Education

One blip on an Internet search engine or one glitzy movie trailer can undo all the effort that the IEAS puts forth to educating the mass populous that these animals are not only exotic in their looks but also in their inherent natures. They are and always will be 100% instinctive and totally uninhibited. Our commitment to education is an uphill battle, but the information we offer is genuine and presented in the best posture for both the safety of the animals and those of you who admire them.

AWARD

The American Association of Zookeepers, Inc. (AAZK) has honored the International

Exotic Animal Sanctuary with the Certificate of Merit for Zookeeper Education (CMZE). The CMZE was founded by Jeff Roberts, 1976-1978, to compliment the work of the AAZK Education Committee that had formed at that time. The purpose of the award is to recognize individuals, institutions and organizations in the zoological community most actively promoting educational programs for zookeepers. The Intern Program was founded in 2002. Since then, we have become one of the country's leading facilities for internships working with exotic cats. We would like to thank the AAZK for this prestigious award.
