G.W. EXOTIC ANIMAL PARK HAULS SCRAP METAL TO HELP THE ANIMALS

DECEMBER 1, 2011

Wynnewood, OK - With winter approaching, and still trying to recover from Oklahoma's devastating drought, the G.W. Exotic Animal Park has once again found it necessary to haul scrap metal to sustain the park and animals through the coming colder months.

Oklahoma's calamitous drought and sizzling heat this year, as well as skyrocketing gas prices, took its toll on the busy summer traffic the park usually sees. People couldn't bear the heat, so the normal crowds and funds to carry the park into winter never appeared.

Beginning Dec. 2, park staff will be picking up your metal, Junk cars, old appliances, etc. to haul in and pay the bills. Last winter, park staff hauled off old appliances, cars, scrap metal, and other items throughout South Central Oklahoma. Due to the overwhelming response and generosity of Oklahomans, the park was able to survive its worst time of year and still continue its work by rescuing over 40 more exotic animals. Due to changing laws across the Nation, the G.W. Exotic Animal Park is one of the only facilities accepting homeless exotics and is asking once again for the public help by donating their scrap metal.

The park is asking its friends and supporters to call and donate your scrap metal to help the animals. If you have metal and would like to help, please call the park office at 405-665-1003 and schedule a pickup. If you would like to help even more, the park will also generously accept any metal you want to deliver (please call first). All donations are 100% tax deductible and will help ensure the animals have everything they need this winter.

The G.W. Exotic Animal Park is a 501c3 non profit organization founded in memory of Garold Wayne (G.W.) Schreibvogel who was killed by a drunk driver. The park is dedicated to providing a permanent home and care for unwanted and abused exotic animals. In 2011 alone, the park took in more than 40 exotic animals that otherwise had no where else to go. The park currently cares for more than 1000 animals from over 100 species.

HOLD THAT TIGER: RESEARCH STUDIES CIRCUS TIGERS' BEHAVIOR AND ENVIRONMENT

NOVEMBER 14, 2010

COLLEGE STATION – If you were to ask Heath Nevill what he did on his summer vacation, he'd probably give you one of his quick smiles. And then he'd tell you that he spent his summer with the circus.

But not in the way you'd think. Nevill, who graduated in May from the department of animal science at Texas A&M University with a master's degree, spent the last two summers traveling with several major circuses in Virginia, New York, California and Texas, watching every movement of tigers and digging through their feces for data loggers to collect physiological information.

G.W. EXOTIC ANIMAL PARK RESPONDS TO DOCTORED PETA VIDEO FROM 2006

NOVEMBER 10, 2006

There have been a lot of questions and accusation since 2006 regarding a doctored PETA video claiming that our park and staff abuse our animals. This video has recently been blasted throughout the internet by a facility in Tampa, Florida that is also claiming we abuse our animals. Not only does this anger us, but it saddens us to think that anyone would think we would commit such atrocities.

The G.W. Exotic Animal Park was founded to protect and care for exotic animals that were found in abusive and dire situations, or were just no longer wanted by their owners. Some we have taken in from other facilities that could no longer afford to care for them.

If you have any question, please call 405-665-5197 or e-mail us at gwparkstaff@yahoo.com
