Jerry the crocodile's owners approached BLES a few weeks ago, hoping to re-home their six-foot long Siamese Crocodile. Since seeing his bleak, barren enclosure for myself, I have been determined to turn his life around. 

Jerry was given as a gift to the head of a neighbouring village over four years ago. He has been sitting, day after day, in murky water, waiting for his weekly meal of a single, live catfish to be tossed into his space. 

After corresponding with welfare and conservation organizations, it seems like an animal in Jerry's position would be destined to be used for research, breeding, tourism, or to be transferred to a goverment holding facility where we can not guarantee an improved environment. 

The decision has been made to move him to Boon Lott's Elephant Sanctuary - BLES, where he will have an enclosure that offers everything he needs to live out the rest of his life in peace.

Building this space can not begin until we have the adequate funds to pay for the materials and labour. Every donation brings Jerry closer to the day he can say goodbye to his concrete cell. 

I will be blogging Jerry's story and eventual rescue. You can read the first entry here:

Thank you for reading, sharing, and donating! Together we will see Jerry find a forever home at BLES!
