A Call of the Wild, and a Plea of Help

We all know what it is like to care for animals at home, how we form this unique bond and develop a love that cannot really be described. For some, this is all they need. For others this connection goes beyond that of a pet. When we have the opportunity to be around some larger and more endangered wildlife there can be an entirely different experience that is more special. There are people that have an unspoken relationship with horses and then there are even those special individuals who develop a love for large exotic cats. While these two animals are completely different in appearance, there are people out there that treat these animals like they would their own children. Which is why it saddens us to hear that there are still people in this world who can be very cruel to these beautiful creatures.

We recently got word of an unfortunate incident involving two horses and a lion that took place in El Paso County, Colorado.
The lion, 'Zazu,' is a resident of the Serenity Springs Wildlife Center in Calhan, CO. Currently police believe there maybe a connection between the incidents. One of the horse deaths took place just a few houses down from the wildlife center; while the other was nearly 11 miles and a couple weeks apart. Authorities are currently investigating the case as well as following any leads that may come up. (Read the original article HERE)

After continuous vet care and weeks of recovery, Zazu is doing just fine. However, with vet bills escalating and funds running low, the kind folks over at Serenity Springs are asking for our help. This is something that is very close to our hearts and saddens us very much. We want to make people aware of the situation and ask that if you can, please donate to the Wildlife Center to help them.

We are all about giving back, and this is something that would mean a lot to us as well as the folks over at Serenity Springs. If you are able to contribute please click the "Donate" button at the end of this post. For more information on Serenity Springs, please click HERE.

On a more personal note, aside from my responsibilities as the Executive Producer of 'Mystifyed Live' I am also an exotic cat trainer here in Las Vegas. I've had the unique opportunity to work with some of the most incredible animals in the world. Also, as part of my duties, I've had the pleasure of working closely with Nick and Julie, the directors of the center. You won't find a more dedicated, passionate, and loving group of people anywhere else in the animal world. From the bottom of my heart I ask you to share, and spread the word. Serenity Springs and others like it around the world need our help to enable them to continue protecting these incredible species from extinction. If you're unable to donate, please join us in helping share this cause. 

 
Thank You,

Mike Olsen,
