The Elephant in the Room: The Truth About Animal Rights
In this mini documentary, elephant handler Patricia Zerbini gets interviewed about her elephants, their daily care, and the struggles of owning exotic animals such as battling the animal rights agenda.
Animal rights organizations such as PETA (People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals), The Humane Society of the United States, ASPCA, Animal Legal Defense Fund and countless more profit off of spreading lies and creating fake/staged footage, celebrity campaigns, and reckless protests instead of actually helping animals in need.

Welcome home to Williston, Florida! The Way Life Ought to Be.
**An American Heartland Small Town**Williston lies in the northeast corner of Levy county and represents a crossroads. An American heartland small town with approximate population of 2300 people, surrounded by a variety of working farms, later-day private homesteads and miles of scenic back-roads. The area attracts independent minded people from all over Florida as well as many new Floridians who want to put a little distance between their homes and the Interstate/shopping center/traffic jam scenes that so dominate our modern activities.
The area has many hidden treasures that make it a wonderful place to live and work, raise a family or retire. Locals take for granted the peace and quiet of the surroundings, the low crime rate, and the overall healthy, unpolluted environment.

Bearadise Ranch - PETA Makes False Accusations
Why is the news media helping PETA push their agenda?
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and their affiliated animal rights extremist groups like the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), have mastered the art of smear campaigns and fake news. PETA especially, uses the tactic of throwing mud up against the wall to see what will stick. One of the ways they do this is by letter writing on a massive scale and submitting endless press releases. The most recent unfounded and ridiculous attack by PETA targeted a friend of Protect The Harvest, the Welde Family and their wonderful program at Bearadise Ranch.
The latest ridiculous PETA Press Release:
PETA submitted their latest ridiculous press release full of false claims about Bearadise Ranch to news outlets in Florida. Unfortunately, ABC 7 Sarasota, publicized PETA’s false claims. ABC 7 even went so far as to allow a PETA representative on the air to demand that the Welde family “do the right thing” by turning over their bears to them. When did PETA become an expert on the care and welfare of bears? ABC 7 allowed the PETA representative to do this without any proof that the Welde family in any way had mistreated their bears.
We hope you took the opportunity to view our video so you can see how the bears live and the vehicles they are transported in when they travel to give educational presentations to the public. Then consider how horrible it is for the Welde family to have to endure these types of ideologic attacks by extremist groups on a public forum such as a newscast in their community.
Why doesn’t the news media understand the consequences of their actions?
We know that many who work in the news media industry love animals. We also know that they are concerned about wildlife conservation and understand the importance of educating the public about animals. What we can’t understand is why these very same people are giving a voice to animal rights organizations’ false and totally unfounded claims that are based solely on the animal rights extremist ideology. Why can’t the news media comprehend that these groups have the goal and agenda to end all human-animal interactions as well as animal ownership? Don’t they know that these groups make no distinctions, and that pets are included in their ideology too?
The news media needs to stop aiding these extremist groups in attacking the innocent. Its one thing to report the news based on facts and entirely something different to report false and unfounded accusations that severely impact innocent families.

spending two nights camping on a safari... it was AMAZING
Hi friends, welcome to this video.
*Please read the following information regarding this film*
My family and I stayed at a Safari Style B&B! It was incredible! The B&B is an extension of the Monterey Zoo in Salinas, CA called Vision Quest Ranch. The zoo is home to injured and retired animals. The incredible owner of this zoo has adopted all of the animals from other zoos, circuses, and even confiscated one of the cats that was being owned by someone as a pet! (Wild animals DO NOT make for good pets.)
These animals are extremely loved despite the fact that they live in a zoo. The zoo is mostly public, but the tours are guided and you can only freely walk in one section of the zoo for a limited amount of time. Those staying on the property in one of the bungalows, like my family and I just did, are given complimentary breakfast, a morning feeding of the elephants after your breakfast, and a complimentary tour of the zoo. Extra activities would be crunch time which is where you see us feeding the tigers and learning about them.
The tigers we were feeding could not be released into the wild for important reasons that mainly have to do with appearance and survival. The other activity would be putting the elephants to bed.
Every day around 3:30, some of the smaller animals are taken for their daily walks. These walks are done around the larger ranch area, where the bungalows happen to be. Due to this, guest are welcome to witness the walking of the animals and get some educational information on the animals.
All of the money that is put into paying for over night stays or activities all goes to the renovation and up keep on the zoo/ranch.
This place is in a constantly be worked on so that the animals are as comfortable as possible, and people have the opportunity to learn about the endangerment of some of these animals.
After speaking with some of the employees it seems to be a common interest that once the zoo is in the right state of being, they would be very interested in expanding into a program that releases new generations into the wild. Some of the animals here at the zoo are extremely engendered and it is extremely important that we have ambitious people and animal lovers willing to do what these employees talked about doing.
I have no affiliation or ties to the Monterey Zoo. If you would like to know more about the Zoo and Vision Quest Ranch click the link below.
All the information above is from information I gathered from people who work at the zoo.
Educate yourselves on our wildlife, and find ways to prevent promotion of animal cruelty and endangerment.
