I had a similar experience. My group believed we would see bovine and herd animals and some birds due to the way it was advertised. We were shocked to see big cats and wolves kept in what looked like dog-run sized kennels and some bears that had more space than the other large predators but their areas looked sadly dirty.

I won't ever go back.

Northwest Trek is the best wildlife of Washington sanctuary. All the large herbivores roam free in a large preserve. All of the animals have natural habitats or as close as they can be. You can go anytime of the year and you will see something new each season.

I grew up in Clallam county and never wanted to go after seeing a video a friend showed me of her visit when I was in high school back in 2011. Now that I'm living over in the metro Seattle area I warn people away from going whenever I can. Those poor animals have been neglected and mistreated for far too long.

Yeah, I was kind of confused by what exactly was going on just reading the brochure. My gut told me something was off but I had an afternoon to kill. definitely made me feel weird.
