I live near this facility and have witnessed the good work they do, not only with animals that unfortunately need to be rescued, but with the foster kids they take in that benefit from a nurturing environment where they are taught to care for and love these animals, and receive much needed love at the same time. This is a rescued lion, as are the tiger and bear, so it is very possible that they were in improperly cared for before being rescued by Noah's Ark.
