The Turpentine Creek Song By Larry Burton Crocker
Jaspar, a tiger living at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, gets habitat. He is very old and is now living his life in luxury.
Hi, here is a short summary of a photo shoot called: Photo Wild. It was at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. This is only PART of the shots, just a tiny sampling of what I got that morning. YOU NEVER TOUCH the cats. There is ALWAYS a fence between and a watchful gaurd by you. You can put you lens right up to the fence and get amazing shots without fencing in the photos. It is early morning and the cats are just being turned out for the day so they are active and inquisitive and anxious to run around marking their territory. This was really fun.
Male lions have a job and that is to protect their pride and territory. The females do most of the hunting. They are designed to roan, hunt and live free. Sadly this majestic wild animal has often been reduced to nothing more than a backyard cage ornament. It never works out well for the exotic cats. The lucky ones, like the ones in this vieo, end up at a sanctuary. Sanctuary facilites are burstingly over full. They need YOUR help to build more yards, feed these rescued wild animals and provide for their needs. Visit the websites in this video to see if there is something YOU can do to help.
This male African Lion is having a fit as his keeper tries to open his gate and let them out into their big yard. Can you imagine having this in your backyard? How many attacks can you find if you do an internet search? LOTS! Lions, Tigers, Leopards, Cougars, Bobcats and many other wild animals, exotic cats, are sadly kept in people's back yards. Most of them meet tragic fates in the end. This grumpy lion was one of the lucky few who was rescued by a sanctuary. A true sanctuary does not breed, do not buy, do not sell nor do they allow the public to pet the animals. Winter is coming fast, the costs in caring for these rescued lions, tigers, bears and more sky rockets in the winter.

Sierra the tigress enjoys a mid summer treat of a partially frozen raw chicken breast. Sierra has digestive problems, spine problems all because when she was a pet she was fed a diet of dog food. Tigers are not like dogs, they must have fresh red meat and lots of it. If they don't they do not delope properly. Someone had this tiger as a pet and didn't properly provide for her needs. Now she will live the rest of her life damaged because of it. Tigers do not belong as private pets. Sierra was rescued by Turpentine Creek and will live out her life there in retirement getting a special diet. She is joined by LOTS of tigers, lions, Cougars and more.
Tigers do NOT make good pets. Tigers do as tiger do when and where they choose. Why would anyone buy a cute baby tiger cub, know it will grow up to do this.......? I took this video at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge.
Meet Sadie the Bobcat. She lives at Turpentine reek Wildlife Refuge.
