Promoting ethical animal importing and breeding; animal import should be avoided where possible in favor of domestic breeding to sustain native populations of animals, animals bred in captivity are much better adjusted than animals captured in the wild, and animals should be removed from their home environment with extreme prejudice.
Environmental Conservation
With a primary mission to end the suffering of exotic animals through rescue and education, we recognize that maintaining native habitats is essential to animals of all kinds. Our physical locations and educational outreach programs focus not only animal welfare, but also how we can be good stewards of the earth for the betterment of all animals.
Education and Outreach
The education and outreach programs at Wild Discovery create awareness of exotic animal welfare and
environmental conservation. We serve to educate the community on what having a pet means, how best to care
for that pet, and how you can help animals all around the world through environmental conservation.
