Since Dr. Westhill left the country in 1941, the Center has been funded solely through a foundation he started. The staff has grown ten-fold, and the scope of the Center's work has continued to expand. I wish you could see some of these critters and the way they carry on. It's amazing how fast they can come around when they need to. The Center has been able to retain and adhere to the spirit of his work while utilizing the latest technology and legal practices.
All species are equal here.
We all pull our own weight. Dr. Franklin Westhill was born in New York City in 1902. As a child he often roamed the streets of the city observing interactions between animals and humans. The basis for his theories were formed early on as he spent long hours at the park. He knew there was an untapped potential in those small animal minds.
