I have a question. You mentioned in the video that Kathy and her husband had purchased wolves as well as Simba, Freddy and Sassyfrass. Do you remember what happened to them? Whether they were released, euthanized or sent to a different rescue organization?
@shewolf51 We asked the same thing when we were rescuing Freddy and Sassy and the owners sister had no idea, nobody knew what happened to the wolves ?
A W S O M E job guys GOD BLESS U , DID U GUYS RECIVE MY DONATION??? i will check my mail , i love guys , save the tigers plz and all big cats and zabu and bradpit cameron :-) , china doll , shere khan , flavio , bella , TJ , r.i.p snorkel and trucha and , WHERE IS THE female liger , shes ok??
@Corrupt5358 Yeah, but the amount of care you would have to give to a big cat in order to be "responsible" is impossible for most people. Plus, the size of big cats is part of what makes them so dangerous. A playful tackle can kill a person. My cat bites me sometimes, not that hard, but if she was the size of those cougars, I would have a problem.
this has nothing to do with the video really but oh well. my favorite part of big cats are their eyes :) fierce, prideful and just plain out lovely :)
Its sad but at least they had a happy ending... I saw listing for big cats on pet website and I didnt realize until then how easy it is for people to get them. They had cervals .. cheetahs and some other cats listed. No one should have them as pets.. even if you have money theres no way you can truely give them all they need to be happy. I love black panthers and I'm in school to be a vet but I would still never buy one as a pet. Big Cat rescue is awesome for all you do - :)
Speaking of people having pets, I've been getting video suggestions in my Recommended list of people who have bob cats, servals and cougars as pets.
Google is pretty damn imperfect, b/c it's assuming my desire to watch BCR videos means I also want to view videos of people's "pet" big cats.
They get the cats as pets and then show videos of it and, so far, every big cat owner has been oblivious to the fact that their cats are going to grow up.
Lions and cougars are beautiful animals! I'm glad you give all your big cats a second chance at life! And i hope that eventually people won't have to kill them or hunt them for "fun"(as they call it..) but people are becoming less barbaric, which is good ^^
All of you people Prasing BCR are stupid. if you all really love and care for animals, steer clear from donating to BCR. Carole is a hypocrate and if she had it her way, she would be the only person in the world with exotic animals. SHAME ON BCR.
What a WONDERFUL story! I love the look they had when they first stepped out onto the grass. Thank you so very much for all you do for these magnificent cats.
I know that you guys know what you're doing and you take all the procations when doing everything, but taking the collar with out knocking out the cat is crazy. >.< you wouldn't have seen me even trying that. I love you guys kee on doing what you do. :]
Wow!.. Watching this video just further solidifies that BCR are the pros, and really, the only type of folks that should be handling wild cats. It was interesting to hear how you had to modify the fences, etc, all on-the-fly, keeping the cats and the rescuers safe. This is the first time I have seen something like this done. You guys officially rock, I can't open my web browser without checking in with BCR vids and news first. And AWESOME job with Skip!! :) BCR ROX!!!
Ge If a unhappy "domestic" (will never be tamed but semi used to human contact) cougar can do that to a carrier, I wonder what an unhappy truly wild cougar would do!
If you want a "wild cat"...grab a feral cat off the street (or adapt), spay/neuter, give them their rabies. Let loose in house. Let the fun begin (and slowly build up their trust). I got bit my one of my cats on the ring finger because he was unhappy. It was swollen for 3 days. Its going down now but imagine if he was an unhappy cougar!
@Razedbywolves1 The wolves weren't on the property when we rescued Freddy and Sassyfrass, they were long gone by the looks of things and we're not sure where they went ??
what i dont understand is why she kept the cougers for the next 6 years after wot happened...silly woman should hav given them to big cat rescue the same day
I'm glad that they were rescued but I have to say how stupid some people are that would want keep big cats anyway, my opinion. Big cats belong in the wild. God Bless and keep up the good work.
y do people put such big animals like cats etc... in cages so small atleast put them in a good sized enclosure so that they can actually run around :C
@victoriacrl We have a few empty cages, we are almost at capacity (around 120 cats right now) that's why we cannot rescue every cat we are called about, we don't have the room, we can always build new enclosures but this is more money on top of the rescue and care of that animal for the rest of their life, so we have to think hard about the cats we rescue and our future.. :)
@XxChenoxItachixX We are often called about "pets" that are no longer wanted or have been abandoned by their owners etc.... but nothing quite like the story that unfolded at this rescue.
The story about the woman and her husband is so sad. One stupid decision due mainly to ignorance ruined and cut short both their lives. Their compassion for the animals is wonderful but it ended up killing them in the end.
@MeerKat186 I guess they didn't want to take that chance, lions are very tough and he was next to almost 300,000 acres of forest, the lion could have disappeared forever!

