“Leave footprints of kindness for others to follow”
motto – Tierra de Animales
Ricardo Pimental operates a sanctuary in Cancun, Mexico called Tierra de Animales, that houses hundreds of animals. He recently went above and beyond for his animals during a category 4 hurricane. Back in October of this year, Delta bore down on the Yucatan peninsula and Ricardo’s animals were in jeopardy. His solution – bring them inside his home for the night! Approximately 300 dogs, several rabbits, chickens and even a hedgehog weathered the storm indoors, as a flock of sheep huddled on the house’s patio for protection. While I’m sure this isn’t normal protocol for such a situation, he knew it was the right thing to do. And, all animals survived, despite the beating the house took, thanks to Ricardo Pimental. So we raise a glass of lemonade in his honor today.
