing doesn’t always guarantee proper or humane treatment of animals and the entire captive wildlife industry stands divided by ethical views. The most effective way to attain positive captive wildlife management is through an educated public and the subsequent social pressure they will apply. Pat educates us on the nuts and bolts of what rescue involves. How are rescued animals from diverse situations introduced to one another? How do you ensure their security? What happens behind the scenes for an animal coming from a life of horror into one with dignity? Education is knowledge... and this knowledge saves lives.
