I must say, after visiting her place, I would not recommend anyone going there! The animals are not being cared for! The prisons they live in are so horrible and need repair! The next thing we will hear of this place will be an animal escape or a human death!

Below is a link to a video done at Big Cat Rescue’s Ms. where its is obvious these Cougars are their pets, and not animals that have been abused and neglected as Caole Lewis Baskin would have people believe.

Those Cougars have no fear of humans and are declawed. Please be careful before you donate to a facility where lies and deceit are used to raise funds.

Carole needs to come clean about what she is actually doing. I don’t know how many people have given her their animals without knowing that she is their arch-enemy, and I don’t know how many people realize that she has made the HSUS, an organization that hires terrorists and sponsors terrorism (a bit indirectly but it’s there) the boss of the so-called wildlife commission in Florida. There is nothing that she has done in about the last five years that is totally above board.

She was doing better when she was “exploiting” even if it wasn’t so great. Her exploitation now is actually far worse.

Carole Lewis Baskin knows all about animals ‘bred for lives in captivity’ as she bred and sold many of the smaller exotic cats in private homes today at her Big Cat ‘Rescue’ Scamtuary (formerly Wildlife On Easy Street) as you can see in this advertisement for her book, “Exotic Cats As House Pets.”

The fact is that these animals actually do make ‘loving and trusting house pets’ as she herself states below and she will tell you that she only sold her cats to responsible owners. So what is the problem? Should responsible owners of exotics be denied something Carole herself promoted and enjoyed for many years? The ad below is Carole’s. We have updated the website address and phone numbers so that you too can order your copy of this informative book.

That’s my question. If it is so cruel for an animal to live captive then why doesn’t Carole do the humane thing and put all of hers out of their misery? Could it be it actually is possible for a captive animal to be happy?

Thes laws are definitely meant to harm the animals and their owners who if they have to move may have to give up their animals or euthanzie them. By the way Carole what are your 150 plus cats seeing life as at your so called sanctuary especially the ones you yourself bred there?
These laws are also giving Carole Baskin what she wants to be a celebrity.

Those laws are meant to harm animals and make Carole Baskin rich. I have a day of awakening for you, Carole.

Those who wish to pet and baby wild animals “love” them. But those who respect their natures and wish to let them live normal lives, love them more. ~Edwin Way Teale, Circle of the Seasons, 1953

Legislation cannot change the heart, but it can restrain the heartless. ~Martin Luther King

These laws are not to harm the animals, but to stop the dirty trade in them in the only ways that are possible. If people were to wake up tomorrow and see life through the eyes of the animals they have bred for lives of captivity, they would not need laws to restrain them from causing more pain. Until that day of awakening comes, we must rely on our government to stop the suffering, abuse and abandonment.
