Ban Private Possession of Big Cats by Ira Fischer

Jan. 10, 2013 - PRLog -- Ban Private Possession of Big Cats by Ira Fischer has been published by Wildcat Haven - an accredited sanctuary whose mission is to provide a safe, natural lifetime home for captive-born wildcats in need. The article is an expose into the secretive world of individuals that harbor exotic cats - - such as lions and tigers - - as pets. The article aims to increase awareness of the suffering and abuse endured by wildcats as a result of being held in captivity. It spotlights the implications of captivity on the welfare of these animals and the public safety issues resulting from raising some of the world’s most dangerous animals as pets. The article notes that repeated tragedies between humans and captive big cats underscore the need for passage of the Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act, which was introduced into the U.S. Senate by Senator John Kerry (D-MA) subsequent to the publication of Born To Be Wild and Free by Ira Fischer.
