Peace River Refuge and Ranch

Posted on October 5th, 2009 by karyn

There is always a place you can go to in Florida in order to see different forms of animal life. But, the Peace River Refuge & Ranch isn’t just a place for you to go to, it’s a sanctuary designed especially for exotic animals.

Peace River Refuge & Ranch is a facility that is dedicated to the lifelong care of exotic animals that have been abused, neglected, confiscated or a simply no long wanted by their owners. Many of these animals would face the prospect of being euthanized if it were not for Peace River Refuge & Ranch. The animal life that makes their home here are wild and diverse.

Tigers, cougars, leopards and wolves as well as bears, many different primates bats, and small wild cats all call Peace River Refuge & Ranch home, a 90 acre compound dedicated specifically to their wellbeing. Unlike your typical zoos and parks which make their income off of the animals they house there, a true sanctuary sees very little income from the publicity, or showcasing, of their animal residents because the needs of these animals take precedence over profit.

Mohandas Gandhi once said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Peace River Refuge & Ranch believe this to be true and stand by it at all costs. Make a reservation at this wonderful place and come see how animals are supposed to be treated when they are confined to captivity.

Instead of setting time aside to see the traditional alligators and other Floridian wildlife that is so readily available for public viewing, take a guided educational tour of Peace River Refuge & Ranch. You won’t be disappointed, and you’ll learn how you can help to help these animals in need.
