We agreed to take two pairs of tigers from their situation.  One from Antle and one from ZAA leader, Tanganyika.
 
With Jamie’s approval, I told Bobbi Brink we would take the:
 
1 leopard
2 cougars
4 bobcats
1 Canada lynx
 
and amazingly the state of Florida issued an emergency permit, as Bobbi is loading them up as we speak in SD and it's snowing.  I told her we would cover the transport cost of 3.00 a mile, plus her hotels, etc. so that's probably about $7,000
 
FL & USDA require the cats arrive w/ health certificates, but it only has to be a visual by a vet saying they were breathing.  Bobbi is trying to get a vet out to Spirit of the Hills to issue one and I'm guessing will be on her way here first as we are probably most of her load.  She's taking a Serval and Jungle Cat back to CA with her from SD.
 
Let me know what kind of time table you are wanting on the four tigers and who I should list on the import permit as the person transferring them, ie: Turpentine or Serenity? address, phone, and the carrier.  FWC likes to have someone they can call to verify the origin.  Will that be Loving Friends or Bobbi?
 
In either event, FWC requires that I meet them at the FL / GA border and escort them in under my FWC permit.
 
For the cats,

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.
