The Vital Importance of “Rewilding Cheetahs” Please *Join *Support and *Share

The Earth’s Cheetah Population is in peril.

22555098_1758536877779864_7291343572810415383_n

Today the number of Cheetahs that remain have dwindled down to less then 9,000. Some stating their numbers could be as low as 7,500 that remain in the wild.

The cheetah is now restricted to a mere 9% of their historic range. Thankfully however, there are some legit orgs., projects, and people who are on the ground working endlessly trying to keep these numbers stable and from dwindling any further. Such Organizations that need the recognition and support so they can continue to do what they can for the last Cheetahs that grace this Earth. 

One in particular known as The Running Wild Cheetah Conservation whose Goal is to Rescue, Research, Rehabilitate, Rewild, Repopulate, Repatriate, Retire,  and Release the Cheetah.

Description:

Running Wild Conservation is a new Non Profit Organisation dedicated to the responsible breeding, rewilding and releasing of Cheetah. We will also be a forever home for permanently injured and old retired cheetah.We are in the process of establishing a new reserve and sanctuary where cheetah will roam free again and where retired or permanently injured cheetah can grow old in spacious camps, away from public interactions.

Their Mission ~ To repopulate small non-predator reserves with strong and healthy cheetah.
With less than 9000 cheetahs left worldwide the urgency to repopulate the dwindling numbers has become apparent. This is the main objective behind the Running Wild Foundation. With a combined ten years experience in breeding cheetah for the sole purpose of reintroduction we strive to return the Southern African Cheetah population back to a self-sustaining number of individuals. By using our hunting training regime and post release monitoring efforts we ensure the ultimate survival rate for these cats. Research and education play a huge role in future reintroduction objectives and these points are focused on at the project. With a combined effort from different breeders and conservation organizations we can bring the cheetah back from the brink of extinction.

India is failing its Royal Bengal Tigers – Maharashtra’s Tigers dying from Deliberate Electrocution

Posted by greatcatsoftheworld on November 9, 2017
Posted in: Uncategorized. 1 Comment
Please listen to the following INTERVIEW concerning the latest Genocide that is happening with India’s Tigers.
Dr. Sarita Subramaniam and Dr. Jerryl Banait discuss the latest deaths of Maharashtra’s Tigers
The state of Maharashtra which has the lowest population of Tigers has become known as a place where the Tigers are falling victim to “deliberate” Electrocution and nothing is being done to stop this, and/or prevent more deaths to India’s Schedule 1 Royal Bengal Tigers…
6 TIGERS have recently been reported dying from being electrocuted.
3 TIGERS have been electrocuted in the past month.
2 TIGERS of which were collared.
(Keeping in mind these are only Tigers that have been monitored….not to mention those that have died that we have not heard about)
India your negligence towards your National Animal is appalling and beyond heartbreaking as the World sits and watches “You” let your Royal Bengal Tigers become Extinct before our eyes…
It is time you start prosecuting those that are guilty of killing these Tigers.
What are you waiting for…..
Via –  Sarita Subramaniam 
 What hope do we have from the ’Forest Minister if he can’t protect Tigers in his own constituency?

Maybe he should focus less on developing tourism in the 20% of the park and instead work for the well-being of Tigers in the remaining 80% of the forests in the State.

Ustad (T24) CONTINUES TO BE HARASSED IN CAPTIVITY. PLEASE SHARE AND TAKE ACTION

Posted by greatcatsoftheworld on April 3, 2017

*************PLEASE READ AND TAKE ACTION*****************

Apparently VIPs visit Ustad daily and they are making him move towards people by banging on saucepans or whatever which then makes him absolutely terrified and angry….
Ustad is in an enclosure way away from general public – no entry sign
He at times is so far away, all that can be seen by the visual eye are his stripes – His enclosure stretches enough that from a distance a person would need binoculars to see him.
To get his attention however or to make him come out to be viewed it was stated that at one point “they” started banging saucepans and made him terrified and hence really angry!!!!
and I quote “And when angry being a wild tiger was very frightening And then he went back to the bottom again where we couldn’t see him” …..
So this folks is what has been happening to Ustad ~ While many of us were under the impression that he was not being disturbed by anyone ….let only VIPs!!!!!

