Speaker for today: Kati Krouse with Bears Etc.
There is a need for a bear sanctuary. There are many cat sanctuaries out there for animals such as tigers and lions but bears end up getting placed at sanctuaries that aren’t completely education on how to take care of these bears. We are a 501(c)3, just a small baby organization. Right now we are looking for 20-25 acres, but in the long run we hope to have 200 acres. We also want to have onsite housing for veterans. They can receive training and learn a trade and then be able to turn around and go out & get a job using this trade. The exotic pet trade is a 2 billion dollar industry second to drugs. The gun industry used to be second but the exotic pet trade surpassed that a couple years ago. Raffle: Still up for grabs!
