[thepopcorn00]

1:05, the ferocious, man eating house cat!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[sracha1130]

*sigh* It must be annoying to have people argue about how you take care of your beautiful felines...

They are really beautiful, and I understand why you can't release them into the wild. Besides, they seem to be quite happy there.

[CalebGoGrangers]

last wknd we were coon hunting and we treed a bobcat and it jumped down at us and i shot it 6 times-self defense sorry

[BigCatRescue]

@CalebGoGrangers Hunters are just great people....

[isarose1]

@BigCatRescue baaahhaaaa love the sarcasm :)

[whitetiger769]

@BigCatRescue the little kitty be shined on with the light lol

[mcpannesi]

@CalebGoGrangers if u werent coon hunting in the first place, you would have never been there for the bobcat to "jump down at you"

[cheree4life]

@CalebGoGrangers

Your stupid. Hunters are retarded selfess people.

Like to see you without a gun!

[daphnener]

MADRABBIT owned by knowledge. Way to make yourself look like an asshole...

[megatronstars]

scott you are awsome and later in my life i hope i will be abble to donate and the person calling you names has no idea how helpfull you guys are and he has no clue what he is saying

[megatronstars]

Lightblinder! thats a terrible thing to say they rescue not imprison cats.

you cant read

[Lightblinder]

@megatronstars I never said THEY imprison cats, when I said captive animals I meant that the animals they rescue were captive and had grown up on captivity, hence they couldn't simply release them in the wild. Oh and for the record, I was QUOTING a guy who was saying the big cat rescue imprisons cats, you should have read the whole thing and you'd have seen many people quoting this same guy down below before saying that >I< can't read.....

[ReviewCam]

Where do you rescue these big cats from? When I was a kid a guy on my street had a lion cub named Marcus. He wasn't a trainer or anything and I always wondered where he got Marcus and what became of the cub once he reached adulthood.

[MADRABBITONRABIES]

You should change your youtube name to BigCatimprisonment.

[BigCatRescue]

@MADRABBITONRABIES Our cats' only option is a life in captivity and we provide them with a great home, they cannot be released into the wild.

[MADRABBITONRABIES]

@BigCatRescue Well, you take away their option by taking them while being cubs and say that you cant get them back to the wild. STOP MESSING WITH NATURE, assholes

[BigCatRescue]

@MADRABBITONRABIES 99% of the cats we rescue are older cats, we very rarely rescue cubs or kittens. All cats that can be rehabbed and released (Florida bobcats) we do this. There are no programs for releasing captive bred big cats, and our cats would not be suitable as they associate people with food, have no fear, lack hunting skills, they would become nuisance animals and would be killed..... even if they could be released which they cannot.

[megatronstars]

@BigCatRescue you guys are awsome

[foxpups1]

@BigCatRescue Can't you teach them how to hunt and survive in the wild?

[BigCatRescue]

@foxpups1 This is an almost impossible task, plus the above comment would make it a waste of time, what we need to focus on is preserving habitat and educating people to ensure the survival of already wild populations of cats.

[sy660]

@MADRABBITONRABIES fuck you you don't get it bastard they can't relese the cats motherfucker!

[sy660]

@MADRABBITONRABIES fuck you you don't get it bastard they can't relese the cats motherfucker! ps your the asshole

[FatesDecision]

@MADRABBITONRABIES stfu they raise money to support endangered animals. Did you even listen to the bios? Environmentafail

[MADRABBITONRABIES]

@BigCatRescue You still dont take shit from nature its wrong, I saw u had a snow leopard, the most rare of the felines. I still think u deserve to be punished for this.

[DancingKaty2010]

@MADRABBITONRABIES The rescue aren't the ones that took the cats from the wild. Stupid people buy these cats on the black market and then don't realize that the animals grow and are dangerous. At that point though, the damage has been done and the cats can't be released into the wild due to they don't know how to survive. The rescue then takes these cats and gives them a safe place to live the rest of their lives. The people at the rescue would never take an animal out of it's natural habitat.

[BigCheese1138]

@MADRABBITONRABIES It's not like BCR goes out and steals big cats in the dead of the night.

[cheetahluv16]

@MADRABBITONRABIES Are you dense? They have no choice. These cats were ALREADY captive BEFORE Big Cat Rescue was in the picture. By keeping them in habitats, BCR is giving these cats the closest thing they can possibly have to the wild. If these cats are released at ANY point in their lives, they WILL die.

