SUMMARY:Conversations of the Valley ?Where the Wild Things Are (And Where they Should Be
DESCRIPTION:"Where the Wild Things Are (And Where they Should Be)"\n\n \n\nwith guest speaker Tammy Thies\n\n \n\nFew people realize that there are more exotic cats in backyards in the U.S. than in zoos\, and that they often live horrible lives. Tammy Thies is the founder of the Wildcat Sanctuary\, a  nonprofit that provides a safe home to felid species including cougar\, tiger\, lynx and other wild cats in need of shelter. Thies made a midlife career change to become a voice for these animals\, opening the sanctuary on 40 acres in Sandstone. The sanctuary houses over 120 residents and educates the public about the captive wildlife crisis across the United States\, as well as supporting legislative efforts banning these practices. Tammy will share why it is so important to keep the wild in your heart and not in your home. Her  personal story\, personality\, and incredible experience with some of the most abused and endangered species on our planet make for a riveting presentation.
