ATTENTION: WAP (World Animal Protection)

Cango Wildlife Ranch has been in operation for over 34 years, under the current ownership, with the primary focus of premium animal care and public education. Our driving force remains our conservation efforts, research, rehabilitation and public awareness. However, based on the document released, there seems to be a grave misunderstanding of what we do and in turn, enormous and irresponsible accusations that could impact our facility, and the credible work that we do, both for our animals and in our community. The ‘report’ concerning Cango Wildlife Ranch is reckless, libellous and unfounded and it is completely outrageous that we have been lumped with performance/entertainment centres, with no credibility what-so-ever, and that it has been published as such.

Never underestimate the power of a woman!

In 2011, Liz, a female Nile Crocodile still residing at Cango Wildlife Ranch, had a series of painful operations lasting eight hours to remove a Coca-Cola can from her stomach - and lives to prove that she is a survivor!

World Animal Protection (WAP) this week launched a public action campaign against WAZA regarding visitor interactions in zoos and aquariums, "urging WAZA to lead the way by offering clear animal welfare guidelines... and monitor and actively work with members to ensure they do not offer cruel and demeaning shows and activities." More information on the campaign as well as WAP's report can be read here: https://www.worldanimalprotection.org/take-action/waza

Below is WAZA's public statement in response to the campaign:

Despite volumes of data currently available on mankind, it is surprising how little we know about other species. A paper published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) – using data recorded by Cango Wildlife Ranch in collaboration with other zoos and aquariums worldwide - confirms that critical information, such as fertility and survival rates, is missing from global data for more than 98 percent of known species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.

With World Endangered Species Day in the air, we thought we'd honor our endangered animals.