[Lightblinder]

@MADRABBITONRABIES and you should change your name to FailedEnvironmentalist.....nex­t time get some information on captive animals and how troublesome it is the very thought of returning them to the wild before spitting bs about stuff you don't know, "asshole"

[megatronstars]

@Lightblinder  you have no clue dude no clue

[Bo0skiesz]

Has Animal Planet ever contacted you about a show? That would be a great and it gets the message out to a much bigger audience then youtube.

[BigCatRescue]

@Bo0skiesz Animal Planet have filmed segments out at the sanctuary before, so they know who we are and what we do and I agree a TV show would help us reach a wider audience about the problems these cats are facing...

[VikiSil]

Do you have that rattlesnake like sound of a sand cat in any of your videos?

[BigCatRescue]

@VikiSil No Iv'e never heard our sand cats do this ??

[tjk200081]

This may sound stupid, but is there a difference between a black jaguar, and a black panther? I honestly do not know.

[BigCatRescue]

@tjk200081 This is a common question. The answer is the black panther is not a species, black panther is what people sometimes call a black leopard or black jaguar. Panthera is part of their scientific name which is where the name comes from, so a black panther is always a black leopard or jaguar, which is a result of melanism, when excess melanin causes a darkening of the body tissues :) Now you know...

[tjk200081]

@BigCatRescue Thanks for your reply! :-)

[NWAfan]

@tjk200081 no such thing as a black panther

[Tessa1ify]

o.o Zomg Kitteh! :3

[TimmyGal]

For some reason, large felines do not look scary to me. Far from it. Now, spiders are a whole other story, way on the other side of the spectrum.

[MsButters8]

which state is this in?

[evkin117]

they should have that on all the time

[genjutsugaara]

Sounds dangerous

[TristanPhoenix]

Wow, in a lot of videos these cats always seem to keep one eye on the trainer(cameraman?), even when playing with enrichment, etc. I'd be curious to see a video with some of the dangers involved in caring for these animals. For example, when it comes to some of the smaller ones, like Nirvana, do they ever exhibit the same type of aggressive behavior as some of the bigger cats? More than hissing, etc? Would the smallest cat at BCR right now attack humans like a Tiger would if hungry?

[BigCatRescue]

@TristanPhoenix Good idea, we've done similar videos in the past but might be time for an updated version about all the ways we work around these animals. A lot of the smaller species can be aggressive towards people especially people they don't really care for, they would attack if they had no other option but would prefer to run away from you.

[babycat967]

@BigCatRescue u no even house hold cats can be very nasty they are very territorial i got a new puppy my ginger tom wasnt happy as he thought when he heard her bark it was our old dog come back cause shed had to be put to sleep from tumor when he saw it wast he tried to rip my pups face of i got a broken bone from him biting and stitches for scratches hes run up my bare legs to get dog to there crazy some cats

[RosenCinder]

Do you guys still do this? It would be so cool to do that if we ever go down to Florida again. <3 I simply adore big cats. I'd love to work at a rescue like that, but I think I'm gonna get a job that pays me a lot so I can donate instead, lol.

[BigCatRescue]

@RosenCinder Yep, definitely we do the night tour on the last friday of the month you just have to call ahead to book in advance, here's our number: 813 920 4130 Hope you can make it sometime!

[Rissenya]

Oh, I love big cats so... I wish I could work with big cats... it is my dream since i was a child... Now i am working in Russia at "1st Channel" TV and making documentary films about famous people... But I am still dreaming about making films about big cats and nature... =( Thank you for resquing this wonderful animals!

[apharot]

I have a question. Your guide said the Great Cats are the Lions, Tigers, Leopards and Jaguars, but I've always heard that there were five of the Big Cats, the Lion, Tiger, Leopard, Jaguar, and Cheetah. Can you clarify that for me?

