      Sharon, here’s hoping stronger regulations will be put into place soon.  Thank you for caring about all animals big and small.

    No one should own an exotic pet. It’s not our right.  I don’t understand how anyone who does this thinks. I visited an orangutan rehab center in Borneo, and witnessed  the retraining of orangutans on how to be orangutans. People illegally got baby orangutans and somehow didn’t realize that they would grow up to fully grown hard-to handle wild animals. These people really have a missing link in their heads.

      Michele, that is sort of spooky to think the missing link might be living in their heads! ~shiver~  hahahaha

Hi, I’m Joanne and I love all cats. With a Global Field Master of Zoology degree focused on big cat conservation, I like to learn and talk about big cats too. I share my habitat with Paul and we were adopted by our cats Annie, Eddie and Bob.

The Tiniest Tiger has a fierce following of cat lovers and we’d love it, if you’d join us.
