Heather and I went out to The Wild Animal Sanctuary for Heather’s birthday. It’s an impressive facility that houses many big cats, bears, and other animals that can’t be released back into the wild because of too much contact with humans.
The big walkway allows people to watch the animals without disturbing the animals.
