Ccochahuasi+animal+sancuary

In 2007, the Ccochahuasi Animal sanctuary was built in the Sacred Valley of Peru. This sanctuary is a family run private organization. Most of the animals that reside in the sanctuary are endangered. Though some other animals that they helped have been mistreated, injured by poachers, or animals that are sick in general.

An example of an animal that is being held, is the Andean Condor. This bird is Peru's National symbol, but sadly it has become endangered. Farmers have said that the bird eats livestock, so it is common that they are killed to protect the farm animals. Though, the birds only eat animals that have already been dead. In extend they also get killed by poachers that take their highly valued feathers.

Then there’s also a Peruvian hairless dog. This breed is very special in Peru because it is thought that they date back to pre-Inca civilization. The dog is very rare and is estimated that there are only about 1,000 dogs left in existance worldwide. Some characteristics that make this dog extremely special is it has long Toes, webbed feet, and it is very quick.

In conclusion, the Ccochahuasi animal sanctuary have demonstrated that animals do need love and care just like with any human being. Also they've demonstrated that education is spread by using a helping hand. In extend, children should learn at an early age how to care for one another and this sanctuary can really help with that.