[BigCatRescue]

@apharot Hi, I believe there are only four great cats (lion, tiger, leopard and jaguar) these cats can roar but cannot purr. Cheetahs are a lesser cat because they purr also :)

[asshol3434]

@BigCatRescue i bet that all cats smal and big burr`s andthe have difind roar but its roar ^-^ big cats are not always bad if u rise them as kitten lolz then u can care for it but then the purson how has a wild animal need to have indication my meaning is let wild animals alone the belong in wild not in a human house

[asshol3434]

@asshol3434 purrs*

[MrTombonez]

@BigCatRescue I heard also that the Cougar which also in the cat family does "puurrr, too

[BigCatRescue]

@MrTombonez Yep, correct cougars are the largest cat that can purr :)

[TheMegaFirewolf]

omg were is this i love big cats ect

[minithedoggie]

Wow cooooooooooool

[nishyblaquee]

dude i wanna work for u lot... its amazin wht u do n keep up d good wrk.

[nishyblaquee]

dude i wanna work for u lot... its amazin wht u do n keep up d good wrk.

[khellendrose]

Night vision would be better toreally watch these cats at there best at night

[AdvertChild98]

Did someone just bring a housecat on the night tour? What was that tiny house cat doing there?

[BigCatRescue]

We have a few domestic cats that people have dumped over our fence etc... that we take care of. They can wonder around the sanctuary but don't stray too far and know the rules better than anyone!

[killergirlify]

i have no idea yet we cant diside

[killergirlify]

me and my best friend are going to work with big cats in the future

[BigCatRescue]

Cool, where are you going to be working?

[xxxrandomjamezxxx]

cool vid keep it up

[ChasehaWing]

sooooo cool... If I ever go to america for a trip, I'm going there. It looks beat. Maybe I'll go in the winter time to try and beat the heat, even by a little ^^

[BigCatRescue]

Winter time would definitely be a good idea, the cats are more active when it's cooler also :)

[RoseRed87]

Wow...the humans comfort level...gone...the cats...now...you go from the predator to prey. So do you guys have an amur leopard @ your sanctuary? @ my Sedgwick County Zoo we have both amur tiger & a amur leopard...

[BigCatRescue]

Yeah it's a totally different experience at night! We have several amur/bengal tigers but only african and asian leopards. Where is Sedgwick zoo?

[ItsSnickelsBetch]

i love cats n u guys 2 b coz u r good 2 cats

[Fight0Tyranny]

You guys do such a great job. Id love to work wit h big cats , they are my favourite animal , Id be too scared and paranoid to do it though.

[BigCatRescue]

Thanks for your support, just come out for a tour instead? :)

[Fight0Tyranny]

lol sure when I save enough to fly from the UK to FL, I have been to FL before, I didnt want to leave :(

Ive driven my car through lions at longleat park in the UK (which I disagree with as they have them in the open and people can drive their cars through over 12 lions )

and that scared me so much due to their roaring and bumping the car that I vowed to watch from at least a couch and tv set, or at least a steel door and window lol

[BigCatRescue]

Oh you're in the UK, I'm originally from there - Nottingham. I've never made it to Longleat, it's crazy to see how many people wind down their windows when they're driving through the lion/tiger areas!

[Fight0Tyranny]

wow Nottingham! I plan to visit there too someday lol

I know. Longleat is awful and dangerous, there isn't a lot of security and the lions are on a massive patch of grass with no, branches or anything , it's sad and It's going to take a lion attack to get people to sit up and notice and it's such a shame it has to come to that.

[DeadVegetto]

I'm going to see this in 2 years, and I can't wait for it!

Also, I have a quick question; I've seen a few domestic cats and... Turkeys? Wander the sanctuary in your videos, could you elaborate on this?

[BigCatRescue]

Hi, we have ducks, guinea hens and peacocks on the sanctuary, as well as a few domestic cats. The ducks stay by the lake but the guinea hens and peacocks wander around the sanctuary, the guinea hens are the only birds we actually brought on to BCR, they eat all the bugs and ticks etc.. all others have just made their own way, we feed them of course :) The domestic cats were either feral or abandoned at our gate, we of course get them fixed and look after them too :)

[cheetah38fan]

aw tj and hercules!! ily guys!!! haha i wanna kiss all there noses but i dont think that would turn out very well lol.....omg nikitas such a lazy butt!! haha btw i saw the video w/ scott talking bout nikita and i saw how he called her nikki lion and now i cant stop calling her tht when i show ppl videos with her lol

[BigCatRescue]

Yeah I call her Niki now too!

