Editorial standards

A clear line between fact and reconstruction.

These standards explain how we research, reconstruct, label, attribute, and correct our animal rescue stories.

01 · Evidence

Sources and attribution

Every story should identify the material supporting its factual core. Sources may include official rescue-center reports, volunteer or owner accounts, established news coverage, and wildlife resources. A link does not imply endorsement or affiliation.

02 · Tools

AI-assisted visual reconstructions

Some videos use AI-assisted images or video to visualize reported events. These scenes are creative reconstructions, not original rescue footage. AI is used within a human-directed process involving research, scriptwriting, scene planning, selection, narration, and manual editing.

03 · Welfare

Animals come before content

  • We do not stage rescues or place animals in danger.
  • We do not encourage viewers to handle wildlife without professional guidance.
  • Graphic suffering is not included solely to shock viewers.
  • Qualified rescue resources are linked where practical.
04 · Accountability

Corrections

If a reliable source shows that a material fact, contact detail, attribution, or link is incorrect, we review and correct the page. Send corrections to admin@savinganimalcenters.help.

05 · Independence

Directory policy

The directory is an independent informational resource. Inclusion does not imply partnership, accreditation, endorsement, or real-time availability. Visitors must confirm services, permits, hours, and intake requirements directly with each organization.
