IFAW’s Big Cat Rescue
The International Fund For Animal Welfare (IFAW) swooped into Ohio last week, rescuing 4 tigers and 2 lions who had been kept by an unlicenced trainer. The animals were declawed by the trainer who was recently evicted by her landlord.
The IFAW animal rescue blog says:
IFAW is pleased to step in and be part of this extraordinary attempt which took the combined efforts of federal agencies, local county animal control and animal protection groups to rescue these declawed big cats and shut down the illegal tiger trainer camp in Gambier, OH. Not only this move of the big cats to permanent sanctuaries will lead them to receive much better care, it also brings attention to the abuse of big cats as photo props and to horrific situations created by unlicensed exotic animal facilities. Hopefully, when the IFAW supported federal bill – Haley’s Act, becomes law, it will enable federal, state and local agencies to join hands with animal protection groups to shut down illegal and unlicensed exotic animal facilities.
