Felidae Centre Footage July 2016
Footage from my amazing volunteer experience, the 'non-work' aspect at Felidae Centre in Kimberley South Africa. Felidae is a Big Cat Sanctuary that rescues and rehabilitates animals from Canned and Captive-Bred Hunting situations. Many of the animals on the farm were raised in captivity, and are unable to sustain life in the wild. Some of these same animals stand as ambassadors for the farm's work against these immoral practices.
