Colorado Springs, Co (September 2, 2016) – Yesterday on the 1st of September, the Switchbacks took a trip that they’d always remember. Some of the front office staff were joined by forward Mike Seth and season ticket members Brittany and Tom Sharp on a tour through the Serenity Springs Wildlife center just outside of Colorado Springs.
The Serenity Springs Wildlife Center is a wonderful place for animal lovers to get a good close look at some of the biggest carnivores in the world. The center is an oasis for wild animals from all backgrounds: Tigers from Vegas, movie star lions, ligers, playful cubs, and even a few wolves.
Serenity Springs is an accredited facility of the USZA and has been functioning in Colorado Springs for a couple of years. Their mission is, through educational programs and community outreach, to “raise public awareness of the existence of large numbers or captive wildlife and the continuing need for sanctuary from exploitation, abuse and neglect.” To volunteer or schedule a tour go to www.serenityspringswildlife.org.
