Video # 4 Photo Tour Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge

This video was taken during a photo tour at Turpentine Creek sometime between the early Spring of 2004 and the mid fall of 2007.

Turpentine Creek does not buy, sell or breed their cats. You should NEVER support any facility calling themselves a sanctuary if they do. Real sanctuaries do not buy, sell or breed.

All cats deserve to be in large habitat yards and not cages. Funds raised from photo tours at TCWR goes toward building more habitat yards in an effort to get all cats out of cages and into habitat yards.

Big cats should NEVER be pets, should never be used in performing acts such as circuses or magic shows, please do not pay to see such acts. If you pay to see such acts you are jsut as guilty of the cruelty toward those performing animals as are those inflicting the cruelty.

You should not support unaccredited "roadside wanna be zoos" either as they do not adhere to high standards of care for the animals nor high standards of safety the animals, staff and public.

Proper sanctuaries are over full and bursting at the seams with former pets, former performers, throw away, unwanted, discarded big cats. If you are not part of the solution to end the causes that create these unwanted, abused and abandoned animals, then you are supporting the root of the problem. The practices that cause so many wild animals to need sanctuary are not going to stop unless the public learns to stop supporting and ignoring the causes.