You guys are absolutely awesome!!! I love your updates about the work you're doing - which is phenomenal. As a major cat lover, I can't tell you how grateful I am to you for your efforts in rescuing these incredibly intelligent and beautiful beings. Blessings.
@ARodriguez258 The wolves weren't on the property when we rescued Freddy and Sassyfrass, they were long gone by the looks of things and we're not sure where they went ??
I love you for what you do for this magnificent cats!! Had to share this on Facebook!! Happy New Year to you, as well as all the furry residents at Big Cat Rescue!!
@MagicalMotherRabbit Thanks for watching! Unfortunately the state of Louisiana renewed the permit condemning Tony to the truck stop for at least another year :( We won't give up the fight though!!
sad for simba, although it's probably better he didn't escape. :( I'm glad they didn't breed any of them, but still, they could've called you guys earlier and saved everyone a lot of trouble. Thank you for saving them, I'm sure they are thinking the same thing!
You are doing such a great job. I really look forward to seeing all your posts on youtube as its so insightful to see the wonderful work you do. Every time I'm in the Tampa area I love coming for a visit. Thank you for taking care of these amazing animals.
wow the couple who used to own these beautiful cats should be beat to death. how stupid can you be to want to keep these wild animals in your backyard and trying to breed them. Then she just leaves them there when she decides to leave what a fuckin souless bitch hope she gets whats coming to her. people like that make me sick.
@paul452531 hey i just love these animals and it just really pisses me off when i see just how stupid people really can be. Its things like this that make our world that much more depressing. They belong in the wild not in a cage in some dumb hicks backyard.
@KyleMorrison well if you listened to the video, she killed herself. and they said in the video they WEREN'T trying to breed the cats. If you're going to be angry, be angry for the right reason. I also don't think anyone who owns exotic animals like that is a good thing either. In fact, I hope it becomes illegal worldwide. Thank you so much BCR for rescuing those guys! (maybe you can come move this bobcat that keeps visiting us and kills our chickens! ;P)
It's such a shame that exotics get abused like this... I'd love nothing more than to have a "pet" cougar, but I know that line alone will make so many uncomfortable because of irresponsible people out there. There's not a damn thing that says a cat like this can't be cared for in a way that it would be extremely happy and healthy. Unfortunately idiots ruin it all, even for those who want to be responsible about it.
@darkshadow851 I don't think anyone wants to be irrisponsible about it. well maybe a few jerks, but most people think they can handle it and find out otherwise. Even housecats sometimes bite and claw in play, except housecats don't weigh 200 pounds (i don't know how much cougars actually weigh...) and I think they'd be hard to feed, too, since they eat raw meat and that's about it :/
@TheMonthofMayo Perhaps then to say it's a shame that people are foolish enough to have such a gross misconception of what is responsible. I.e. beating the animal with a shovel- not responsible. Or an enclosure like what they showed, I wouldn't even consider that large enough for the average dog, let alone a damn cougar.
I'm so glad your guys were able to save them! :] I kind of wish that the lion had been able to continue in a place like BCR, but I understand the police weren't able to wait... I wonder what happened to the wolves? Lots of people are curious... Perhaps they were gone, if someone else was able to care for them?
Again, I'm so glad you were able to save Freddy and Sassyfrass. Hopefully one day you won't have to rescue any more animals (as in, this exotic animal owning stops).
@WolfehMaster The wolves weren't on the property when we rescued Freddy and Sassyfrass, they were long gone by the looks of things and we're not sure where they went ??
@vickiormindyb Yep, that's what it said in the newspaper report I believe, you're job sounds interesting. All these ignorant people and their "pets" .....
Life's always an inspiring adventure with Big Cat Rescue! That's got to be one of the most ghetto breeding facilities I've ever seen. Hell, the guy stole a McDonald's banner ad from Wal-Mart to put in the cage. What the hell was that for, so that the cougar wouldn't climb out or bite the cage? Stupid people...
in the video u said that they also had wolves if so were they still there when u rescued the 2 cougars or were they not? if they were still there did u get help for them too?
@XxemoxchibixX The wolves weren't on the property when we rescued Freddy and Sassyfrass, they were long gone by the looks of things and we're not sure where they went ??
Glad that this had a happy ending... Sad though that people looking for power and money resort to trying to own what's wild and sacred to their and the wild critter's' detriment. Hope that one day...not too far off...we'll appreciate our own power as HUmans in service to creation and in honor of the wild. My very best to you good folks!
In Illinois?! That's pretty close to me. I didn't know they lived around there.

