Conservation for Wild Cats

I spent the day surrounded by wildcats — simply breathtaking. :)  We are working with Big Cat Rescue, gathering reference for new work through numerous hours of study.  We have some fund raising work scheduled for the near future – I will be sure to post about that when plans are fully developed.  Thanks so much to the keepers at Big Cat Rescue for their help!!

The organization is the largest in the world, and they are filled to capacity with rescued felines.  I find it disturbing that a furrier would (and does) sacrifice twenty cats for a small patch of white belly fur to make one fur coat.  One.  Or how someone would think that an African lion would make a nice household pet.  These are things that the Big Cat Rescue is working to change through their education programs.  It is a very worthy cause and deserves support.Rebecca Latham - Wildlife Artist
