Why the Need for Sanctuary?
How would you feel if a bear or other large animal was living next door to you, in your neighbor’s back yard? As outrageous as it sounds, it happens all over the United States. Since the advent of the internet, private owners and road side attractions have purchased bear cubs for as little as $300, but often don’t have the facilities to properly house large, dangerous carnivores safely and with dignity. Because private ownership of these animals is not viable in the long term and the animal can not be placed back in the wild or zoo, the need for rescue organizations with sanctuary spaces is needed now more than ever. Across the United States, thousands of large exotic animals are in need of placement, and we’re here to help! Do You Know of a Exotic Animal in Need of Rescue? BEARS Etc. is South Texas’ leader in animal rescue and placement. Whether it’s a private owner who no longer can care for the exotic animal, a person or organization selling these animals through the exotic pet trade, or animal control needing assistance, our organization has a long history of facilitating solutions for these animals. We also aid in aviary and aquatic rescues, with on-premise facilities. Our network is large, as is our ability to help.
