What started off as a journey to find some bobcat tracks in the Carrollwood area of Tampa, Florida turned into something completely different.
Sadly, the subject of this 5 mintute piece is happening all over the world at an alarming rate.

[BigCatRescue]

All our tigers are bengals or a mix between bengal and siberian.

I live in Florida and remember being so upset a few years ago when the Real Estate market was artificially booming. They were plowing through land like crazy and the most disgusting thing about it is....most of the homes that were put on those plowed lots are now completely vacant and being foreclosed on. What a complete waste. So many animals were displaced, so many trees knocked down and so many neighborhoods that were once lush and green now look terrible and run down. It's very sad.

[BigCatRescue]

Yep, it's a sad situation, too many people = no room for wildlife, let's just hope we can find a balance in the future before we have no wildlife left to enjoy!

2000 people a week? holy hell!!! if i lived in florida id be protesting, id be messing if construction equipment,(not like rigging it with explosives but popping a tire or 2) i hate people who mess with the enviroment. Then hunters have the nerve to say"o i hunt them cuz there a dangers to cars" isn't that the stupidest thing you have ever heard.

[BigCatRescue]

I applaud your care and concern, however, we always have to encourage people to 'fight within the laws'. We cannot break the laws while asking for new laws to protect these animals. We need to get creative (not criminal) in our thinking. I certainly understand the sentiment, though. We must always think positive and 'fight' in positive and constuctive methods. THANK YOU so much for caring. Please consider sharing our website and our videos with your friends.

FR35HC guess what? people get free food and shelter in jail too. Animals have instincts and needs, life in captivity isn't the best thing for them. But as long as your urban suburbs get built so YOU can have a better home, than it's ok. Humans should get neutered by law...

@ThinkPink92 I felt the same way, and their reckless building ended up backfiring, now didn't it?

Destruction of wild habitats all over the U.S. are displacing wildlife. Very sad.

I live on the outer edge of the Brooker Creek Preserve (Odessa,FL), I have seen many bob cats and some with baby's. About a year ago my brother and I saw what I believe was a cougar run out in front of our truck and into the preserve, could have been a panther, it was huge and fast!

[DeliriousKindness1]

I saw a bob cat at Ft; Pickens,Pensacola

The song that plays in the 1st 11 seconds sounds familiar. It's a Mat Kearney song that appeared in the TV show "Kyle XY" (Season 1, episode 10). Good music selection. :)
