Animal Edventures

ANIMAL ED.VENTURES IS A BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE EXOTIC WILDLIFE SANCTUARY-TURNED-HUMAN-PEACE-PARK LOCATED IN COATS, NC THAT HONORS NATURE, CELEBRATES DIVERSITY, AND PROVIDES BOTH A SAFE HAVEN FOR THE DISPLACED AND RESCUED ANIMALS IN OUR CARE, AS WELL AS PEACE AND A SPACE OF DECOMPRESSION FOR THE HUMAN SPIRIT. TODAY'S WORLD CAN FEEL A LITTLE CHAOTIC AT TIMES AND WE HOPE TO PROVIDE A SPACE OF SPIRITUAL RESPITE FOR ALL WHO ENTER OUR GATES. WE PRACTICE AND PROMOTE A MINDFUL, LOVING, AND HARMONIC CONNECTION TO THE EARTH, HER CREATURES, AND EACH OTHER. WE FILL A VERY UNIQUE AND MUCH NEEDED NICHE. WE HAVE CREATED A PLACE FOR ANIMALS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED IN HUMAN HOMES TO HAVE A SPACE THAT CATERS TO THEIR HEALTH AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS WHILE STILL MAINTAINING THE HUMAN CONTACT RELATIONSHIPS THAT THEY WERE RAISED ON. WE ALLOW THEM TO DICTATE THEIR WANTS AND NEEDS AS FAR AS THOSE RELATIONSHIPS GO RATHER THAN "FORCING" THEM TO EXIST WITHIN THE SET PARAMETERS OF LIFE IN A "HUMAN ZONE" . WE HAVE MADE IT OUR MISSION TO BROADEN THE HORIZONS OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS ALIKE, FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE, THROUGH THE MEETING OF OUR RESCUED AND RE-HOMED ANIMAL AMBASSADORS THAT REPRESENT NATURE FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD. WE OFFER A CLOSE-UP AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND BELIEVE THAT BY BRINGING TO LIFE SUCH PLACES AS AUSTRALIA, AFRICA, AND THE RAIN-FORESTS OF SOUTH AMERICA, WE WILL BE ABLE TO HELP PEOPLE RE-CONNECT TO REAL FEELINGS OF WONDER AND AWE MOST OF US HAD AS CHILDREN. FEELINGS THAT WE BELIEVE WILL BE THE CATALYST FOR REALIZING THE PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP THAT IS NEEDED TO DRIVE OUR SOCIETY TO PRESERVE THE BEAUTIFUL WORKS OF MOTHER NATURE AND HER HABITATS WORLDWIDE.IT IS OUR MISSION AS WELL TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF THE EVER EXPANDING EXOTIC PET TRADE AND EDUCATE ABOUT THE PROS, CONS AND COMMITMENT INVOLVED IN THE KEEPING OF EXOTIC OR DOMESTIC PETS. WE PROMOTE THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP AND HUSBANDRY PRACTICES. WE EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THE IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCHING A PET BEFORE BRINGING IT HOME AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO PONDER THE ETHICS OF KEEPING WILD ANIMALS AS PETS AND HOW TO DECIDE THOSE THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR THE MANY, THE FEW, OR NOT-AT-ALL. WE ARE DEDICATED TO PROVIDING SANCTUARY, EITHER TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT, TO ANY ANIMAL IN NEEDA DRIVING FORCE BEHIND ANIMAL ED.VENTURES IS THE TRUEST WISH FOR A KINDER, GENTLER WORLD. A WORLD WHERE ACCEPTANCE, LOVE, MINDFULNESS, AND HARMONY BETWEEN HUMANS AND OUR NATURAL WORLD IS A WAY OF LIFE. WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS OUR ONLY HOPE IF WE WISH TO SAVE OUR PLANET AND ALL HER BEAUTIFUL CREATURES.
