“Simba, the tiger rescued from a horribly abusive circus,” that’s a name you won’t soon forget after today’s visit to Big Cat Rescue. Big Cat Rescue stands as one of the largest accredited sanctuaries globally. It dedicates itself to abused and abandoned big cats.
Established in 2008, Big Cat Rescue’s mission encompasses providing a sanctuary for cats. Their mission is to end big cat abuse in captivity. They also work to prevent the extinction of big cats in the wild. It’s more than just a rescue.
Big Cat Rescue houses 80+ lions, tigers, bobcats, cougars and other species. Many were abandoned or abused. Some were orphaned or saved from becoming fur coats. Others retired from performing acts.
What sets Big Cat Rescue apart? They aim to stop the abuse at its source. They want to end private possession and trade in exotic cats. This is achieved through legislation and education. They also expose those who mistreat these animals.
True tiger sanctuaries never buy or sell animals. They don’t breed, exploit, or profit from them. Authentic sanctuaries avoid separating babies from their mothers. They do not hand-rear them. No deprivation or punishment is used to control them. They don’t force fearful animals into contact with strangers.
Big Cat Rescue provides large natural habitats. These habitats allow for roaming and normal behaviors. The sanctuary protects the cats from harassment. PETA has worked with Big Cat Rescue in Tampa. They have retired big cats rescued from abusive operations.
