  1. Every time I go to the Wildlife Sanctuary I wish I could take an animal home and have it as a house pet, but you can't!

  3. I think we should take another feild trip to the Wildlife Sanctuary to remind us that animals are truly unwanted and abused.

  4. Are there any wolves there? Hopefully no animal activists try to release them, and put us in the same boat as Montana,Idaho,Wyoming, and Colorado!

  6. Is this the sanctuary with the llamas? I didn't know that there were 40 different species! Also, anyone who abuses animals should be arrested or something!
