Because We Matter: Transparency in Exotic Animal Care: Follow This Story.
Could a Move Mean More Animals Saved? Exploring Possibilities with a Wildlife Organization
On this episode of Exploring Washington State, host Scott Cowan talks to Ashley Carr, the executive director of Because We Matter. This organization began as an anti-drug and alcohol program but has now transitioned to wildlife education.
The organization joins Airbnb's experiences tab, becoming the #1 experience in Seattle and globally within two months. However, due to a lack of permits, they face the risk of having to euthanize 60% to 80% of their animals.
Ashley shares the organization's philosophy of respecting animals and how they handle rescuing and rehabilitating them. Additionally, the episode discusses how viewers can support the organization and the importance of transparency in the exotic animal world. Also, the speaker shares their story of providing food for mule deer during the winter, and the host asks if their ability to move can allow the organization to expand and take care of more animals.
