HES TELLING A STORY ABOUT EARTH AND MARS. THE RED BALL IS MARS AND THE BLUE BALL IS EARTH. HES SAYING THAT THERE WAS A WAR ON MARS. HE SAYING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AT WAR WITH MARS. THEY LEFT MARS BECUZ IT WAS TOO HOT! SO THEY WENT TO EARTH AND NOW EARTH IS GETTING TOO HOT BECUZ OF GLOBAL WARMING.
he's silly =) glad to hear he got a larger encloser. sucks that he has to be there but im assuming he was either a rescue or born in captivity =/ they're beautiful though, hurray tigers!
Damn you guys gotta keep him up like that, most tigers in captivity are like twice as skinny seen in the youtube videos. Respect to you guys. And respect to hercules. Damn he looks tough! :D
When santuaries say "you can adopt this Big Cat." what exactly is that? I know it probly doesn't mean take the cat home and let it live with you, but is it like a sponsorship that you give torwards his health and benefit?
Just to straighten up one thing I read on here. Someone said they should be released into the wild. I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think Hercules was fed dog food by his previous owner that gave him up to TCWR. Which means he was under-developed. See how his back legs are weak.
These cats are well taken care of, fed fresh meat daily. And everytime I have been there they are constantly trying to build new habitat but just cannot keep up, lack of funds and getting more animals constantly.
then why don't you donate so they can make that big cage, Im sure they would love too but ass holes think these are pets and then end up at places like this and people complain that they are in small cages and yet do nothing to help
The owners and operators are really a great group of people, I have been able to go to this refuge all they way back to its grand opening and really have loved to see just how well along it has come over the years. I am just a stones throw away from it and can remember my school taking a field trip there when they opened back in 1992 when i was in the 2nd grade. I've been to both TC and BCR and will have to agree with you.
TheTornadoChaser, These are the ONLY two sanctuaries I support. And yes you are so right TCWR has came a long way and the owners are super. Each time I go I am amazed at how many more cats have moved to big yards. They are working hard and constantly moving forward. BCR changed my life and IS my life, and I wish I had more time for volunteering at TCWR too, because their work deserves more manpower.
This place is a rescue that has rescued animals from abusive situations. Unfortunately rescuing animals like these is an expensive task. But you are right I too like to see animals with grass instead concrete but these places rely soley on donations, we have to work hard so animals like these do not need to be rescued in the first place.
The do have several very large natural earth habitats, but the rate of cats they receive, coupled with costs to expand out pace the ability to build newer ones, thus some cats are temporarily placed in smaller cells which is unfortunate but it is a better alternative than to having the animals put to sleep as what most likely happened if they were not rescued. Coincidentally this place is just up the road from me by an hour or so.
DreamerM, that was a tempory holding pen for him. he now has a big yard, a den, trees, grass, shade, sun, water to play in and yes even more balls to attack.
he should be released in the wild. he needs to be shipped back to india or china, and then released in one of the jungles there. he shouldn't get any kind of interference in his life from humans.
yea, he wont get sick or shot by poachers in the jungle. look hippy, do you want it to be wild or do youw ant it to be safe? im sure the tiger would rather just BE than be dead
Freakinout2006, drop me a private message and I'll send you some links to games, puzzles etc your and your kiddos can enjoy. (all made with big cat photos)
Yes, private people can adopt Hercules. Adopt does not mean take him home. He means you contribute to his care and become his 'parent' that way. You get a photograph, a certificate and stuff. He stays there, though. Adopting him heps raise funds to build him and others big yards instead of cages.
Ok, where does he live? United states? It's to long away for me, I live in north europe... And also I think I'm to young, 16. But I love tigers and would like to take care of one if I could.
agreed this animal should no be in a cage!!!!!! no animal should be anywhere. goddam world is fuked up. i hate to see what humans do to animals for thier own entertainment. you tube sucks for allowing this kinda vidoe to be posted. i hate it here. im here to spread the word.
This animal was rescued from a bad place. He is now in a good place and is finally finding some peace in his life. He loves his toys. Being in the wild would be best, but simply is not possible. So a Good True sanctuary is next best.
420smokeymspot, These great animals should live free. Sadly though, when they have been bred in captivity and sold thru the exotic pet trade they are stuck the rest of their lives living in cages. So it needs to be in large grassy naturalistic habitat style enclosures. TCWR is working toward building one for each cat. YOU can help. Message me.
What a beautiful creature and how sad that some breeder out there disregarded the fact that tigers can feel pain, boredom, fear, etc. At least the sanctuary is there to help. I've seen other videos by Ms. Jones that feature the sanctuary and they are doing good work.
Thank you very much!! Visit Turpentine Creek and see the video of the Kenny & Willie new habitat opening. I shot part of that footage and Scott put it with his and made an awesome video. I am privileged to support two awesome exotic cat rescue facilities and it is the best fun. I have the best job on earth!
Vermin8865, Thank you for your comment. It is sad that private breeders house the animals in cruel small filthy cages inbred & sell to unqualified individuals without any regard for the well being of the animal or the families who get them. Shame on our legislative bodies and fellow Americans for allowing it to continue. Thank God for Big Cat Rescue & Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge who are out there educating the public & caring for all these unwanted, abandoned & abused exotic animals.
By the way, you can go to SanctuarySupplies dot com and do a search for Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge and purchase more of those balls and sun shades and they will ship them directly to Turpentine Creek for you.
rdpayne, good comment, but you were not very nice to her either. Your comments were pretty mean to her even though you didn't cuss. The points ARE: Exotic cats should not be pets & wilderness habitats need saved. We all agree on that. By working toward bigger yards for this sanctuary & saving habitats in the wild to save the cats in the wild & ending private people from owning these cats in tiny cages. We all want freedom for the cats & better conditions for those who can't be free.
Unfortunately cats born and raised in captivity can't be turned loose in the wild as they would not have the skills to survive. The best they can hope for is a sanctuary with a big yard, good food and enrichement. I support two such facilities, this cat is at one of those. Again you can donate to help build a HUGE habitat yard for this cat and others. They have the land and just need more materials.
This facility did not breed this cat, they did not buy him. They rescued him from a private owner where he had a cage just big enough to stand up and turn around in, which is all law allows. We ALL need to fght for better laws. ALSO, the sanctuary where e now lives is trying to build a HUGE habitat yard for him, YOU CAN HELP by donating to the habitat materials fund. OR you can adopt or sponsor him which will go into the habitat fund as well.
I am sure he is. Staff does what the can to give them enrichement. Large habitat yards are being built as fast as possible, but it takes money to buy the materials. YOU CAN HELP build these cats large habitat yards faster by donating to the habitat fund.
Did you read below to see what Hercules story is? sad sad sad... That day he was stalking that ball and when it didn't move he would go up and swat it, then when it moved (duh, he swatted it) then he would pounce on it. When he finished he sorta laid on top of it panting as if to say.. "HA! I WON!" It was funny.
it is very sad...any big cat in captivity to me is sad. its not natural. but he is a beautiful cat...tigers are my second favorite only to smow leopards :)
Yes cats in captivity are sad, but when unscrupulous breederes are allowed by law to breed then unchecked and tacky people choose stupidly to own them as pets, they will continue to end up in sanctuaries. Sanctuaries do NOT breed and do the bes they can to provide the best home posle for these cats.
GREAT!! Thank you for watching. Have more coming as soon as I can get them off the camera. Watch the "Tiger Stalks Snake" video and that will show you how a little of how big the Habitat yards are.
It is a temporary setting until a big habitat yard can be built for him. All the cages that are currrently in the compound area will soon have HUGE habitat yards. Just takes time and money and the staff is moving as fast as they can move to all animals to big yards. He was rescued from a cage that was like 4' tall by 4' wide by 6' long TINY!!
Yep, it sure was. Laws in most areas state the cages only have to be big enough to stand up, turn around and lay down. Because he was confined like that and had a poor diet he is partially crippled. Sad, huh.
Hercules was rescued from a private owner in Texas. He had been kept in such a TINY cage & had such poor nutrition that he did not grow and develope properly. He is small & does not have proper use of his hips & legs. Tigers should NEVER be kept as pets! It does not work out well for the cats. Hercules is a fine example of that!
Laws governing exotic cats only require a cage be big enough for the cat to lay down, stand up and turn around. Basically that is what Hercules had. LOOK WHAT IT DID TO HIM! We NEED new and better laws!!
If you have a video group or are part of a video group, PLEASE save this video to your favorites then you can add it to any group you own or belong to. I would really appreciate your time and efforts to help me get this video watched and rated. THANK YOU!!
He really is. I will post as real life story as soon as I get the rest of it together. All the cats at the refuge have such sad backgrounds before getting to the refuge. I love watching Hercules.
OOPS, what can I say.. but maybe it will get some views for the video. The video is funny, too. But the problem of tigers suffering because someone tried to make them a pet and it never works out well for the cats is not funny. THANK YOU for watching and THANK YOU for commenting. Please add a rating if you have time. I didn't think about the title until after it was uploaded...OOPS
Oddly enough, I don't have many videos, and most of them aren't serious or good quality, but I was just lucky enough to be the first to decide vegans should get more of a say on here. (I'm sure there are probably better qualified folks for the job, but I'm too lazy to give up the job and it allows me to see new videos all the time :P)
Fun, don't cut yourself short. I will go watch your videos tomorrow after work and give them 5 stars. I have a webpage posted with 100 music clips and some tiger pix people can use to make a Save The Tiger video for a contest I have going. If you want link message me. Can't post a link here.
Thank you for watching. THANK YOU for posting a comment. If you like it please rate it. Yeah can you believe some people actually think they can have a tiger as a pet. Unreal huh.

