Big Cat Rescue

Carole Baskin talks about the Big Cat Coalition.  More about the Big Cat Coalition here:  http://bigcatrescue.org/big-cat-coalition/

Julie Bindas author of Thy Kingdom Come talks with Carole Baskin about herbal remedies, shamanism and the differences in captive and wild cats.  Like me, Julie’s mind is usually far ahead of her lips, so you may notice some words missing from sentences, or malapropisms, so it is clear that she just can’t say the words as fast as they come to her.

Note:  Carole Baskin and Big Cat Rescue DO NOT recommend that human / wild animal connections be made via touch.  We believe that the ability to converse with wild animals without touch is the safest and most respectful manner of communication.

Justine Mikolaitis talks with Carole Baskin about about what “Animal Law” means to her.  We will discuss the very first case that she filed, currently pending in Miami-Dade Circuit Court which is a “gross negligence” case, seeking non-economic damages as a result of the loss of a companion canine (i.e., dog).

We will discuss “why “gross negligence,” as opposed to “veterinary negligence”, what non economic damages are and the topic of property law and dogs.  

We will also touch on “service animals” and “emotional support animals” and the difference between a “service animal” and “emotional support animal” and how they are treated under the law.

There is a lot to cover, but we also hope to discuss “pet trusts” so this is an episode of Cat Chat that you won't want to miss.
