Law Enforcement
Today I wrote this to our volunteers and added it to the Vox automated tour:
Big Cat Rescue gets no funding from the government, but often steps in to help government agencies.
When states pass laws to ban the private possession of big cats, they always include a grandfather clause that allows the people who have big cats to keep them, but doesn't allow them to buy or breed more. There is usually a requirement that people register their big cats with the state, when such a law is passed, so that the state knows if the person is compliant.
When people refuse to comply with new laws the state will sometimes seize the animals, if they think the public is at risk. That often results in years of legal battles between the state and the lawbreakers who use wild animals in their money making schemes.
State law enforcement agencies are not equipped to provide years of care to animals that can cost thousands of dollars per year in food and vet care alone. That's when they call on Big Cat Rescue.
We will provide the best care and environment the cats have ever known, during the long court cases, and we do it for free. Once the state wins, the cats are relinquished to our permanent care by the state that seized them.
Sometimes we cannot tell you the name or the horrific stories of abuse that these animals have suffered until after the last appeals court has ruled in favor of the state.
For the protection of the cats, from the criminals who would often, rather see them dead than living the good life at Big Cat Rescue, we must ask that you not take photos, videos or talk about some specific animals if your guide indicates that they are in the Big Cat Witness Protection Program.

Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and 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.
You can help feed the cats at no cost to you using Amazon Smile!
