in a video i saw online carol baskin who's also another you know uh she's
another cat owner and
uh farmer that's featured in the um in the documentary carol carol really
pushes the
envelope of you guys mishandling cub treatment over there right some some crazy
illusion of it
you know the the cub is a super valuable character that is why he's because why
is the cub so valuable
he created like why is all why is it all about the cubs like everyone's always
like the cubs the
cubs the cubs why is that the real reason is it just they know it's going to
hit the heartstrings
of people so they want to create drama unfounded unprecedented endless drama
people like carol
and peta just trying to make up a story of course the cubs are super valuable
to us as individuals
as characters that hold vital genetics to our ongoing program almost 40 years
where we've been
holding these family of tigers together have known several hundred tigers in
that time trying to have
them hold up that genetics which may in fact save the tiger and in through that
make it that there will
even be tigers on the planet in time to come a baby tiger needs tlc round the
clock you just can't rough
them and handle them in some way that's inappropriate they are cared for round
the clock handled super
minimally you know they pretend like we're passing them off in a line 20
minutes people come they get
a 20 minute interaction three days a week that's it one hour and what about
when they age out of kind
of that sugar realm where people are loving them and you know like they start
to become you know hit the
terrible twos you know like even like children do do you guys is there is there
an underground railroad
or something where you guys get rid of tigers at that point or is there you
know what's the real deal you see
all those those guys that are with cody those are cody's uh you know brothers
and sisters that he's
out there with all day he's got every color every size every shape boys girls
we continually have a
relationship with those guys throughout their life cradle to grave they're
important characters that on
the preserve we swim with them in a huge pool they're going to be great big
guys for that we have a big tiger
run where we have a tiger chase high-speed lures we have 10 tigers that are set
up to go and chase that
lure system and be part of the whole interactive part of the tour and big
tigers come out 22 adults
are on our big night safari dinner party every tiger has a vital importance to
us and is like critical
characters plus this idea that someone would do that taking a tiger and killing
it taking a tiger and getting
rid of it i wouldn't do it it's a crime i wouldn't do it unless the tiger
attacked me or something i
probably wouldn't do it no it's immoral it's it's it's no purpose to it and it's
not going to be
something that creates a a benefit of business you need this tiger to be there
for his genetics for his
beauty for what he's going to be able to do later and as an individual he's a
highly important loving
caring character that a girl a boy sat there holding and loving and giving it a
bottle around the clock
and always being with it so these are are imprinted for children in their own
way as these are family
members you know and we have the world's oldest cat was here the world's oldest
bear was here there are
oh really retirees here that are decades old and ready to step off the edge and
we coddled them
along so that they can cross the rain is joe biden there i i feel like joe biden
should be in there as
well kind of um i wouldn't be surprised if he qualifies uh in that group maybe
um so yeah obviously if you
guys were doing anything harmful to animals it would really harm your business
but why do other why is there
such venom between different cat camps where they're like they're doing this
they're doing this why
why isn't there more of a unified group that we're all doing the right thing do
you feel like
there's a couple reasons one those guys are out there running a gigantic
fundraising business to get
people to send them money to rescue something in need so they have to create
drama they have to say
these animals need our help today you give us a dollar we'll help make this
change whether the
change is real or not has nothing to do with the equation that's right guys who
are pretending to be
rescue you look at my place it's shangri-la huge open forest habitats beautiful
waterfalls and
ponds and space everywhere yeah it's beautiful i've seen the video online it's
yeah some of y'all's
videos online man it is really it is beautiful i feel like i went to like one
of the covers on
remember the joe was witness they give you that cover of the pamphlet well
paradise and it would
have a yeah yeah it's beautiful man you know and that and that and you look at
carol's place holy cow
a dungeon it is so low it's like white slavery over there too it has a very
white slavery kind of
vibe she she's making four to five million dollars a year according to her
taxes but it's all donation is
is that right what's that but her money is they they're able to earn money
through donation right
that and the other camps don't do that is that correct right it's a totally
separate thing of
how they raise that money and what they're doing with it you know and then you
got the the activists
that are like pito or humane society united states who are a vegan world order
they want everybody to
be forced vegetarian they want every human animal interaction to stop and they
will they say that all
zoos are bad and of course you can't ride a horse you certainly can't go get a
puppy doesn't matter if
you see the pound every animal is better off dead the head of uh pita has said
that you know a world
without puppies would be just fine i love a puppy i've had them next to me and
with me my entire life
and i think it's essential to get that love and understanding and connection to
ourself and
animals to have puppies and to have things around in our life and they're
living on another side we
really also work heavily as a wildlife conservation education organization we
have we have our own camps
in the deep jungles of sumatra that we hire the rangers for we've built the
stations we have guys out
every day picking up stairs chasing poachers we deliver drones around the world
to anti-poaching
teams to fly drones and find poachers we've put millions of dollars into
programs like this those
characters never even consider doing things like that it's completely outside
of what they're up to
we're on a different stage but then you got this other side that is the the
american zoo association
the city zoos they're running a program where everybody's equal and everybody
can care for it no one
there needs to have their hands on a tiger so they say anything puts their
hands on a tiger is wrong
and they need to be right more people go to zoos in america than all
professional sports events
combined people don't realize there's billions of dollars at stake in zoo visitation
and i didn't
realize that at all it's huge the big zoos are raking in phenomenal money san
diego zoo keeps uh keeps money in
reserve of over half a billion dollars just to keep things running their
overhead is hundreds of
millions of dollars and it runs from the the public pouring money into it
because most of the public
loves wildlife and wants to see it from afar they really wish they could hold
it and most of them
don't even realize it's possible to do it safely securely and beneficially
somewhere doing it here
creates a big multi-sided benefit where you get to see the animals and pay for
their um wild project
restoration so that they have a place to live hopefully that can forward as we
all make up our
mind whether we're going to hold the world for wildlife or if we're going to
hold the world for just
people because we've got to come up with a decision there for the wild world to
be left alone a little
bit and everybody wants their slice of it because everybody wants that piece
valuable asset you know
