The word he is thinking of when he sais your on the other side of a sanctuary is a HELL HOLE!
I just watched the Tiger Next Door. It reminded me that we go to a cabin near you and can hear the cats at night. I’ve always thought that was cool but then forgot soon thereafter. I am going to make a point to visit because I would love to see these beautiful creatures being treated like…well not like they should be. Because ideally they should be free. But it would be nice to see them loved and cared for the way they should always have been.
My God, why are people even allowed to own big cats? It’s so incredibly ridiculous to me. Why aren’t there laws in place in EVERY state to prevent people from privately owning these animals? Animals that are meant to be free and LIVE free, yet are confined to a life most miserable…what humans beings, in some instances, have done to these animals will come back to haunt those that have perpetrated injustices against these beautiful creatures.
He should have been fed to those starving cats.