[freedom3001]

I love what you're doing and the trip looks great. Such a shame I live 5,000 miles away :(

[BigCatRescue]

Yeah, that would be a long day trip!

[MeowcatBissy]

I wish I could go, but guess what? I'm all the way in California! :O

[BigCatRescue]

Well that's not good, maybe one day, just hop on a plane!

[ghettoclaw]

have any of those cat ever escaped from their cages? that would be scary.

[MeowcatBissy]

Aww they are so beautiful I want to hug them all... lol................cute cute cute!

[BigCatRescue]

Yeah......that could get messy and be a bad mistake!

[MeowcatBissy]

Yup it could, but I've got my own tiger, leopard, and panther (look alikes!). *really house cats...*

[BigCatRescue]

There the best kind to have, we wish everybody just had domestic cats as pets!

[apo3d]

1:07 very scary big cat! :)

great job caring for the furry souls guys!

[BigCatRescue]

Yeah he's on of our guard cats we have on property!

[fuckanycuntup]

looks preety kool

[AnimalLover5267]

you guys are amazing! I love your dedication to these animals.Why were the cats rubing on the fence?

[BigCatRescue]

Thanks, cats have scent glands in their cheeks so they rub on stuff to mark it as their own!

[Furnifur]

Why on earth did a drug house want a big cat, just intimidation? That is insane. They are all so beautiful!

[BigCatRescue]

I guess intimidation and also security if word on the street is that they have a lion in the house, they will probably stay well away! Glad she's at BCR living outside and on soft grass now!

[redhawkfreak]

you guys are amazing! I love your dedication to these animals. do you have any ocelots?

[BigCatRescue]

THANKYOU! Yes we have several ocelots, check out our website bigcatrescue*org for more info!

[GuardChica3713]

Is Nikita an African, Barbary, or Asiatic lion?

[BigCatRescue]

Nikita is an african lion.

[fashionwhorexo]

you guys are wonderful!!!!!!!!

[Strongboy911]

In spanish its noche octurna

[dobbins2550]

You guys ROCK! One day I will come out there from Houston to see you guys!!

[BigCatRescue]

Thanks! Yeah you should Houston isn't too far away!

[shadowIbunny]

This looks so much fun! Unlike the zoo where the cats are lounging or sleeping.

[WildlifeMediaChannel]

What a great video, I learned some new things as well. I'm glad there are santuaries out there that don't neglect their Feline Inhabitants.

[flumpj]

I hate how I'm in Canada and I can't go to Florida and go to Bigcatrescue

[onekinkstar]

If it makes you feel any better, I LIVE in FloriDUH AND haven't gone there YET!

[RealspitHiphop604]

yeah im in canada too, vancouver. but i'm going to try to make my way down there one day, seems amazing and they are doing a good thing for big cats. much respect.

[Jazzgirl8888]

Thanks for letting us know about the night tour . That's a terrific idea! :)

[Chilldogg]

cool

[wisfamily]

Neat Idea guys! What do the cats think of the flashlights and all the camera flashes , and the invasion of their nightime routine...

They all seem pretty laid back about it all...

[Angecool1998]

cool i wanna have a night tour!! but i dont live in florida D= they all look so alive in the dark

[vickiormindyb]

I think it's mean to euthanize a tiger just because it suddenly doesn't have a home.

It can't help that it doesn't have a place to stay.

I'm glad you guys rescued the tigers and saved them from being put to sleep.

[flumpj]

Where is the Big Cat Rescue

[beowulfsword08]

Florida

[jelly17000]

Darn :( Take me six days to drive there

[CattyCatRanch]

Jelly17000: A BCR tour is worth the drive.(;^)

[sumsdiva1]

I will be in Florida in January. Where exactly is the Big Cat Rescue?

[BigCatRescue]

Hi,

Big Cat Rescue, 12802 Easy St, Tampa Florida 33625.

See you in January!

[sumsdiva1]

Thank you for the directions. My family think we're going to Florida for the theme parks, but now I have other ideas. A night tour sounds fantastic. Greetings from Oxfordshire, England.

[beowulfsword08]

Now that I couldn't tell you as i'm in the UK!

Go to their website i'm sure it's posted on the BCR channel

[darkula666]

[briczar22]

Great shots of Rose. Cool video.

[Itchhhh]

Herc' is the CAT!!!!
