The Wild Heart Ranch is in the process of raising more than $275,000 to purchase land, with which, they will do nothing.The acreage near the ranch's site is quiet, and Annette King, its founder, intends to keep it that way.King says wildlife has always gravitated to her.Im not afraid of them, that is the simple . its lack of fear, King said.Shes not afraid of much. Just two days before she spoke with 2 News she discovered the land was for sale.She felt that if she didnt buy it, someone else would develop it or use it for hunting, so she and her husband Daniel Hardt decided to buy it.King ponied up $5,000 of her own money, and has since raised nearly $180,000 from donors across the US and the world. Shes buying the land for $275,000.Were not gonna do anything with it, King said.The wildlife will get to enjoy it. Through this purchase shes ensuring no humans will take over. Humans, she says, cause most of the animals to end up at Wild Heart.
