L-R Susan Bass, Howard Baskin, Carole Baskin and Carl Bass.
This was our annual gala called the Fur Ball. We met Susan when she was at The Dutcher Group. Later Howie ran into her husband Carl at the airport and arranged for us to reconnect, around 2011. Susan had left Dutcher and was working for Lazy Days RV Center, but left them and became our PR person.
Ares, Artemis and Orion
Ares, Artemis and Orion were only 3 weeks old when they arrived from Idaho, their mother having been shot by a hunter. They had to be fed every four hours and Scott and Liz and Jamie had many sleepless nights caring for them. Scott arranged for them to be flown in on Southwest Airlines in the cabin. It was wonderful publicity for Big Cat Rescue and its cause, as the captain even played "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" over the loudspeakers so that everyone could hear. Luckily, Scott drew a lot of attention with Ares and Artemis and drew attention away from Jamie who had Orion, because Orion at the time was having diarrhea which got all over Jamie. Artemis was Scott's favorite and Ares was Dr. Wynn's favorite and Orion was Jamie's favorite.
They had a very difficult time weaning the cubs from the bottle and would often get completely covered in the milk/meat mixture they were trying to administer to get them weaned. This went on for weeks and reflects their dedication in giving these animals the best life possible. Scott even set up a 1/2 door so that the volunteers could come and safely see the cubs being raised. Because of their dedication, Big Cat Rescue can continue to educate the public about how cougars are still being persecuted in the wild.

I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story. The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/
I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story. My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
