Tiger Slaughter Hell Tiger

Bonnie Ringo
A good friend just gave me a printed solicitation for money, asking to end the Tiger Slaughter Hell.
While I agree with the need to end the private possession of big cats, I am dubious of the person sending out this plea for funds given her history:
Maybe Bonnie Ringo has seen the error of her ways, but I wouldn’t send her any money until that can be proven.

Thank you for this information. I have held off on sending donations because I have seen those pictures also and do not approve of that kind of contact at all (or any picture taking up close and personal!). I don't know the motive. Maybe it is to raise funds to care for the animals and I can sympathize with that much. On the other hand, it may be form of "benign" exploitation. Hard to know long distance, and that is a problem for those of us trying to help. But I like your philosophy and methods much better. I'm sure it is in the best interests of the cats.

HI BCR,YEARS AGO! We were friends of Mrs. Ringo and her husband @ the time she had then only 2 cats, a male lion and a Mt. Lion to my recollection. She then moved to Cave Junction to provide a greater space for the Animals and a safer public location for her then big cats. She cared for them very well and always passionate about them. She did try to bring awareness and promotes for donations, perhaps she has now gotten in way over her head, as she started to take on more animals after her move to Cave Jct. Hoarding animals you cannot feed is NOT good and if this is the case perhaps reaching out to her to help her might be an answer and have a consumption licensing plan in place to limit her intake to scale back her load. I would help her if she stops these questionable practices that are NOT good for the animals and stands against the core of my moral conscience for the Animal Wildlife. Legislation needs to be addressed with these types of wayward people, we must get strict approvals on WILD animals Ranches. Let me know your response! Thank you! k4cats

In addition to the Ringo’s with breeding perhaps she is doing this also as it can be a lucrative business to raise money to feed the cats this was a problem when we knew the Ringo’s they had to find ways to feed the big cats. Perhaps it started out as a rescue and now has become a race to keep it sustainable for her Ranch. Thx again,k4cats

Another additional comments with the Ringo’s as now I am recalling more details just before her move to Cave Jct. I think I am recalling that she purchased 1 or 2 White Tigers as I had visited her ranch in Eagle Point,OR numerous times we lived nearby within 7 miles or so! Neighborhood and County I believe had some issues and concerns with safety and proper sustainability?????? She did have volunteers and I believe with school students, Mrs. Ringo and her husband are great persons when we knew them! Thx again, k4cats
