“Oh My!” A gallery to benefit Lions, Tigers, and Bears

This gallery was created to raise money for Lions, Tigers, and Bears in Alpine, CA.  Derian has enjoyed his time photographing the big cats for the show and is excited to help raise the money needed for them to build a new bear enclosure. All proceeds from this gallery will be going back to the organization.

Lions Tigers & Bears is a federally and state licensed non-profit rescue facility dedicated to providing a safe haven for unwanted and abused exotic cats. They are one of only twelve Big Cat Sanctuaries in the US. They are a NO KILL, NO BREED, NO SELL rescue and educational facility that allows cats in their care the opportunity to live out their lives with dignity in a caring and safe environment. Their goal is to provide a safe haven to rescued cats and to educate the public about the growing population of abandoned and unwanted exotic animals and where they come from.

It is a traveling gallery that has been displayed for over 2 months in various locations in San Diego, CA,  and will continue to travel throughout 2011.
