I donated to them while at the Miami Parrot Jungle Island, naively thinking they were making a notable (and quantifiable) difference for endangered animals, that they were a non-profit, and that my donation would be matched by my employer. No such luck. I can’t find any concrete, reportable donations they’ve made to other organizations. The lack of linking from reputable non-profits also concerning. Does seem like a high-risk show waiting to go really wrong. I’m NOT hoping for that – but worry about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30314848.post-70172504104415955442008-11-18T00:53:00.000-08:002008-11-18T00:53:00.000-08:00I thought I smelled a rat somewhere!Thank you for ...I thought I smelled a rat somewhere!<BR/>Thank you for an excellent, unbiased, and professional opinion.

I'd like to think that anyway.<BR/><BR/>Anita13moonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778953120734562885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30314848.post-86350559559867788462008-11-07T14:48:00.000-08:002008-11-07T14:48:00.000-08:00I don't think she'd love this story all that much....I don't think she'd love this story all that much. She was horrified when she found beach chimps, babies with their teeth yanked out, posing for pictures with tourists so they captors could make money off them.<BR/><BR/>I don't view these TIGERS people as all that different.<BR/><BR/>Root and Shoots is a wonderful organization because it encourages conservation right at home, as you well know. It's a big reason why I feel really good about donating money the JGI.<BR/><BR/>You are absolutely right about Jane Goodall in another respect — she is truly a wonderful human being. She has taught so many, me included, about what humanity is.<BR/><BR/>One of the great high points in my teaching career was taking several of my students to meet her. I think they feel the same way.Field Noteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18372584643389870376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30314848.post-7756706164498763842008-11-07T14:41:00.000-08:002008-11-07T14:41:00.000-08:00wow--that's quite a story! i know that jane goodal...wow--that's quite a story! i know that jane goodall was totally bummed out when she first discovered that chimps actually seemed to 'war' with each other. i'm sure she'd love this story.

Certainly, the inclusion of "Greatly Endangered" in their name makes it seem like they're a non-profit sanctuary.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160883537054763513noreply@blogger.com
