The Wild Animal Sanctuary
A rescued bobcat waits to be fed at The Wild Animal Sanctuary on Oct. 20, 2011 in Keenesburg. The non-profit sanctuary is a 720 acre refuge for large carnivores that have been confiscated from illegal or abusive situations and is currently home to over 290 lions, tigers, bears, wolves and other animals. It is the oldest and largest carnivore sanctuary in the United States, having been in operation since 1980. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
