He had been found wondering the streets of Newcastle Upon Tyne by the police and moved in with myself a week later.<\/p>\n
The RSPCA watched how he befriended and interacted\u00a0 with all the other animals and commented on how it was like Saviours haven…\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Hence the name.<\/p>\n
It all began when I decided to break into cabaret. On my first summer season I had a few pets in my caravan and was told that I had to get rid of them, I lied and said the animals were part of my act and sought the advice of the RSPCA (R<\/strong>oyal S<\/strong>ociety for the P<\/strong>rotection of C<\/strong>ruelty to A<\/strong>nimals) inspectors.<\/p>\n Together we devised some animal friendly illusions and the act took off in an educational direction.<\/p>\n For over 20 years I toured the country as ‘Steve Lucock and Snotty the Rabbit’\u00a0 (a comedy green rabbit puppet) and my animal magic show.<\/p>\n As an illusion show ‘Animalgique’ I worked and supported some of the biggest names in sho Most of the programmes mentioned\u00a0 that the animals were rescued\u00a0 and people started to leave their unwanted pets on my doorstep.<\/p>\n At one time I had over 160 animals, No one could take any off me without them being ‘put to sleep’ so I kept them all.<\/p>\n With so many animals to look after, I had to stop touring the country and with the help of the RSPCA I put together an Animal Interactive Show to teach people how to care and look after animals and to point out why certain animals should not be pets<\/p>\n This year I hope to get enough funds via the many books I\u2019ve written \u2018Zante Fox And Friends\u2019 bedtime story collection and Christmas books to open a larger sanctuary, which will enable me to rescue more creatures and give them a loving forever home which they truly all deserve. I also have a website at zantefox.com<\/p>\n Also i would like to add that all the various animals in my care are seen and thought of as family, I do my very best to give them everything that they need, As well as all the love they could wish for.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi, this is Steve, Thank you for visiting this site.
