Big Cat Updates

Alexa Flash News Briefing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2Su2dF08CM

Coordinator Report – Sue Messineo

It was a breezy day with spurts of rain. The cats are still locked in their roofed sections. Volunteers and Interns had feeding, cleaning and food prep done by 12:30. Interns got Thurston and Lovies front two bubbles of their enclosure all cleaned up. All picky cats ate like champs today.

URGENT ACTION ALERT

URGENT! Please sign our Action Alert and help us save wild tigress Avni (T1) and her 2 young cubs in India. We’ve heard that today the government has brought in dogs to locate her and then she will likely be kllled. #LetAvniLive

NOTE: Even if you already signed a petition for this PLEASE join this one as it is different than the one a couple days ago!

It is very important that big cat lovers let government officials in India know that the world is watching and that there are thousands of us who want Avni’s life spared. Please take action NOW as time is running out to save this wild tigress!

Avni (pictured here), her two young cubs and her mate are in grave danger. Avni is a young tigress who lives in the western forests of India with her cubs and her mate T2. She lives in an area where illegal cattle grazing and human encroachment of the forest land are rampant.

The government is alleging that 13 people found dead in the forest in the last 2 years have died from attacks by Avni, even though DNA reports show signs of a tiger attack in only one of the cases. Avni has been labeled a “man-eater” or “marked tiger” while there is no solid proof or evidence of her killing those humans.

We’ve been told courts in India have given the directive to state forest officials to eliminate her. A notorious hunter has been hired by the state to hunt her down.

Can we count on you to speak up for Avni and her cubs?

Cameron hiding in the grass. He was ignoring his keepers, as usual, but had to peek around and make sure their attention was still focused on him. What a silly boy.
