This is a Captain S spin on a classic commercial. Music covered by Glenn Case.
Jon Bansen believes that since he converted his farm over to being organic and sustainable, he has become a much better farmer, and built a better business. In this story, there may be important lessons for both farmers and the American Public.
Being a hero for the animals is a 24-7 responsibility. And it can be a lot of fun as well! In this off beat video we see three examples of what it takes to do right for the animals. In the first part we take at look at what happens when our long time manager Scott tries to go off grounds for just a second. His path crosses with a bird in need and returns to the sanctuary to become the “snake bird’s” hero. The second part is a quick look at the “Bearcat” and its being included in our great operant conditioning program full of animal heroes. And the video closes with a look at two local boys who saved some kittens from sure death by going into a sewer drain and getting them out! It is never a dull moment around here, that is for sure, Thank you for watching our videos and remember to be a hero for the animals! www.bigcatrescue.org

Trent Reznor - China Dog and Cat Fur Farm Investigation
TRENT REZNOR TALKS ABOUT CAT & DOG FUR FARMS
The current situations with cougars (mountain lions etc…) are interesting. You could be a Florida Panther, which are protected and slowly heading towards extinction (as many are hit by vehicles each year due to a huge population growth in Florida), or you could be a western puma and legally hunted in states like Oregon for a $10.00 fee. The cougars we mostly hear about are those that are people’s former pets. We get calls all the time where people went out and bought a cute fluffy cougar cub only to realize that like all animals, they grew up. Our “cubs” were sent here around 2 years ago after their mother was shot in the wilderness. A lot of you have been asking how they are doing, and this video taken at feeding time on whole prey night, will give you the chance to see that they have grown up. Thank you for watching. www.bigcatrescue.org

Welcome to another edition of Big Cat Rescue’s species spotlight. In this episode we look at a lesser cat called the Caracal. Their name is taken from a Turkish word that means “black ear.” The Caracal is known best for its large black ears that it uses for its great hunting ability. The Caracal roams the grasslands and open plains from Africa through the Middle East. While its numbers are holding in Africa, we see populations becoming extinct in India due to farming and the unrestricted manufacturing of charcoal from the wild weeds, especially in the Banni grasslands. By supporting animal conservation in these areas we can help save the land for the Caracals and other wildlife. Captive Caracals in the US suffer from people trying to keep them as pets, as well as trying to crossbreed them with domestic cats for the pet trade.

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
Follow us as we take to the road to talk to a man that claims to have heard a Florida panther far north of its current habitat. Is Florida really ready to limit growth and set aside enough land for its state animal? Is the Florida panther trying to make a come back, and will there be enough room for it to do so? We all hope so. But with its numbers only around or less than 100 and with the high amount that are killed by vehicles on the road, things donât look good. And just where is all the money raised to help save this animal and the Everglades going? For more feline info: 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.
