What Can We/should We Do?

[Jeanclaude66]

Last night our large feline escaped and got through several chicken wire cages and killed several of our animals and mauled quite a few others.

Those still alive have large bites and scratches consistent with a large feline.

I drove several times towns away and phoned the rspca and several vets in those towns from a newly bought pay as you go Phone and chip which I then drink over crushing it and then poured petrol on it and then threw the remains in the sea thus protecting my anonymity stating to them the animal involved for the animal murders and the animal victims and was told by all of them that they could tend to the animals but would have to inform the relevant animal authorities as well as the police as 9/10 animals are illegal to own at where I reside and are protected practically almost extinct animals.

It appears that all my animals bar 1% of them would be seized as well as me and my wife get arrested and possibly jailed.

We do a fantastic service for our local community by letting the elderly, adults and children with learning and physical disabilities, those in hospices and hospitals visit us as well as take them he many non dangerous animals to them which very therapeutic for them and refuse to have our furry, scaled and feathered children taken away.

This stressful and as I do not walnt our animals to die so what can we do?

Hmmmm.

Are you saying that you own 99% of these animals illegally, yet let the elderly etc visit them?

[Rockrose]

So you cat escaped and killed some of your chickens and mauled some others?
No problem no one is going to blink at that just get the chickens that need help help and ensure the chicken pen is cat and fox proof for the future.

Is it a mountain lion?

Barricade yourselves in and set your raccoons on any intruders or officialdom that pays you a visit.

You can’t be an animal lover on the one hand and keep animals illegally on the other. You need to sort this out now and face the facts.

Have to agree with Baldric 16.27. Specially after the previous posts about wife-biting raccoons that play with your grandchildren!

Move to another Country.

Not this one.

I hope this is not true.
If you claim to love animals why are you keeping them caged and allowing them to be handled by inexperienced members of the public.
If you have injured animals and are not seeking veterinary help then I hope karma catches up with you.

I live in the uk but also have a home somewhere in the state of Colorado and yes to the question regarding the breed of big cat.

We have several big wild species of mammal, reptiles, and predator birds on a large bit of land which includes mountainous, lakes, desert and grass so something for everyone though the zoo area are all in a small section to make it easier for me, my wife to clean and feed as we’re in our 60’s and also easeier to transport from one area and easier for visitors. We called the ASPCA not rspca and they were very harsh in their tone on what could happen to us.

Ok so it’s a wind up post

[Jeanclaude66]

Not sure exactly what the big disbelief and childish comments are about. Many have almost fully stocked zoos with extremely big cats and other big animals here in this state and others.

[scorpiojo]

So, 99% of your animals would be seized as you own them illegally, yet the elderly etc visit?

Where are you posting from right now?

[scorpiojo]

...why, then, have you been allowed to keep them, if the local community are fully aware?
