I lost my job 7 months back. I am still unemployed, and almost reaching the end of funds I have. Still I couldn't resist donating to Big Cat Rescue. I just had to for the great work they do for these lovely animals. I just donated 10 bucks. May God bless Big Cat Rescue.

[BigCatRescue]

Well thank you very much for your support, happy holidays and good luck finding a new job, I hope you get something soon!

[tcezetta]

ill fine a way for me to help

[frogtmd]

i understand that it not very likely that captive raised felines would survive in the wild, i thought i saw a documentary on animal planet, history or discovery of a man who taught captive raised tigers to hunt in africa and those individuals were later relocated to asia. any information concerning this would be greatly appreciated.

[BigCatRescue]

I believe that was Dave Salmoni, I'm not sure if they were ever successfully released or not? The trouble is people can spend literally years doing this with two tigers and in that time hundreds or thousands of wild tigers have been killed and a massive amount of their habitat as been destroyed. We should focus on education and preservation of their habitat so the remaining wild tigers can survive.

[geebeepman]

I was just wondering, IF these cats were able to return to the wild, would they survive? I mean to those cats who practically grew in BCR from cub to full adult.

[BigCatRescue]

No, they'd lack the hunting skills they needed and would have a rough time trying to get by, they would probably become a nuisance animal preying on livestock etc...since they would associate people with food. We rescue most of our cats when they are already mature and do not breed at BCR,. We are unsure of the history of a lot of our cats also and genetically they are not good specimens and wouldn't be released into the wild if this happened :)

[ParaPara134]

Do you guys have any albino animals i dont know how to spell it but its when they are born white with red eyes. or animals that are born different if you do please tell me about them i think that BCR is very cool and interesting.

[BigCatRescue]

We don't have any albino animals, we do have two white servals, a white tiger and Freckles the liger.

[kateyn2katz]

I cant be there, but i bought some raffle tix. I hope you raise a ton of money this year.

[BigCatRescue]

Thanks for your support!

[lucky333123]

do you have any cheetahs at Big Cat Rescue?

[BigCatRescue]

Nope, no cheetahs at BCR Just leopards :)

[cricricricricricri]

I love your cats! but how many species of wild cats do you have in BCR ? and how many cats do you have? I'm really curious to know :)

[BigCatRescue]

We have around 140 cats at the sanctuary, representing 19 species and sub species of cats!

[cricricricricricri]

wow, a true paradise :)

I never saw jaguars on your vids. Are there any jaguars in BCR ?

[BigCatRescue]

No we don't have any jaguars, we used to :)

[MeowcatBissy]

I love the big Kinny Binnies! I have a 15 pounder at home. How's that for tiger? >:D

[cheetah38fan]

[BigCatRescue]

That was Nyla she and her brother Simba live in neighboring enclosures at BCR :)

[cheetah38fan]

she sure is pretty :) leopards r one of my fav big cats :) there so pretty and graceful

[AdvertChild98]

I really want to work for you guys, but i live in canada. I hope in the future i would go and visit your guys.

Although I have never been there visiting those cats, it seems they gradually become a very important matter to me as i watch their videos regularly. They are like my "friends".

[avatarfan4lyfe]

wht animal is at 1:53??

[BigCatRescue]

That's Canyon, one of our sand cats!

[floridapotter]

Great video...hope it does the trick on Friday night....

Fur ball is here....WooHoo!!

[AnimalAnimeFan]

Is there anything I can do other than coming over there possibly next year to work for you guys? I feel like crying sometimes! Tigers are beautiful and were always my favorite animal! I want to help save them!

[BigCatRescue]

You could become an advocat and do work for us remotely? Visit catlaws*com to help pass legislation and speak out on behalf of the animals! Follow the link in the description to the video :) Thanks!

[Mufasathegodlion]

so very true, i love it ^^

[KAMPACX264]

The south chinese tiger is almost extinct, and will soon be gone forever, and still I see no effort and awareness in the media or the government of China to save this species, I feel that majority of people don't care if another tiger species is extinct, sorry If my comment is not related to this video just had to say something

[BigCatRescue]

We may be doing a species spotlight on the tiger in the future and will go into greater detail about the different subspecies etc..and ways to help, thanks!

[apharot]

I wish you guys would do a spotlight on the Amur Leopard.

[feebaysocute]

[BigCatRescue]

Check out our website BigCatRescue*org or catlaws*com for ways you can help, thank you!

[austinhh132]

[TannersaurusDoc]

Man, I regret living in the UK. I'd be down there in a heartbeat if I were living in the US. ;__;

[BigCatRescue]

I'm from the UK, I work at BCR now, feel very lucky, you can always do an internship for 3 months?

[TannersaurusDoc]

I'd need to save up some money first. Maybe when I can afford to pay my rent on time, I'll definitely give it some serious thought. :P

[ancestralblue]

That's the way it is for the horses who've come to live here. Horses with problems who would otherwise have gone to slaughter. They live out their lives here. Noone expects them to perform and they are quite happy. We see them as a part of the Sacred. That's what's needed for people and the critters around the world. We need to look into the eyes of all and see the Sacred there. God expressing itself.

[Jedtumble]

i hope he won hero of animal planet

[LilSakkii]

Once again a great vid. :)
