Making the point that there are too many dogs and cats and therefore this should be an bigger priority is not valid and indeed it proves the point of this message. If we cannot as humans even manage to be responsible owners to domesticated animals that we are already over populated with then how on earth can we "own" as pets wild exotic creatures who are not at all domesticated and not meant to be "tamed" as pets at all. These animals in this rescue HAVE to live there because they cannot now be returned to the wild having been "owned" by people who probably had all good intentions but, sadly found out they could not handle being responsible for these big cats.
In "Conservation or cruelty" we take a 6 minute look at places and individuals that breed and exhibit large felines, many in the name of conservation. In the US, unaccredited road side zoos, pseudo sanctuaries and personal exhibits across the country that house lions, tigers and leopards are breeding them in countless numbers to attract the public.
We look at some that are open to the public and sadly probably rate around "average" of the facilities that we know of. You be the judge...is it conservation or cruelty?
*BCR proudly supports real conservation efforts in The Snow Leopard Trust, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and the Sumatran Tiger Trust to name a few. Even our own founder was fooled years ago into fake conservation; please don't let it happen to you.
