- Big Cats- Conservation, Education, Exploitation?- Big Cat TV Time 2008-05-29 18:42
- 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 as an educational tool for conservation. 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. Don't throw your money away into an exotic pet trade that does nothing for the survival of the cats. All of the captive footage was taken in the past 6 weeks, 60 miles or less from our own gates. Some of it was filmed at the Florida State Fair's FWC exhibit were 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. Haven't we grown tired of seeing animals living in these conditions?For more about what you can do:www.bigcatrescue.org www.catlaws.com