THE FOLLOWING IS A SAMPLE LETTER YOU CAN USE , OR YOU CAN USE IT AS A GUIDELINE TO SEND YOUR OWN:

Dear Sir/Madame,

Recently, we managed to get someone in to see Ustad, and it was easier than we thought.

It seems that special VIPS are getting in to see Ustad on a daily basis. But what was witnessed is both awful and disgraceful behavior under the authority of Ms V Raje and the Rajasthan Government. This email will also be sent to the Central Zoo Authority.

1. As you are aware he is in an open area away from the public, yet if you are known you can get to see him.
2. The enclosure is far to small for a tiger that was once wild.
3. He only has a water trough to cool down in, he cannot swim.
4. They stated that he has a digestive problems and can’t eat bones. Tigers do not eat bones in the wild and shouldn’t be expected to eat them in the zoo, obviously the food is inadequate. He is only being fed Chicken, which is bad for all big cats, they need red meat. Ustad is also forced to consume pumpkin soup, in the wild Ustad would find a plant for digestive problems. Pumpkin causes diarrhea which in turn will cause weight loss and add to his medical problem.
5. While said particular person(s) was there, Ustad was asleep and out of sight but what they did was bang heavily on saucepans, make loud noises to purposely wake him and causing him so much stress and anger until he runs snarling towards visitors so they can get a look at him!
This is mental cruelty, again as in the wild, all for a photograph. Not to mention stress is one of the factors that will trigger his health problems, and this would cause it to be worse….
6. The Rajasthan Forest Commission make all the decisions on Ustad, obviously they are continuing to make bad decisions concerning his health and mental well being. This is unacceptable and no animal should be forced (by stress or anger or fright) to become a public display like they are doing with Ustad.
This behavior is unethical and Violates ALL standards of welfare, that Ustad is being forced to live in.
* Teasing, feeding or disturbing the animals in a zoo and littering the zoo premises is an offense punishable by a fine of Rs. 25000 or imprisonment of up to three years or both. Section 38J, Wildlife (Protection) Act India, 1972

We request that something is done to stop this ill treatment of Ustad immediately. We understand that after two years he cannot go back into the wild, but we are requesting that he is removed from Rajasthan for the sake of his own health and well being.
He is still being used as a pawn except now, its easier to tease and annoy him in captivity than it was in the wild.

This barbaric cruel behavior that has recently come to light has shocked the public internationally and it is time that something right is done on behalf of this Schedule 1 Tiger.
Please remove him from the terrible circumstances of Sajjangarh Biological Park and place him where he can serve the rest of his years in the peace that he deserves.
Ustad has paid his whole life bringing in money for tourism and subjected to humans, it is time he gets back the peace and comfort that was taken away from him.

Sincerely yours,
Name
Country

Names Needed please sign ~Ringling Brothers – Do the Right Thing and Retire Your Animals to TRUE Sanctuaries

Posted by greatcatsoftheworld on February 2, 2017
Posted in: Uncategorized. Leave a comment

https://www.change.org/p/feld-entertainment-and-ringling-brothers-do-the-right-thing-and-retire-your-animals-in-true-sanctuaries?recruiter=1306672&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=autopublish&utm_term=des-md-share_petition-no_msg

Kellie Heckman Washington, DC

Like many, when I heard about the end of the Ringling Brothers touring circus, my first reaction was exhilaration. But as executive director of Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS), my mind quickly turned to the question “Where are all the animals going?”

Right now, thousands of animals are being trained to entertain for profit, bred to provide cub petting opportunities, and forced to “live” in shameful conditions.

That’s why I’m worried that Ringling’s tigers, camels, and other newly retired performing animals will soon end up in disreputable roadside zoos, private homes, pseudo-sanctuaries and even more circuses.

None of these can rightfully be called a true “sanctuary.” These animals will continue to be treated as property and used for exhibition and entertainment.