@MagicalMotherRabbit Thanks for watching! Unfortunately the state of Louisiana renewed the permit condemning Tony to the truck stop for at least another year :( We won't give up the fight though!!

What I'm curious about is who's the one to volunteer to take a collar off of a cougar...

sad for simba, although it's probably better he didn't escape. :( I'm glad they didn't breed any of them, but still, they could've called you guys earlier and saved everyone a lot of trouble. Thank you for saving them, I'm sure they are thinking the same thing!

wow the couple who used to own these beautiful cats should be beat to death. how stupid can you be to want to keep these wild animals in your backyard and trying to breed them. Then she just leaves them there when she decides to leave what a fuckin souless bitch hope she gets whats coming to her. people like that make me sick.

@paul452531 hey i just love these animals and it just really pisses me off when i see just how stupid people really can be. Its things like this that make our world that much more depressing. They belong in the wild not in a cage in some dumb hicks backyard.

@KyleMorrison
It says in the video that the couple is dead. The man died of wounds, and the woman committed suicide.

@KyleMorrison What a retarded thing to say, get a brain. I'm betting they were better people than you.

@KyleMorrison well if you listened to the video, she killed herself. and they said in the video they WEREN'T trying to breed the cats. If you're going to be angry, be angry for the right reason. I also don't think anyone who owns exotic animals like that is a good thing either. In fact, I hope it becomes illegal worldwide. Thank you so much BCR for rescuing those guys! (maybe you can come move this bobcat that keeps visiting us and kills our chickens! ;P)

to publish that the woman committed suicide is sensationalisitc journalism and not needed for your story - she still has relatives to think of -
stating she died is sufficient unless you wish to still punish her in death

It's such a shame that exotics get abused like this... I'd love nothing more than to have a "pet" cougar, but I know that line alone will make so many uncomfortable because of irresponsible people out there. There's not a damn thing that says a cat like this can't be cared for in a way that it would be extremely happy and healthy. Unfortunately idiots ruin it all, even for those who want to be responsible about it.

@darkshadow851 I don't think anyone wants to be irrisponsible about it. well maybe a few jerks, but most people think they can handle it and find out otherwise. Even housecats sometimes bite and claw in play, except housecats don't weigh 200 pounds (i don't know how much cougars actually weigh...) and I think they'd be hard to feed, too, since they eat raw meat and that's about it :/
TheMonthofMayo 1 year ago
@TheMonthofMayo Perhaps then to say it's a shame that people are foolish enough to have such a gross misconception of what is responsible. I.e. beating the animal with a shovel- not responsible. Or an enclosure like what they showed, I wouldn't even consider that large enough for the average dog, let alone a damn cougar.
darkshadow851 1 year ago
I'm so glad your guys were able to save them! :] I kind of wish that the lion had been able to continue in a place like BCR, but I understand the police weren't able to wait... I wonder what happened to the wolves? Lots of people are curious... Perhaps they were gone, if someone else was able to care for them?
Again, I'm so glad you were able to save Freddy and Sassyfrass. Hopefully one day you won't have to rescue any more animals (as in, this exotic animal owning stops).

Just think, they day they bought those cats they ruined their lives. One to die, one to die of loneliness. Sad.

He must have hit an artery when he bit the guy.
That's the only way he could have bled to death before help arrived-unless he was there for an hour before he called for help.
I work in Emergency Medicine, and I hate calls where there are injured people w/ live wild animals around when we arrive on scene.
One person had a 'pet' alligator, who bit her while she was trying to clean his enclosure.

Life's always an inspiring adventure with Big Cat Rescue! That's got to be one of the most ghetto breeding facilities I've ever seen. Hell, the guy stole a McDonald's banner ad from Wal-Mart to put in the cage. What the hell was that for, so that the cougar wouldn't climb out or bite the cage? Stupid people...

@UberMan5000 I think it was more of a wind break? But the cougars had no roof and a very tiny dog-loo shelter and it gets very cold up there :(

in the video u said that they also had wolves if so were they still there when u rescued the 2 cougars or were they not? if they were still there did u get help for them too?

I want to thank you all as well. I'm still crying.
You are wise people dealing with fools. I don't know how you keep any faith in humanity. I suppose you just have to look at one another.
I am proud you are my Brothers and Sisters. May the Heavens hold you dear.
I do.

Glad that this had a happy ending... Sad though that people looking for power and money resort to trying to own what's wild and sacred to their and the wild critter's' detriment. Hope that one day...not too far off...we'll appreciate our own power as HUmans in service to creation and in honor of the wild. My very best to you good folks!
