Save Tigers & Bobcats!

!!!HELP SAVE THE TIGER & BOBCAT!!!

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, also known as CITES, is an international treaty designed to control and regulate international trade in certain animal and plant species that are now or potentially may be threatened with extinction.

Currently, 175 countries, including the United States, are parties to CITES. The Convention calls for biennial meetings in which one of the functions is to consider amendments to the lists of species possibly threatened with extinction.

We have a unique opportunity to provide public comments to 2 items related to big cats that the United States plans to submit for consideration.

First, the US continues to support a strong stance on tiger conservation and efforts to address illegal trade in tiger and other Asian big cat parts and derivatives. Of course, Big Cat Rescue fully supports this position.

Second, a proposal exists to remove Bobcats from the current list of protected species. BIG CAT RESCUE DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS POSITION.

Please write a letter to our CITES representatives, and let them know that you support strong tiger conservation, but you insist that they keep the Bobcat under Appendix II Protection.

We CAN make a difference!

"bobcats are killed for their fur. but the only part used is their stomach fur."

lol. It would be better if the neck fur was also used?

[BigCatRescue]

Or if they weren't killed at all?

[GuitarrAddictt]

I don't get it, why people want such fur? It's beautiful i know, but yeah.. don't they know HOW they got this fur. It's just cruel.

[deke441]

i have a idea..Lets feed the big cats a diet of drug dealers , gang members, child molesters and rapist, We could put it on pay per view and use the money to support fine organizations like this!

[ZaWarudo116]

@deke441 Or we could just donate money, instead of encouraging the animals to eat humans.

sigh, this hits my heart. it kills me to know tigers and other "big cats" are hurt and killed. sigh, i hope when im older i can do my best to help save tigers and other big cats.

Bobcats r listed as Least Concern

[MrColumbusbohunks]

Are u fuckin kidding?... bobcats? Tigers... yes I can see that, but bobcats. In my state whenever I kill a bobcat I have to report it to the game and parks, so I sure they aren't endangered. If u protect them, they will become overpopulated. Eversince hawks have been protected, the pheasant, quail, and duck populations have decreased. U treehuggers are as worthless as tits on a boar!

@bibi14930 I support beheading anyone who supports or exercises senseless animal killing. I think their family deserves to be killed off too. They should be rot in hell bones and all.

[bibi14930]

i buy cats fur to support the cat fur trade. cats are stupid annoying things that deserve to die. i dont care what kind.

i dont care if cats go extinct.

i will continue to buy cat fur to support cat fur trade and skinning of cats!