Please sign our petition to call on Ringling to do the right thing and retire its performing animals to accredited sanctuaries.

Juliette Feld of Ringling states “our commitment to all of our animals is for our lifetime,” and that it needs to find “suitable homes …”

I agree. This is an opportunity for the lions, tigers, camels, donkeys, alpacas, kangaroos, llamas and other animals to live out the remainder of their lives in true sanctuaries offering the highest quality of care in settings that best support their natural needs and behaviors. Ringling’s animals deserve a REAL retirement – not more abuse in circuses and roadside zoos.

GFAS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that was founded in 2007 to fulfill a need to differentiate and support animal sanctuaries that not only provide high-quality care for the animals but also engage in sustainable financial and governance practices. We fulfill this need as the only recognized international sanctuary accreditation program.

I am asking Feld Entertainment, the parent company of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, to prioritize retiring their animals at GFAS-accredited sanctuaries. All 132 of our accredited care facilities in the United States have undergone a rigorous assessment and meet our Standards of Excellence. These Standards include valuable animal-specific guidelines for the proper space, enclosure, diet and social needs; they also offer general information for promoting organizational health and sustainability such as proper governance; safety training and protocols; financial practices; and outreach.

I hope that Ringling lives up to its responsibility to place its retired animals in “suitable homes” with the same resolve that kept them in business for 146 years. Prioritizing the placement of retired animals in certified sanctuaries offers a monumental opportunity to set a positive example for all the entertainment community with a decision to do what is right for the many that have served them over the years.

I applaud Ringling for its landmark announcement. Now Ringling must take the responsible next step by placing these animals in accredited sanctuaries. So please join me by signing this petition to urge Feld Entertainment to retire animals in GFAS-certified sanctuaries.

Ringling needs to do the right thing. These animals deserve it.

From the USFWS website
“Leopard (Panthera pardus): Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Kenya, and Uganda.
Petition History
On July 26, 2016, we received a petition dated July 25, 2016, from The Humane Society of the United States and the Fund for Animals, requesting that the leopard be reclassified as endangered throughout its range under the Act. The petition clearly identified itself as such and included the requisite identification information for the petitioner, required at 50 CFR 424.14(a). This finding addresses the petition.
Finding
Based on our review of the petition and sources cited in the petition, we find that the petition presents substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that reclassifying the leopard (Panthera pardus) as endangered throughout its range may be warranted, based on Factors A, B, D, and E (for a listing of the factors, see (2) under Request for Information for Status Reviews, above). However, during our status review, we will thoroughly evaluate all potential threats to the species, including the extent to which any protections or other conservation efforts have reduced those threats. Thus, for this species, the Service requests any information relevant to whether the species falls within the definition of an endangered species under section 3(6) of the Act, including information on the five listing factors under section 4(a)(1) and any other factors identified in this finding.”

CHRISTIAN, DiCAPRIO, GEORGE ADAMSON WILDLIFE PRESERVATION TRUST, WORKING FOR ANIMALS, TIGERS, FIAPO

High res Ace and Christian Ace with Christian, 1972. Photograph courtesy GAWPT.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTIAN

Christian was born on the 12th August 1969 in an unprepossessing and long closed down zoo in Ilfracombe, Devon, UK. Who could have imagined after five generations of captivity in Europe, he would be returned to Africa, and be successfully rehabilitated by George Adamson of Born Free fame?

For those unfamiliar with Christian’s story, see his website alioncalledchristian.com.au.

I am most often asked what happened to Christian. No-one knows. Christian was last seen by George Adamson in early 1973 when he was nearly four years old and was growing into one of the largest lions George had ever seen. He had survived the most dangerous years, although life as an adult lion would also always be very challenging. George thought he was looking for a territory of his own, away from the aggressive local lions of Kora.

On #WorldLionDay Tragedy has struck the 4 Remaining Musketeer #DesertLions Urgent Help and Support Needed

Posted by greatcatsoftheworld on August 10, 2016
Posted in: Uncategorized. 2 Comments

There are a little over 100 Desert Lions that remain today.

