Meet four tigers rescued from Savage Kingdom by Big Cat Rescue.
Watch Big Cat Rescue save four tigers from being killed at Robert Baudy's Savage Kingdom after he was shut down by USDA for killings, maulings and escapes.
A common misconception that people seem to have is that a tiger in captivity is tame or that they are friendly. Working with Tigers is a pod cast in which we go along side with Big Cat Rescue animal caretaker Brian, as he explains a little on what itâs like to work around tigers. Like people, tigers each have their own unique personalities. In this pod cast we will learn just how extreme some can be. Tigers are a very beautiful but deadly animal that are being wiped off our planet at an alarming rate. For more information on tigers and other felines go to: www.bigcatrescue.org
Far too many exotic cats are in private hands where they are doing nothing for the conservation of the species. These pets are often exhibited in public under the guise of education. These cats are exploited for photo ops when they are cubs and discarded to horrible unaccredited pseudo sanctuaries or roadside zoos when they are adults. The real way to save these great cats is to preserve habitat. Do not throw your money away into an exotic pet trade that does nothing for the survival of the cats. All of the footage was taken in the first couple of weeks in 2007, 60 miles or less from our own gates. Some of it was filmed at the Florida State Fair FWC exhibit where people watched the pacing animals (borrowed from a local pet owner) in their tiny exhibit cages. No one spoke to the children about real conservation, and nothing was learned. We all have grown tired of seeing animals living in these conditions.

Watch as we let Joseph and his pride of another lion and two tigers into their new large enclosure. These cats have been settling in since October and getting use to their new life here at Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Florida. Sadly, there are still at least hundreds of cats like them out there in the U.S. Some states have little or no laws regarding ownership of big cats. And those that have tough laws lack the abilities to enforce them. Few people realize the small amount that eventually find a decent home at one of the few good rescues/sanctuaries out there still take away resources that could be spent on saving these animals and their habitats out in the wild. www.bigcatrescue.org Thanks again to those that helped us from the Wild Animal Orphanage (Texas), Columbus Zoo, Humane Society of Ohio, Knox County Ohio, IFAW, & to our wonderful volunteers and supporters who made this all possible.
The Amur leopard is in a very tough spot right now, and those that are trying to save this species need your help! At BCR we are trying to make every cats life mean something, so we are using our captive animals as spokespeople for their wild cousins. Please check out www.amur-leopard.org. Together we CAN make a difference. Thank you. www.bigcatrescue.org

Siberian Tiger Conservation Foundation Expose
Tigers in your neighbor's backyard are still a problem in the US. Watch what these reporters discovered about Diana McCourt's Siberian Tiger Conservation Foundation.
Help Big Cat Rescue save the lions and tigers left behind by the Siberian Tiger Conservation Association after it was shut down by USDA and concerned citizens.
Shere Khan is a Siberian/Bengal cross breed and was one of the hundreds of unwanted golden cubs that result from breeding for the white colouration. Because he was born the wrong colour he could not be sold and by the time he was four months old he was pressed against every side of the pet carrier that had been his home since birth. Up to his belly in feces and old food, his baby teeth had rotted through his face from the lack of a proper diet. He could only drag his back legs when he was taken in by Big Cat Rescue. Now thanks to the loving care of staff and volunteers you can see he is more than 700 pounds of very healthy tiger.
