Tribute to Shatia Canada Lynx
DOB 5/17/93-4/14/09 Arrived at Big Cat Rescue 6/26/93
Shatia came to Big Cat Rescue from a game farm in Ohio. She has Cardio-Myopathy, a heart condition, so she will never be as big and beautiful as the other Canadians, but she has a lovely disposition. Although declawed on all four paws, she can climb any tree by leaping up to the first branch and then climbing like a monkey, wrapping her oversized paws around each branch. She was raised in the house and has the best house manners of any exotic we've known, but she was moved to a pen with two other tame Canadian Lynxes when she came into her first heat in 1995 and began, as they all do, to spray bucket loads of urine on everything. She now lives in a huge pen next to Dances With Wolves. The pen has a magnificent old tree as its centerpiece!
We tried introducing them back together but they didn't get along and we had to separate them again. They seem to like each other best as neighbors, rather than room mates. Shatia died in her sleep at the age of 16 due to lung disease. Game farms are places where wild animals are bred to be used and killed. Please help us end these kinds of practices at CatLaws.com.
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.