On #WorldLionDay Tragedy has struck the 4 Remaining Musketeers (Desert Lions)

In June of this year, Musketeer Harry was shot and killed by farmers due to HWC (Human Wildlife Conflict)

Today news is coming in regarding the 4 Musketeers that remain…..

They are NO LONGER and this again is because of HWC.

HWC is a reality and it needs to be controlled and the only way it can be is if people come together for these Lions so that funds are raised for Kaarl/Bomas, collars, solar lights with sirens to keep controlling the HUMAN LION CONFLICT

If it is was not bad enough that these 5 brothers lost the 1st Musketeer (Harry who was shot and killed this past June by farmers) they have to try and survive in one of the most harshest places on Earth ~ The Namib Desert , while dealing with farmers and their cattle which are pretty much taking over any place where there are lions today.
News coming in today that 3 of the remaining 4 musketeers have been poisoned by Farmers and their bodies and their satellite collars have been burnt….
The remaining Musketeer Xpl-93  has now been relocated to a different area, and I cannot imagine how he will grieve for his brothers not to mention adjust and able to survive in unknown territory…..

For more on this terrible tragedy coming in today please see the Desert Lion Website : http://www.desertlion.info/news.html

HOW CAN YOU HELP???

Funds are needed desperately to help with HWC

Please help and support these DesertLions  via Paypal.

Just got to your Paypal account and then this e-mail, amount and purpose enter “Desert Lions”
SpotsandStripescon@hotmail.co.uk

Every donation no matter how small or how much will go directly to funding for the Desert Lion/HumanWildlifeConflict.

Thank you !

~ Do not cut down the forests with its tigers and do not banish the tigers from the forest.
The tiger perishes without the forest, and the forest perishes without its tigers.
Therefore the tigers should stand guard over the forest
and the forest should protect all its tigers. ~

From the Mahabharata,
Udyogaparvan, 29, 47-48 (circa 400 B.C.E.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The tiger lives in a world of sunlight and shadow
Always secretive–never devious
Always a killer–never a murderer
Solitary–never alone
For it is an irreplaceable link
In the process and the wholeness of life

Lambert the Lion at In-Sync Exotic Cats

I hope you liked my first post. I’m kinda new at this blog stuff so it may take me a while to get the hang of it. Learning to skateboard was a lot easier than this. Of course I skateboard, but that’s another story.

Today I’d like to tell you what my day is like at In-Sync. At 7:00 AM I get a wake-up call and someone brings me breakfast sandwiches at 7:30. Only kidding. I eat at night. And not sandwiches. I usually eat 2 lbs. of ground meat. Like 8 Quarter-Pounders but no lettuce, pickles onions or sesame seed bun.

During the day I can really do whatever makes me happy. I can play, sleep or simply relax and watch all the goings-on around me. I can spend time in my den, on my den, outside my den, on the playground or IN MY POOL! It’s really up…

That Big Rise in Tiger Numbers? It Was a WWF Fantasy.

strange behaviors

(Photo: Jim Cook/Getty Images) (Photo: Jim Cook/Getty Images)

My latest for Takepart.com:

Lately, media worldwide have been frothy with happy talk about an unexpected increase in populations of the endangered tiger, with the global count suddenly up from 3,200 to 3,890. The World Wildlife Fund and the Global Tiger Forum reported the result based on a tally of recent counts by government agencies and conservation groups.

The announcement predictably produced headlines everywhere that tiger populations were on the rise for the first time in 100 years. Even National Geographic and the BBC sang along, in tune: “Tiger Numbers Rise for First Time in a Century.”

There was only one problem: The news was a publicity-friendly confection of nonsense and wishful thinking, unsupported by any published science.

Instead, the timing of the announcement had everything to do with politics: It came the day before the scheduled opening of the Asia Ministerial Conference on Tiger…

Fire the rangers who killed Mohawk the lion!

