This past Saturday I went with 12 other members of the University of Wisconsin's Undergraduate Zoological Society to a sanctuary in Sharon, Wisconsin--- south of Madison. It was an amazing experience! I have been so deprived of animal company and was itching to do some work with or at some sort of rescue organization. I've been exploring options in Madison since my arrival but transportation is a major problem and the bus line doesn't go out into the more rural areas where most rescues are set up. But with the aid of some older undergrads and their cars we trekked the 1.5 hours and arrived at the Valley of the Kings. We did some fencing repair and scrap metal hauling before we got our tour. Now I want to go back! You can learn more about this sanctuary by visiting their website at : http://www.votk.org/
Now for some pictures.....
A cute pot bellied piggy enjoying an apple I gave him. The chickens were eating the apple too, actually! hehe
A big ole lion sunning himself. He's just as happy as I am that spring is here!!
A stunning leopard nicely taking some chicken from one of the club members.
Look at this beautiful guy!
A neutered male lion (this is what causes the mane to fall out) eating his chicken like a gentleman!
MORE TO COME......
