Today we went to the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, CO, which is a 45 minute drive from Denver, up near Ft. Morgan. The Wild Animal Sanctuary takes in primarily wild cats that were owned by people who were too stupid to realize that these cats don't make great domestic family pets. They also take in animals who are retired from zoos and as such are no longer wanted by the zoos. They have around 150 tigers and a bunch of lions, wolves and bears. We were fortunate enough to arrive just before they were fed and as such, they were filled with crazy playful energy. As you can see in the photo I posted above, the Tigers were having a marvellous time playing in the water in an effort to cool down from the hot weather we're experiencing.
Here's the website for the sanctuary:
