Nella with Garrit Pieters on his Amazing African Rescue Menagerie
Listen now
Description
If you love animals, you will love the devotion of Garrit Pieters. Not only does Garrit have a passion for his dogs - many of us can relate. He has a passion for his mongoose, his meerkats, his parrots. And his passion has translated into the most unlikely friendships. His mongoose curls up with the miniature doberman, the cat and the terrier. Sometimes the parrot joins. All of the animals - including something like 3000 fish -are rescued from abuse or from a less-than-perfectness from a breeder's perspective. They all live wild on the farm where Garrit's parents live, while he manages the wonderful Serra Cafema camp in Namibia. Our conversation goes in many directions and uncovers a very soulful man who is determined to help vulnerable animals however he can. Enjoy!
