There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

THE POWER OF CAPTIVE BIG CATS

a - Positive

Most of you no doubt know about the conflict in the southeastern part in Ukraine. Conflicts seldom solve problems. They result in casualties. Very often, children become casualties. The boy in this video is one of them. It was his wish to see a tiger. As seeing no longer is option, it was changed for feeling:

b - Negative

A little over two decades ago, a rescue facility for big cats was started in the northern part of the Netherlands. The director more than once offered me the opportunity to observe, measure and weight big cats.

As a result of boredom, captive big cats often develop unhealthy habits. In order to prevent boredom, the director of the facility decided to talk to former trainers. One of them was Gaston Bosman. Both men decided to develop a method to activate captive big cats. When they had reached a decision, I was to interview Bosman.

Not long before he started in the facility, Bosman was attacked by a young tigress in the Italian circus where he worked with tigers. Although she was about 13 months of age only, Bosman, close to the end of his career, didn't survive the attack. The director of the facility in the Netherlands thought it made no sense. Unless. I agreed and will leave it at that.

One could write a book about big cat trainers, Italian circuses and casualties. There's something going on there. Here's another report about a trainer killed by tigers:
