Motley Zoo halts lifesaving animal rescue services due to lack of donations during pandemic
Motley Zoo rehabilitates animals from around the world, and some pets they rescue are from meat farms.
REDMOND, Wash. - Local animal rescuers hope to reach people that have a spirit of giving this holiday season.
Motley Zoo Animal Rescue said donations for 2020 are down 80 percent compared to last year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The lack of funding has forced the nonprofit to halt lifesaving efforts for animals. Charities like ours, they still need help. The demands are actually higher now, said Jme Thomas, executive director of Motley Zoo.
