Our Recent Adventures
CARNIVORE PRESERVATION TRUST
Here are a couple of pictures from PVSA’s latest trip to the Carnivore Preservation Trust in Pittsboro, NC, where we volunteered helping build an enclosure for a newcomer pair of tigers, fix leaking pipes, and build a roof for another animal’s shelter. We also took a tour of the 55-acre facility and met the big cats!
