Rocky Mountain Wildlife Conservation Center to close

The Rocky Mountain News reports that 150 bears, tigers and lions are about to lose their home at a Colorado sanctuary. Please help if you can.

UPDATE: It has been a year since I wrote this post. And I'm happy to report that the sanctuary has been able to remain open, thanks to dedicated volunteers and generous donors. It's open from 9 to 4 daily, except for on holidays and in bad weather. It also keeps its doors open late on summer Fridays and Saturdays. Visit wildanimalsanctuary.org to learn more. Consider making a donation! Jessica Biel did.

Wow, I am speechless at the amazing story I saw on animal planet rescuing the black leopard since he was a cub. My name is Puya from Philadelphia. I am currently a student. The whole families are genuine and real dedicated to these animals. I am also an animal lover and would love to get involved in doing things. This show not only touched me but also inspired to push myself and takes action. I love the whole family you guys are a team and angles. I will make sure I do anything to help you organization when I am established to do so, till than I will pray that all keeps on working out for the RMWCC.

I also saw the Animal Planet program.I think the work you are doing out there to save & preserve these beautiful creatures deserves a HUGE,heartfelt "THANK YOU" from one animal lover to another.It is things such as this that help ensure the future of these animals for generations to come and that is so important in this day and age.Keep up the good work and God bless:)

Just finished watching about Eddie and have a huge lump in my throat. God Bless you for what you do. I was wondering if you received any of the big cats from the Siberian Tiger Foundation near Columbus, Ohio. I volunteered there for a while and have always wondered what happened to them. Look for a check from me. Sincerely, J Dixon

hello my name is scott deweil I'm 18 years old and I'm going to college to become a zoologist/ wildlife rehab specialist. I've wanted to do this for a long time now. I watch animal planet around the clock seeing nearly all the old growing ups,like with eddie the black leopard. i hope that you will still be running when i get out of college because I was hoping with the permission of Pat Craig that i would be able to work their because I've that he specialized in big cats which is the reason that i Want to enter the field of raising and taking care of animals and feel even after my college learning that i could still learn alot from him. so I will do all I can to help you stay operational for the animals.

What wonderful dedication your entire family have. My brother and I watched the story about Eddie today and just had to look y'all up online. We're eternally grateful for people like you that have the energy, time and opportunity to do what you do for all of these magnificant animals. I gotta admit I'm very envious of you and especially your sons that had the great fortune to grow up thinking living with these animals was "normal". What a dream come true it would be for me to do what you do. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your love a dedication to these animals. We're in Central Florida and wish there was a sanctuary here that provided what you do. We'd like to know more about Eddie and the rest of the menagerie. How old is he now? How have his parents faired? How did he and the Spotted Leopards do on their 20 acres. How did you get all of those beautiful Tigers? Lions? Bears? I could go on and on.
Thank you again for being who and what you are.
