Mi experiencia en el refugio fue todo un aprendizaje. No solo conecté con la cultura local, sino que me dí cuenta de la problemática actual del tráfico ilegal de animales y de su uso como mascotas, objetos, atracciones turísticas, etc. Gudrun me ha enseñado a luchar por los animales y aprender de ellos. Gracias!
