APPROACH AND SOURCES
Know the sources.
Understand the limits.
Useful reading helps people find their way and makes its supporting information identifiable. Respect for animals also begins with care for words.
Experience and knowledge in dialogue.
Sanctuary observations describe what we have seen in a specific context. They are valuable for raising questions and improving choices, but do not, on their own, establish a rule valid for every animal or environment.
Follow the sources.
Our articles refer to institutional documents, manuals and publications. You can consult them to explore the subject, understand its context and distinguish a documented fact from a project objective.
Know when to ask for help.
Public education offers tools for understanding: it does not allow a diagnosis or resolve the legal status of an individual animal. For health, treatment and specific requirements, consult competent professionals and authorities.
Your feedback can improve an article.
If you find an unclear passage or a source that needs updating, write to us identifying the page and the point to explore. Careful dialogue is a way to participate in the mission.
