I agree and am disgusted that a rescue could even think of this!

IT MATTERS BECAUSE:
"THE LIVE DOMESTIC RABBITS ARE BEING TORTURED AND KILLED FOR NO GOOD REASON".

Live feeding protocols are outdated & barbaric and the feeding of Live Domestic Rabbits is Not advised or recommended by Any Wildlife Educa.

Continuing Educational Courses are available that teach Ethically Rehabbing Bobcats without live feeds; yet BCR Tampa Continues to unnecessarily torture and kill Live Domestic Rabbits, Rats & Turkeys while proclaiming that vicious wild predators need humans to teach them how to hunt and kill. Factually an instinctive behavior does not have to be learned; rather, it is fully functional the first time it is performed and wild animals have developed these survival instincts that make human intervention unnecessary. Survival instincts are hard wired into the brain, just like they are in domestic animals and humans.

IMPRINTING:
The length of time that it takes a wild bobcat to become imprinted to humans or domestic pets is extraordinarily short and the care at wildlife facilities should be for the shortest time possible. Human scent should be masked with very limited human interaction. According to BCR they often use domestic cats to nurse baby bobcats allowing them to continue to play together after weaning, the workers are seen in photos and videos interacting with the bobcats who are housed indoors instead of in a natural setting where they are playing with toys and sleeping in blankets.

It normally takes 6-8 months for bobcat rehab, however BCR Tampa states that it takes them 1 yr to 18 months to raise and/or release a bobcat. BCR claims to have released 6 bobcats since the year 2003, which is an extremely low success rate. How many bobcats have been taken in and died at this facility since 2003 that claims to be experts in bobcat rehab? Does this facility attend continued learning classes to stay updated on proper rehab procedures?

Many wildlife facilities successfully raise, rehab & release hundreds of bobcats without live feeding which proves this intentional cruel practice is completely unnecessary.
Linda Sue has publically offered to take up a collection to pay for Carole Baskin to attend updated training courses; however this offer has not been acknowledged and instead this barbaric animal cruelty continues….
