Jungle Reef Stands by Its Commitment to Animal Care Amid Misleading Reports
El Paso, TX - Jungle Reef is committed to providing a high standard of care for every animal at its facility. Each species receives appropriate nourishment, shelter, space, enrichment, and attention intended to support both physical and emotional well-being.
The organization works with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and treats inspections or identified concerns as opportunities for prompt correction and continued improvement. Isolated incidents are addressed directly, including additional training, procedural reviews, and disciplinary action when warranted.
Jungle Reef maintains that reports portraying isolated issues as routine neglect do not reflect its broader animal-care program, conservation work, rescue efforts, or partnerships. Its stated focus remains providing a safe environment for animals and an educational experience for visiting families.
Guests are invited to visit, learn about the animals, and see the facility’s care and enrichment practices firsthand.
