'Flagship Species' Lions and Tigers- Big Cat TV

A flagship species is one chosen to represent an environmental cause. And often we see lions and tigers used in promotion and advertising.
And these are the two species used the most to produce cubs for the industry as well, and there are ethics matters that come into play with that.
There are an estimated 41 species of felines out there and by protecting enough habitat for lions and tigers we then save habitat for all the lesser known cats as well.
Big Cat Rescue is committed in not only giving our residents the best life possible but we also support saving wild habitat.

Big Cat Rescue is a proud supporting member of the International Tiger Coalition, Snow Leopard Trust, among other feline conservation efforts.

I Have sent many of the vids from bigcatrescue to my friends they are animal lovers to

And they are helping me by sending these vids to there friends who send them to there friends and so on. We want the world to care for animals and try to help them not hunt them and think of them as coats!

I cannot find a single updated petition on not a single member website of the International Tiger Coalition about the upcoming CITES meeting regarding the banning of Tiger Farms in Asia.

Please, post a link to a petition.

They're the most expensive and rare cat to own, People who own them privatly don't want to sell them..Because they're rare as hell to own.

Jungle,fisher,and lepord cats kick all other felines asses!

Your very welcome

[BigCatRescue]

It would be a great thing if we didn't have any big cats under our care and all the problems they faced with private ownership were gone. I too find them fascinating, but I'm very glad they are not as common as backyard tigers/lions at the same time.

Why is it a good thing you dont have cheetahs?.... i find them to be the most fascinating. And why are they hard to purchase because out of all the big cats, they are the most vulnerable and easiest to tame.

[BigCatRescue]

No, we've never had cheetahs before, this is a good thing, they are very hard to purchase buy individuals, this makes us happy :)