Posted by greatcatsoftheworld on April 2, 2016

Please share share share share….Keep sharing everything about Mohawk. ‪#‎JusticeforMohawk‬

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/364/667/144/…

petition: Fire the rangers who tortured and killed Mohawk the lion!
Mohawk the lion was tormented for hours before being shot and killed by Kenya Wildlife Service rangers….
thepetitionsite.com
 Mohawk the lion was tormented for hours before being shot and killed by Kenya Wildlife Service rangers. The trigger-happy Kenya Wildlife Services officers responsible for his death must face justice for murdering Mohawk!

Mohawk was spotted 20 miles away from his home in a national park early Wednesday morning. This 13-year-old male lion was a beloved national treasure who had simply wandered out of the park and instead of being tranquilized and transported safely back home, Mohawk was stoned by a crowd of locals and local law enforcement for more than 2 hours and then killed.

It took Kenya Wildlife Services hours to arrive, even though Mohawk had not traveled far from the park. When the first team of rangers did get there, it was with rifles in hand, but no tranquilizers or other means of humanely subduing Mohawk. The second team with tranquilizers were still on their way when Mohawk was instead shot and killed.

Mohawk was a wild animal, but he calmly endured the horrendous treatment of stoning and spearing for over two hours from the raucous crowd that had gathered. When he finally escaped his tormentors, the KWS officers shot him 9 times because they didn’t have tranquilizers.

In footage of the scene, rangers shoot Mohawk a few times and he is seen limping and falling, his back legs clearly debilitated. He is lying on the ground, no danger to anyone when rangers shot him again and killed him. Demand justice for Mohawk!

Mohawk was well known, featured in travel magazines and visited by admirers from all over the world. Instead of humanely tranquilizing Mohawk and bringing him back to the park, reckless and unprepared KWS officers senselessly shot and killed him. These rangers must be fired for cruelty to animals – their whole job is to protect animals like Mohawk and they have failed miserably.


Tell Kenya Wildlife Services to fire the officers who killed Mohawk and properly train and equip all other officers to humanely provide for animal safety.

Demand for an inquisition into Mohawk’s Killing

Posted by greatcatsoftheworld on April 2, 2016
Posted in: Uncategorized. Leave a comment

#JusticeforMohawk

KUAPO Trust

DEMAND FOR INQUISITION INTO #‎MOHAWK‘S KILLING

Kenyans United Against Poaching (KUAPO Trust) along with several other organisations and Kenyans are demanding that an inquisition be held into the events that led to the killing of Mohawk. We believe that his death is symptomatic of the systemic issues within the Kenya Wildlife Service specifically around human-wildlife conflict and problem animal control. Furthermore, we believe that concerted efforts need to be made to secure the broader Nairobi National Park ecosystem for the safety of both our wildlife and our human population.

We share the outrage of Kenya and world citizens at the senseless killing of Mohawk as well as the avoidable injury to the motorcyclist. Mohawk’s death must not be in vain. We must learn from this experience and ensure that such a situation is not repeated again. For this a proper understanding of the events is required to reform…

~ As WE Continue to Take Action for T-24 Ustad ~

Posted by greatcatsoftheworld on January 18, 2016
Posted in: Uncategorized. 2 Comments

Even tho Ustad’s court case was “dismissed” last week, it does not mean we stop Fighting for him.
If anything we have to Fight harder. If we Stop now, then he goes Silent. If Ustad goes Silent ~ then all hope is lost….

For those of Us who live outside India, We must keep up the pressure “Internationally” as much and as hard as we can. We must continue to share his Story everywhere. We must not stop Trying to Fight for “Justice 4 Ustad”.

The Online Action will continue as always which has been suggested in the past, and new ideas and initiatives will be added as time goes on.
The major factor right now is that Ustad’s health is not in jeopardy and it is imperative that we know what is going on with him. Without a healthy and stable Ustad , there is no chance of him having his Freedom back.

