I live two miles from Big Cat Rescue.
I’ve donated to their fundraisers and have been to some of their events.
The facility uses volunteers who devote their time taking care of the variety of big cats on site. I’ve spoken with some of them who have been doing this got years. No small feat given the Tampa heat and humidity.
I have met both Carole and her daughter Jamie. To describe them both as odd and eccentric is an understatement. I do, however, admire the job they’ve done in their quest to rescue big cats. From what I have seen, the criticism from Eric Goode is not warranted.
The animals that I have seen looked well cared for and the facility spends quite a bit of money on rehabilitating many of the big cats that they bring in.
Not sure how many of you have seen a tiger up close when they are standing on their back legs but it is a very impressive sight. They are huge!
