I have taken it upon myself to ask all our fans to please support me in this mission to help Turpentine Creek Refuse in Arkansas rescue and save the remaining tigers,lions ,leopards and all other big cats that remain with owner Betty Young a ageing breeder that is no longer able to maintain and care for these animals that she has breed for many years.

I have done some digging and in the late 90's she had over 30 something cubs born at her facility so for her to claim she was only a rescue and we see now that she has bought and sold tigers all over the world. It is truly sad to know that for years these animals have given to her in the way of producing cubs but she could not give then the life that they so deserved makes me very angry. So this is why I want all of us to do what we can to get these remaining animals out of her care and into a place where they will be loved and looked after until the end of their days. Turpentine Creek Refuge was called in by the local police to take in these animals . This is asking a lot considering the amount of funding it will take to finish this mission. Please join with me and support them by pledging to do what you can to get the word out to all your friends. These animals lives are at stake.

I sincerely wish all humans to care and feel for all animals and environment seriously because Eco-balance is the prime factor for our survival as well. In my small forest resort near Lucknow, India I try to rehabilitate many, wild animals, serpents, birds, dogs and insects in a most natural and protected manner. Its a matter of attitude how much one observes and cares for other living beings. We all have to rise above selfish motives and evolve ourselves to greater human values; instead of just some lip service and a lot of noisy sloganism.

Exactly, and though such corporate culture spreads consumerism and to feed this flame is addiction to materialism. Because of this attitude the more I know of such men, the more I love my DOG.

I agree totally! Animals are so in touch(balance)with nature, and the rhythm we should be following and respecting. We could learn so much from them, if we would slow down and pay attention!

I WOULDn't KILL ANY ANIMAL. ITS HARTLESS!

As with so many wonderful creatures and habitats, we have permitted and contributed far too heavily to their demise. It's time to turn things around and protect and save these magnificent animals and their ever so important habitats. Like it or not, we ARE the stewards of this planet. There is no room for arrogance, greed nor lethargy. We need to do a better job!
