    2022/11/07
    Who was this beautiful tabby? I drove to work today because I have an appointment with the the creative team at the mall about the space they are giving us.  I saw a cat in the road on Northbridge, so I pulled over to pick him up.  As I was digging around to find a bag and gloves (I carry for this specific purpose) I see a woman pull over on the other side of the road, where the cat laid.  She’s screaming at people to slow down because we live in a Latin neighborhood and even though the speed limit is 30 I swear they are usually doing 60 through there.  I don’t ever remember a time when someone else stopped to help.   She asked what I was going to do with the cat and I told her that I’m from Big Cat Rescue and that I’d see to it he was cremated with our other beloved cats who pass on.  She noticed that he looked like he’d just been hit, but he was in a huge pool of still wet blood and was definitely dead.  As I cradled him I noted how gorgeous his fur and what excellent condition he was in.  This was someone’s beloved pet and probably had just escaped.  He was an intact male, so I’m guessing nature called to him and he made a run for it.  He had no idea what to expect out here.  Tonight someone may well be calling his name, but he won’t respond and they will probably never know what happened.   Part of me thinks I should post his fate on a pole nearby, but part of me thinks that may be worse than not knowing.     Later in the day:  I sent this to Haley, Joyce and Patrick at the mall.   Great meeting you guys today and if helpful to your process, I'm happy to tour you around the sanctuary.  You can bring friends or family so you can observe how other's are impacted by the stories of the cats we've rescued.  My contact info is below and I'm here 7 days a week, so I usually only need a day's notice.   Our primary goal is to end cub petting, as that drives the vast majority of breeding, abusing and discarding of big cats.  None of the cats bred for this purpose serve any conservation value because they are all cross bred and inbred.  The latter is because of the public's fascination with white tigers which only comes from severe inbreeding.   The primary message we want to get across in this space is that cub petting, or paying to see cubs on display, is what is actually causing their extinction in the wild.  The cubs aren't taken from the wild.  They are all bred in captivity, but it is the glut of last year's cubs (about 200 per year conservatively) that stimulates demand for their parts, which results in more poaching for tigers in the wild.   This is our animated explainer video that cub petting is causing the extinction of the tiger: https://youtu.be/QFn8mwD757s   It's gotten about 15,000 views in the past 2 weeks on YouTube and 368,000 views on Facebook.  Reading the comments gives you some insight as to the effect it is having.  https://www.facebook.com/bigcatrescue/videos/2246856182261587/UzpfSTEwMDAxMjI3MTcxNDc1MTo2MjE0MzEzMjQ5NDI1ODY/?q=shocking%20truth%20about%20cub%20petting&epa=SEARCH_BOX   It's a tough message to get across without traumatizing animal lovers, but I think we've found the right balance in this piece to make the case.  Showcasing this video in a way that people can both see and hear it would make the best use of the space for our mission.   Our ultimate goal is that people stop paying to see and play with cubs so that places like Big Cat Rescue don't need to exist to clean up the mess.  Our federal bill will be re introduced soon as the Big Cat Public Safety Act, and I think it can pass this session.  It bans cub petting and private ownership of lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, cheetahs and cougars. That will fix 99.9% of the problem.  Getting people to call their member of Congress is where we are focusing most of our attention at BigCatAct.com and I mentioned that we can make one of the coupons that appears on people's phones, after watching the VidPicAR app video, be "Text CATS to 52886" and it sends people down that path to making the call, but dialing the number for them and giving them a script to say.  Try it and you'll see what I mean.   If you go to ARzoo.me it redirects to our page at https://bigcatrescue.org/ar-zoo/ where you can use the VidPicAR app to look at the images on the page and see the videos that pop up.  It also explains how revolutionary this concept is and makes you guys the leaders in bringing it to the Americas.  We have created these two posters, for our onsite gift shop, that are 24 inches high and 43 inches wide.  That seems to be a pretty good size for a person standing in front of the image to be able to observe the video, even if more than one person is trying to do so at the same time.  That 16:9 aspect ratio for the poster also coincides with the optimal size and shape of the video.   We'd like to have 12 interactive posters.  They all use the same VidPicAR app.  It just plays a ...

    Volunteer Appreciation Party Feb 2019

     

    This was an image from the Big Cat Briefing that I do daily for our Alexa app and for our website.  Mary Lou Geis  is talking with Howie and she’s most senior volunteer.  She’s been here 20 years.  This was the first party that was planned and hosted by our new Volunteer Appreciation Team.  Judging by the smiles and applause, I think the volunteers really liked this new approach.  I wasn’t sure it would go over well, because Jamie and I were handing off the appreciating to a team, instead of it being a party that she and I have to plan, host and clean up after four times a year.  Most of that falls to Jamie and she’s got so much to do that planning parties and putting on a happy face to volunteers has become a huge burden.  

     

    While we are both thankful for the 115 volunteers who do all of the animal care, both of us just can’t wait to pass our bill and see the numbers of big cats being bred for lives of abuse plummet.

     

    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.

    How Many Big Cats in the U.S.?

    In 2004 USDA published the first ever census of tigers in USDA facilities.  This did not include pets, and it was only tigers.  In 2004 there were 4,845 tigers in 666 USDA facilities.

     

    USDA never published another census, so from 2004 until 2019 the only way we could update the numbers was based on news stories where a census was mentioned, or from the websites or social posts of the owners.

     

    We are able to access some counts via ZIMS which is a product used by AZA accredited zoos and Big Cat Rescue.  The service costs $10,000 a year for managing medical records and the census, so it is not used by private owners or backyard zoos.

     

    This sheet represents 15 years of gathering census data and an intensive six month period of organizing it into the best representation possible of the number of big cats in the U.S.  The question on everyone's mind is: How many big cats are in the United States?  The answer is, we still don't know because unless a privately owned big cat makes the news, there is no accurate way to count them.

     

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_cwMh8PmdRUoYjEIN9EgXsVCATWL5Wo5KPKN1EVPzGY/edit?usp=sharing

     

    The totals as of January 2019 are, according to what we have been able to document in 814 facilities:

     

    Tiger   2642

    Lion    393

    Leopard 115

    Snow Leopard  168

    Clouded Leopard   100

    Jaguar  10

    Cheetah 347

    Cougar  277

    Bobcat  228

    Canada Lynx 69

    Caracal 35

    Fishing Cat 35

    Geoffroy Cat 3

    Jaguarundi  10

    Jungle Cat  1

    Margay  5

    Northern Lynx   22

    Ocelot  90

    Pallas Cat  46

    Sand Cat    32

    Serval  144

    Wildcat 8

    Black Footed Cat    37

    Hybrid  9

    Total cats we know of in cages in the U.S. in Jan of 2019 = 4,826
