If you could help in the healing of abandoned and abused tigers in a valley in California and support programs that would prevent the needless death of both animals and people during disasters like that which happened in New Orleans, wouldn’t you do so?
By working together and making the world a better, safer place for animals, we are also making the world a better, safer place for people as well.
During hurricane Katrina, with flood waters rising, people were being told that they could be taken to shelter and receive any care they needed...but certain family members had to be left behind...their beloved pets.
What would you do if you were told you could save yourself but you had to leave a family member or best friend behind to fend for themselves in the face of almost certain death? Could you do that? Would you even consider such an offer? Of course not! But that is exactly the type of decision that many people faced when Hurricane Katrina was bearing down on New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.
In California there is a ranch that has more than 50 big cats in a protected and well secure natural habitat. Animals living there include native mountain lions to African lions, Bengal tigers, cheetahs and pumas. Many of these big cats were pets! It's hard to believe, but true. People thought they could keep and tame a wild, 400 pound tiger as a family pet.
