located at 1426 W 300 N in Albion and
is home to a mix of 90 big cats, bears,
primates, birds, reptiles and more.
According to the executive director of
Black Pine, Lori Gagan, Black Pine is a
Professional Animal Retirement Center (PARC). Black Pine’s animal population includes tigers, leopards, lions,
cougars, servals, wolves, foxes, bears,
monkeys, birds, reptiles, and more.
About 70% of the animals residing at
Black Pine were kept as “pets” in private homes and were surrendered when
they grew too large, too aggressive, or
were otherwise not suitable to be kept
in a home. The remaining 30% were
confiscated or recovered by animal
control agencies, many of them kept illegally. As a true sanctuary, Black Pine
does not buy, sell, trade, or breed animals, or use them for entertainment.
Sanctuary tours cost $7 to $12 per
person depending on age and the type
