No Holiday for Tony the Truck Stop Tiger

 

The Louisiana Supreme Court denied a petition to overturn the decision in favor of the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s ongoing case to protect Tony, the tiger confined at Grosse Tete, Louisiana’s Tiger Truck Stop.  “Nearly three years after we asked the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries not to issue a permit to the Tiger Truck Stop, the highest court in the state has declined to prolong this case further. We call upon the Department to do the right thing and send Tony to a reputable sanctuary, before we face another tiger tragedy.” said Matthew Liebman, senior attorney for the Animal Legal Defense Fund.

Unfortunately, it appears that despite this ruling on Oct 7, 2013 Tony the tiger still awaits the government to take action in getting him to an appropriate home.

We will continue to monitor this situation and keep you posted.

Big Claws Little Cat

 

Sandcat-Canyon_27  AdvoCat 2013 12 Sandcat Canyon 27

Canyon the sand cat has trouble keeping his claws short and trimmed. He doesn’t scratch on his logs and trees as much as he used to and because of this his claws become overgrown.

Sandcat-CanyonUTI-08  AdvoCat 2013 12 Sandcat CanyonUTI 08

Big Cat Rescue volunteer veterinarian Dr. Wynn sedated Canyon this past week to do a physical exam, draw blood for routine testing and to trim is claws.

 

Sandcat-CanyonUTI-09  AdvoCat 2013 12 Sandcat CanyonUTI 09

Canyon’s overall body condition was great and his blood work looked good with just mild kidney elevations that are to be expected of a cat his age. Canyon is 13 years old, which is the average lifespan of captive sand cats. You wouldn’t know it to look at him though, he is the picture of health and vitality.

Canyon was returned to his enclosure shortly after he awoke. His keepers have installed a special scratching post that will hopefully be irresistible to the 6.8 pound cat so that he can maintain his claws on his own.

 

Senator Stands Up for Mountain Lions

 

Nebraska Senator Ernie Chambers fired a warning shot Friday to let the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission know he will oppose every proposal it brings to the Legislature as long as it allows mountain lions to be hunted.  Chambers told Roger Kuhn, parks division administrator, he had expressed his “displeasure, repugnance and disgust” to Game and Parks Director James Douglas over the establishment of a mountain lion hunting season. There are only thought to be 60 mountain lions in the state.  He had told him to take the message to the commission that he would strenuously oppose any proposal as long as the hunting season continues.”By fang and claw, somebody’s going to pay in terms of the Legislature’s time,” he said. “And I don’t mind being alone. In fact, that energizes me.”

Don’t you wish all our lawmakers were so kind to animals?  Make sure your Senator and Representative have co-sponsored the Big Cats and Public Safety Act.

You made a dream come true for the big cats when you donated to the 2.5 ac Vacation Rotation enclosure, but now the smaller cats are wondering if you love them too? Cougars, bobcats, servals, caracals and other exotic cats are referred to as Lesser Cats, but Lesser Cats need More room to run too. We will be using the area that you see in the video, but it needs totally different walls to keep the small cats in, so we have to rebuild from scratch. We set a deadline of Valentine’s Day as a way of asking you to show your love for the little wild cats too.

Funding the Lesser Cat Vacation Rotation enclosure means our Leopards, cougars, and exotic cats other than the lions and tigers can have their own big open space to run, play, swim and watch the birds and stars overhead with no cage wire obstructing their view.  YOU can make their holiday wishes come true here:

What About the Littlest Cats?

 

On December 18th, the Hillsborough BOCC will FINALLY consider changing the local ordinances to finally allow the TNVR of healthy cats out of Hillsborough County Animal Services, instead of euthanizing them, which is what Hillsborough County has been doing up til now. This is it!!!

With your help, we’ve asked, pushed, yelled and demanded that the government end this senseless killing and we need your help one again. Please sign the petition at http://www.change.org/petitions/hillsborough-board-of-county-commissioners-vote-to-amend-the-ordinances-to-allow-be-the-way-home-to-be-implemented and/or email CommunityCats@hillsboroughcounty.org to let them know you support TNVR. Please use this email address and not the individual BOCC members addresses. They asked us to do this, and we are trying to comply.

PLEASE SHOW YOUR SUPPORT AND ATTEND THE DECEMBER 18TH MEETING IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. We’ll be outside with signs for everyone.

Jeanine Cohen and Gretchyn Melde Directors Cat Crusaders

 

Not sure what to write in your email? There’s a sample below-

 

Amend the Ordinance to Allow Healthy Cats to be TNVR’d out of HCAS.

 

Dear Hillsborough BOCC,

 

You recognized the need to save more animal lives from the county shelter when you passed the “Be the Way Home” plan May 1, 2013. Now you need to keep your word and implement the plan. The only way to do this is to amend the local ordinances to allow the healthy cats to be TNVR’d out of HCAS. Please have the courage to do what is correct and vote to amend the ordinances.

 

Sincerely,

XXXX
