Big cat lovers, take a look at this
Valley of the Kings Sanctuary: Dedicated to the Rescue and Refuge of Abused, Abandoned, Injured and Retired Exotic Animals

Not far from me, but I've never been there. I'm told its run by fundamentalist Christians. :shrug:

1. Their religion doesn't really matter here, does it?
They are doing good acts. That is all I require of any human being.

2. No it doesn't.
But it does give an example of people who believe this way and do good things but are NOT right wing nuts.

I'm told that farmers from all around the area bring animals that have had to be sacrificed to them for feeding the animls.

3. Good use of the carcasses!
And a tax write-off that is more attractive than selling them for rendering to a dog food plant, I am betting.

4. They could be Seventh Day Adventists
Definitely Fundies, but also vegetarians and animal lovers. Oh and theyre also very far to the left politically - which would be nice except they are forbidden to vote...

5. Where are you getting this infromation?
"Oh and theyre also very far to the left politically - which would be nice except they are forbidden to vote..."

I happen to live in the middle of a large Adventist community and I don't believe it's true--either part of the statement.
