Black Jaguar White Tiger Foundation isn't the magically, heavenly paradise for big cats like everyone seems to assume.
|Does he mean well? Yes. Are the animals in a better place than they came from? Yes (for the most part). But |that does not absolve him from criticism in the dangerous way that he interacts with the animals, which |perpetuates a LOT of bad thinking in the public. It doesn’t absolve him from feeding a substandard diet (of |ONLY chicken necks; these cats need a variety of meats and parts of the carcass to have a balanced diet). It |doesn’t absolve him from not preventing breeding, from keeping the cats in dangerous close conditions, from |allowing the public to come and experience these dangerous conditions, from his immature and |unprofessional behavior, or from the heavily suspected declawing of one of his cats. He’s not as bad as a |circus owner, but he talks a big game for someone who’s been in the field for only a year, is a bankruptcy |waiting to happen because he doesn’t say no, and REFUSES to take any suggestions or criticism from people |who have been at it longer than he has and could give him a chance to grow and be better. He refuses to |change, and his inability to try and fix his problematic practices that endanger so many cats and people, AND |hurt his cause is what I fault him for. I am a critical consumer of media and outspoken for animal welfare. |And his practices are a disaster waiting to happen.
He's got a lot of issues, and probably won't be around a long time. And then what to do you think is going to happen to all the cats he's hoarding at his facility?
