Follow the truth.

"This institution will be based on the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it." -- Thomas Jefferson to William Roscoe, December 27, 1820.

Comments

1 - There is a fine line between advocating for the welfare of animals and making a dollar.
Visit Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo and view the distress of Lucy, the Florida Panther who is part of the zoo's species recovery activities as reported in the Tampa Tribune Newspaper by recent visitors.
Empower yourself regarding the association between Lex Salisbury, Lowry Park Zoo, Safari Wild and the Exotic Animal Trade.

Respectfully,