Laws governing exotic cats only require a cage be big enough for the cat to lay down, stand up and turn around. Basically that is what Hercules had. LOOK WHAT IT DID TO HIM! We NEED new and better laws!!

He really is. I will post as real life story as soon as I get the rest of it together. All the cats at the refuge have such sad backgrounds before getting to the refuge. I love watching Hercules.

OOPS, what can I say.. but maybe it will get some views for the video. The video is funny, too. But the problem of tigers suffering because someone tried to make them a pet and it never works out well for the cats is not funny. THANK YOU for watching and THANK YOU for commenting. Please add a rating if you have time. I didn't think about the title until after it was uploaded...OOPS

Oddly enough, I don't have many videos, and most of them aren't serious or good quality, but I was just lucky enough to be the first to decide vegans should get more of a say on here. (I'm sure there are probably better qualified folks for the job, but I'm too lazy to give up the job and it allows me to see new videos all the time :P)

Fun, don't cut yourself short. I will go watch your videos tomorrow after work and give them 5 stars. I have a webpage posted with 100 music clips and some tiger pix people can use to make a Save The Tiger video for a contest I have going. If you want link message me. Can't post a link here.

You should go post it on the message boards at the vegan group and the PETA one or anywhere else. (You should have like a mini-contest thing)

It is the contest group is "savethetiger". From there is the link to contest guidelines etc.

It promotes tigers do not belong as pets and that saving their wilderness habtats is the best way to save the species.
