Carole Baskin will speak to your animal rescue group for free.
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

Big Cat Rescue -In Between Tours" tiger fishing cat etc...
I often wish people could see all the crazy little things our cats do in between tour times out here. Last Monday in between the 9am and 3pm tours, I saw our tiger go after a turtle, our fishing cat actually fish and get one of his pet fish, and our small, rare and seldom seen Geoffroy (a.k.a. Geoffreyâ) cat come out for enrichment. And there still is more to see. So take a look at this glimpse of what happens "In Between Tours." For more info about felines: www.bigcatrescue.org

Carole Baskin, Founder of Big Cat Rescue talks about the sanctuary.
When a long time feline breeding compound was closed down, the resident cats there needed a place to call home. Even though there are so many unwanted adult captive tigers in the U.S. some of the facilities that took the animals would use them for breeders (Even though none of them have the genes needed in the Tiger Species Survival Program) or put them right back up for sale onto the exotic animal market. Big Cat Rescue got the call that the last 4 tigers left were to be put down if no one picked them up in a few days. Maybe they were left because they weren't white tigers, or in perfect shape, but Big Cat Rescue didn't care. BCR quickly pulled together its resources and drove up and got the last 4 on what was to be their final day. The tigers now have a place to call home in an accredited Florida animal sanctuary to live out their final years with the respect that they deserve. For more info on how you can help put an end to all these unwanted exotic cats please visit: www.bigcatrescue.org

Big Cat Rescue Founder, Carole Baskin talks about what it means to run a sanctuary for big cats and what she would have done differently.
So many times we get asked why we get our endangered animals fixed?...well, in this video we address that subject. In short- believe it or not, there are more captive tigers than wild tigers and that is something we do not like. The cats we get fixed serve no purpose for the future of their species (not a part of the SSP) other than educating the public. We do tours of our facility and educate the public about captive and wild tigers and we send funds to tiger conservation projects overseas. We hope that one day the problem of people owning and breeding tigers as pets will be a thing of the past. To learn more about what you can do to keep people from owning tigers as well as what you can do to keep the tigers in the wild safe go to: www.bigcatrescue.org Together we can put the emphasis and our resources back into keeping the tiger in the wild.
