    Animal enrichment toys are a valuable asset to all sanctuaries and zoos. Not only do they provide the exercise that all animals need, but they also help to eliminate boredom and keep animals mentally active. At this site you can see what Cougar Ridge has on its Wish List as a tax deductible contribution through Sanctuary Supplies. Due to the size of Casanova, our tiger, we can only obtain these kinds of strong and large toys through this specialty supply store.

This is important because they have much more experience and are organized and ready to go to the Supreme Court if necessary. Currently their main battle is in Florida and they are dedicated to preserving our constitutions, the environment, economy and a citizens right through responsible scientific, ecological and biological management. They are leading the fight over the clearly unconstitutional FWC. Those of us that are licensed by them have no due process! This is America! And they are tyranny. I am not a fisherman but our beliefs are so close that they have picked up my cause and been of the greatest help. Please visit their website. They are Americans looking out for your rights whether you fish or not!
