3:51 am
shown animals set to be put down. he decided he would try to find a home for them on his family farm and sent 300 letters to various zoos. he was inundated with requests. from that beginning, craig's sanctuaries have grown to over a combined 10,000 acres, protecting 20 different species, funded entirely by private donations. >> they're really going. >> yeah, that's -- that's not even full throttle. when they really go, it's -- that's him just kind of -- he's over there. he's not even standing up yet. he's taking it half serious. when they're serious, they'll stand up and they'll turn. and it's really cool when it's somewhat cold out because you see the breath coming out. it's really cool to see that. >> do you have a favorite animal? >> yes and no. it's kind of like your own children, you know? they all have their different
3:52 am
personalities. lions are very family-based. they love to be th they'rrygregus but then ters are very affectionate a different way but more like individuals. and each one is very endearing for their own reasons. >> reporter: many of the tigers we saw craig and his team took in after the abuses they endured were featured on the infamous netflix dock yew drama. >> my name is joe exotic. the only difference between my pet and your pet is mine have three-inch teeth. >> the tiger king brought so much attention to the issue of animals being mistreated. >> right. >> has that helped your cause? >> it has, you know. in the beginning, everybody was so shocked by it that we all kind of thought, well, maybe this is going to be a bad thing. my goal is always to reach more people, and obviously those shows and the timing of them with covid and all that, there was 70 million people saw it in the first few weeks it was out. so for me, it was 70 million
3:53 am
people that probably didn't know the problem existed. >> when you saw the show, what was your reaction? >> when we rescue animals, that's the people we see all the time. >> reporter: here in colorado, craig tries to do things the right way. he can never create conditions exactly like the wild, but it's close. >> oh, you're backing off, yeah. you know who's boss. not really. >> reporter: that includes an aversion to tourists. >> you have visitors here. >> mm-hmm. >> but reluctantly. >> yeah. i think that most people don't understand that all animals -- it doesn't matter if it's a turtle or a dog or a lion or tiger are territorial, and even people are territorial. so when people go to a zoo in the morning, before they get there, the animals are very calm. but when they come in, everybody comes in is a stranger, and that's a threat to them and their territory. so i knew that for us, if we ever opened to the public, i had to solve that problem. i didn't want the animals to have that pressure. and so that was when we came up
3:54 am
the idea for the elevated walkway because animals like this don't think of sky or air as territory. >> reporter: this is the longest elevated walk way in the world. >> the longest elevated walk way or foot bridge in the world. >> and most people who come here make the whole walk? >> yeah, it's three miles round trip. that's pretty good for a lot of people that haven't done a hike in quite a while. >> reporter: the first time we tried to interview craig, he got called away last-minute to rescue tigers coming in from guam. his teams also recently completed rescues in romania and ukraine. he still tries to save them all. >> we still turn down quite a few animals every year. >> is it tough for you to do that? >> oh, that's the hardest part is saying no, you know, because we're always working very hard to expand and do more for the animals. but there's definitely animals i have to say no to. >> if you weren't here, would these animals be dead or euthanized? >> every one of them, yeah. we're like the last resort for all these animals.
