Reliability Notes
Self-reported tier. Capacity, acreage, and "largest" superlatives are the organization's own marketing language — useful for what Best Friends asserts, not independent proof of scale relative to other sanctuaries. Lodging and café references establish that hospitality exists; menu, hours, and ownership structure are not detailed here.
