Private Tour of Los Angeles Zoo

Since Disneynature Bears opens Friday, April 18 in theaters, the perfect addition to my press trip was to visit the Los Angeles Zoo with a private tour. Visiting the LA Zoo was a highlight of my trip. I absolutely love animals. I am always taking in strays or other animals that need homes. We raise cattle, horses, chickens, ducks and have a bunch of cats. I’ll soon be adding goats to the list and anything else I can find. They are all so spoiled and get the best care. We live on a very large farm so taking in all sorts of animals is not a problem for us. It has always been a life long goal of mine to open a very large free-range style shelter for animals in need. Some day…

I have to admit, visiting the animals at the zoo made me miss mine at home so much that I nearly had tears in my eyes thinking about my animals. I know, I am such a baby when it comes to them! I have always been unsure of zoo life for animals and wondered what it’s like for them being out of their natural habitats because I’m always about letting animals live their life and be able to roam as they please. Nothing makes me more angry than animals being cared for improperly or when people can’t see the beauty in each of them. After seeing the care these animals receive I could not be more happy about the life they have. Each animal has their own caretakers and receive 24-hour vet care whenever needed. Watching the animals with their caretakers you can tell they are so happy and love where they live. (more…)
