    I agree with Boreas. have the refuge owners gone into details as to why they must remain in an enclosure?

    Been to this place, and it is more like a zoo. Wolves are treated like pet dogs than wild animals by the owner. Don’t even keep them wild. Fed like dogs are. Bears have a tiny enclosure, seems cruel. The bird cages and other wildlife enclosures looked filthy when I visited. Felt so sorry for those animals. The “refuge” actually received violations for “years of noncompliance” in 2020. There seems to be a local adoration with these “rehabilitators” but these folks should be investigated.
