Animals in our sanctuary
Oak
Date of birth

Date taken in

Oak, together with four other nandoes, comes from a Dutch zoo. The zoo decided that the animals were not good enough as a crowd puller and chose to get rid of them. We regularly get stories of animals that are pushed aside by zoos because they prefer to show the bigger and more spectacular animals. The fate of these animals is often questionable: do they find a sanctuary where they are wanted or are they euthanized as a 'problem'?
