Enraptured with raptors? Love lions? Protective of pelicans? Rob Laidlaw's latest has something for everyone. Having exposed the cruel treatment of animals in zoos and the entertainment industry with his previous two books, Rob Laidlaw sets out in Animal Sanctuaries and Rescue Centres to show a more positive side of the human-animal relationship: animal sanctuaries. From a donkey sanctuary in Canada to a bear rescue centre in China, this book examines numerous efforts around the world to rescue and care for animals in need.
I really enjoyed this book about different animals and different animal sanctuaries. I thought it was really well written and the layout of the book was very engaging. My favorite part of the book was when they talked about the tigers being sent to fake sanctuaries and also when they talked about the elephants moving to California. I remember my grandmother talking about those elephants when we went to the zoo one time. She said that the elephants would be more happy there. The book captured that issue perfectly.
