We visited this today. I wish I had money to donate to help. They have 18 cats (6 lions, 8 tigers, 2 cougars, a bobcat and a black panther) and get 0 help from government or environmental agencies. I think the fact that the man that runs it has a bad stutter may have effected his ability to get money. Very intelligent and a very nice place. He takes immaculate care of these abused animals. It costs $1000 per month to feed and care for them. He charges people $5 for visits and he gets some local charity donations, and that is all.
I've always been a fan of Big Cats...you're one lucky guy, Dave!
What a wonderful organization...great website, too...God bless that man for taking care of his wonderful creatures.
These animals have been too domesticated by zoos and other previous owners for these to be able to survive in the wild. They have to have a caretaker. The above did cross my mind, though.
