Read these great reviews:
“This film exposes the grave problems associated with the widespread trade in big cats. These extraordinary creatures are kept as pets, killed in canned hunts, and languishing in roadside zoos and circuses. We need strong laws properly enforced to curb the growth in this underground and often above-ground trade in big cats.” Wayne Pacelle, President & CEO, The Humane Society of the United States
"Thank you for sending the video with the explanation of why your facility exists. Your facility is one of the finest of its kind in the world and serves as a model of what can be done when someone decides to make a difference.
Thanks to your
efforts these beautiful cats will have a chance to live out their lives in peace. Your facility also serves to educate the public about the natural needs of these cats and for this you and your staff are to be commended.
You've given the public a unique opportunity to experience these cats close-up.
I know we both support the cat's continued existence in the wild and I'm certain that your many ambassadors can convince the public this is well worth doing.
Surely there is room in the wild for these magnificent creatures, nature's most perfect predators. However, the support of every visitor to Big Cat Rescue is necessary to ensure that this happens.
All these wild cats want is to be left alone in the wild to live out their lives. It's seems in an increasingly human-dominated planet this is becoming more and more difficult and it is up to humans to leave room and resources for the wild cats that so fascinate and delight our own existence."

The Big Cat Rescue's DVD – The Big Cat Picture can now be found in 10 Hillsborough County Libraries. Big Cat Rescue donated the DVD's to the library system in the hopes of educating patrons to the plight of exotic animals.
The library will be putting a DVD in the John F. Germany Library in downtown Tampa and the remaining copies will go to the Regional and largest libraries. It can be found in the Animal Interest section of the library's DVD Collection. By doing this, the library system hopes to share Big Cat Rescue 's Mission with those residents of Hillsborough County who have not had the opportunity to visit the Sanctuary.
It is our hope to get a copy of The Big Cat Picture DVD into each of the 26 Hillsborough County Libraries. If you would like help us with this goal, by purchasing and donating one or more copies of the DVD, please contact Carole Baskin at makeadifference@bigcatrescue.org
Watch it for free here. The copy you buy is far better quality that what will play online:
Volunteer, Julie Hanan's cat, Sophie loved the Big Cat Picture. Read what Julie said about Sophie's attraction: "I'll bet when you all were putting together "The Big Cat Picture" you had no idea it would even appeal to the domestic cat population. I was playing it at home a few weeks ago and my cat, who has NEVER paid attention to anything on the TV set, came running over and sat watching the whole thing entranced. I just couldn't believe her reaction and had to start snapping these pictures so someone else would believe me. Isn't this weird?" Julie Hanan