Please read carefully the *following ways you can Continue to take Action for him.
*Please note if you ever get a reply via email through one of the courses of Action, please post your reply here. Thank you

*Action 1.
Emailing the Rajasthan Government here at:
virendra.bankawat@rajasthan.gov.in
Requesting that Ustad’s health be restored and then released and monitored.
The Zoo and it’s conditions,the small enclosure, the food Ustad is eating is making him ill. Freedom and a natural environment and close monitoring is what is needed for him. Please keep the emails going out for him. As long as he is there , it is vital that we stay on of this.

*Action 2.
Sajjangarh Biological Park , as you all know by now has a FB page. It is suggested that you go to their page , Give them a *1Star rating requesting immediate improvement and *Update of Ustad’s conditions and health.
The FB page is as follows :
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sajjangarh-Biological-Park/1661059877470068

*Action 3.
Emailing Sajjangarh Biological Park.
I have searched high and low for a Twitter Id but it seems that they do not have one. *If someone does find it please post it !
I did how ever find their email address so again please email them! Asking them to improve Ustad’s conditions so he does not fall ill again. This park violates all standards and ethics for it’s animals and it is up to us to keep on them , to make sure Ustad does not fall Victim to this park.
Their email ID is as follows:
sajjangarhbiologicalpark@gmail.com
*Another way to contact them is through their website here at :
http://www.sajjangarhbiologicalpark.com/contact-us.html

You all by now know what Ustad has gone through since he has been kept in Captivity at Sajjangarh, Just write with your hearts, that is all that is asked of you please.

*Action 4.
Please continue to Tweet from the following Tweet-Sheets.
~The Original Sheet (For those of you who are able to tweet this sheet out or copy and past)
https://sites.google.com/site/helpustad/

~ The Second Action Tweet-Sheet for Ustad
https://sites.google.com/site/helpustad/home/freeustad

Thank you Everyone for Continuing to take Action for T-24 Ustad!

Lights for Lions Support Needed for this Important Event

Posted by greatcatsoftheworld on January 18, 2016
Posted in: Uncategorized. Leave a comment

Very important Event created for a very important cause , please read and share. Thank you !

To raise funds for Lion Lights and Bomas. Please read, and please donate https://www.generosity.com/fundraisers/1605907/csfb…
Lion Lights are an automated lighting system designed to deter large predators such as lion, leopard, hyena and cheetah, from killing livestock held in enclosures. This simple device was invented by an 11-year-old boy, Richard Turere whose family and neighbors were faced with predator incursions and livestock depredation on almost a daily basis in Kitengela (an area bordering the Nairobi National Park). The device is essentially a system of torches that flash intermittently. These intermittent flashes simulate the movement of a person around the boma and thereby deter predators. Actually, one of the most admirable aspects of the whole system is that it can be moved from one boma to another depending on the pastoralists’ movement patterns. Michael Mbithi and David Mascall refined the basic system developed by Richard and now solar-powered prototypes are being trialed in several locations.

In order to determine where the Lion Lights would be installed, the Lion Guardians team conducted a survey, in the group ranches of Eselenkei, Mbirikani and Olgulului, to establish which bomas experience the most lion incursions. In addition, we included Kunchu community land adjacent to Selenkay Conservancy, as there were a lot of livestock depredations by lions in that particular area as well. The survey was conducted over a period of two weeks. Lion Guardians also asked the community members to recommend the bomas that should get the Lion Lights based on their knowledge.

BIG SHOUT OUT TO WYOMING AND USA CITIZENS ( and even if you are outside the USA) to SIGN and SHARE this as far and as wide as you can!

Wyoming House Bill 0012 (HB0012) has been introduced by Republican Representatives Jim Allen and Hans Hunt and Senators Eli Bebout and Larry Hicks; it would allow any person holding a valid mountain lion license to take a mountain lion by use of a trap or snare. Trapping is a cruel and indiscriminate practice that injures and kills millions of wildlife and pets annually. Please help us stop this terrible bill. <<<

Our action alert to stop Wyoming from trapping mountain lions includes a petition that we’ll deliver straight to the legislature. Please sign today and share!

All the links to the Tweet-Sheets for Ustad are all included here for easy access and sharing.
