Not tame cats, as this is a Serval cat!
We were at the Cheetah sanctuary and so glad to see that they also care for other cat species.
These were all hand-reared and of course when they were no longer small and cute kittens, they were sent to the sanctuary.
Being hand-reared spoiled any chance that they may have had to survive in the wild and instead they are all employed as ambassadors of the conservation projects at the sanctuary.
Come meet the cats!
The serval even licks himself like a house cat!
And this is the young Anatolia dog on duty to guard the cats.
This is an old house and the offices of the sanctuary.
In a glass case is the skeleton of a cheetah!
Here we have a full description why the cheetah is the fastest land animal
Cheetah preparing to rush for his daily bone. Too fast for me to get his jump!
Never go close to a cheetah at lunch time!
He decided to keep an eye on me.
These guys can clock 75 kms on the run.
Ah! My favorite cat, the Caracal. They are related to the Lynx!
His teeth used to be much longer, but he was showing me that he's seen a dentist recently!
Here you can see the size of the caracal!
Another look at Ntombi, the black backed jackal that I featured in a previous post!
Another look at the young Anatolia dog.
One thing that I seriously dislike is when parents buy their children a cute little rabbit, or a puppy, kitten etcetera for their birthday.
As soon as the animal starts growing it gets pushed aside and dumped.
These little creatures are vulnerable, and at the mercy of the people in whose hands they find themselves. Do they manage to have owners who truly love and care for them, or do they have masters who keep them trapped with no other place to go?
How many children, adults and elderly are trapped by other people? Do they find themselves in places where others truly love and care for them, or are they discarded? How do we know? Our charity works with many of these children and adults.
To adopt tame animals is one thing, but to take an animal out of the wild and "tame" it is cruel; as said animal receives a death-sentence when they are dumped. Simply because they cannot survive on their own in the wild.
Please think before you get an animal.
