2017-12-14 Carole Baskin’s Diary
I reached for Howard’s liqueur
Yesterday was busy from start to finish. We welcomed Manny Jaguar (Jamie’s soulmate) and Nat the Amur Leopard. Shane Brown and David Reynolds from Virtual Marketing 360 came and captured drone footage, and lots of 360 footage to show us what they can do in our budding partnership.
As soon as the cats were safely moved into their new homes, Phyllis, our 80+ year old volunteer, radios that there was a white, fluffy something in Zucari Serval’s cage that looked like it was dying. Afton and I removed an albino raccoon that was drooling and snapping at the air. We will send it off for rabies testing, but the last two raccoons turned out to be positive for Canine Distemper, which is deadly to cats and for which there is no vaccine.
Canine Distemper wiped out most of the big cats at In Sync Exotics in Wylie, TX a few years back and decimated lion, leopard and cheetah populations in the wild circa 2004 maybe. Zucari will be placed under quarantine, but these raccoons fit through the cage wire and travel across the roofs, dropping their deadly feces into the cages. I am beyond freaked out about this.
Later, I got a call about an injured bobcat, but he’s living across the Alafia River from the woman and can hunt, so there’s no chance I can net him. She will keep an eye on him. I was really glad I didn’t have to go running out into the night tonight.
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. These are my views and opinions. 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.
