What You Can Do » Send Your Support to Chuck Traisi and the Fund for Animals

In high-profile animal cases such as this, it is often easy to forget about the sacrifices made by the people involved. We must all remember that without the dedication and efforts made by the people behind the scenes, this wouldn't be possible.

Chuck Traisi of the Fund for Animals has been living in a hotel near Colton, California since May 22, 2003 while he oversees the care of the 54 big cats at Tiger Rescue. In addition to having seen his wife only once since the end of May, he has endured the heat, the frustration, and the emotional roller-coaster that encompasses this case.

At age 61, Traisi has made incredible sacrifices in his personal and professional life in order to take full responsibility for the welfare of both the cats and the volunteers involved. Chuck celebrated his birthday this year in the company of tigers and volunteers instead of family.

While in Colton, Chuck is somewhat closed-off from normal methods of communication, limited to only his cellular phone. Although he has an email address, he is unable to read or send email presently. As such, we invite you to submit your comments and support for the work he is doing at the Tiger Rescue using the form below. The comments submitted will be printed out and handed to Chuck for him to read. It is so important that we all take a moment to reach out and let him know how much we care and support what he's doing.
