Although, the Belize Zoo was originally founded as a retirement
home for old natural history "movie stars", the Zoo has
become a refuge and rehabilitation center for injured wildlife,
as well as a home for abused and abandoned "pets".
Because there is an abundance of wildlife in Belize, it
is very easy for people to acquire birds and animals which
they attempt to domesticate for their own personal pleasure.
But when people are unable to tame them, or when they grow
tired of their "pets", the Belize Zoo is always ready to
provide a new home for these orphans.
