Selah Bentley (9) enjoys spending time working with animals through Santa Barbara Party Animals, in which she’s learned to be considerate of others and her environment. Her involvement at this petting zoo stems from her passion for animals, which began at a young age. “I’ve loved animals since I was a little kid,” Selah said. “I felt I could hang out with them more than people.” Selah also enjoys a wide array of activities, such as watching movies and swimming.
