Saddest thing on Animal Cops

There was this beautiful exotic wildcat, the kind that is a copper color with long black hair on the rips of its ears. Anyways, it was kept in a bedroom by itself since the woman bought it on the internet when it was 3 weeks old. So the cat was not socalized at all, basically wild. BUT SHE HAD IT DECLAWED. So they couldn't release it, they couldn't take it to a sanctuary with other of it's kind since it cannot defend itself. They said they are trying to find a sanctuary that will take it and it will have to stay by itself or with other previously owned declawed wild cats. rrgg, some people are idiots.

It is a Caracal or Caracel I forget how they spelled it.
Pronounced Kara-Cal

That is very sad. What's even more pitiful is that the "owner" probably didn't realize what she was doing!

That is so messed up! It makes me mad and depressed at the same time.

That is sooo sad I LOVE caracals! The Exotic Feline Breeding Compound in Rosamond, CA has them - they are so cool! I hope that they find a place like EFBC to place it. I noticed that the caracals are kept in separate cages, although many of the cats, such as the fishing cats & snow leopards & black panthers share large cages and are very social. Here's their website:http://www.cathouse-fcc.org/. Sorry if this seems like a "thead-highjack" but the docents at the center are really for regulating the ownership of exotic species because of too many tales like these. After reading Amber the Bobcat's posts & discussing this with my vet, I think that we need to simply vigorously enforce the anti-cruelty laws already on the books. I'm sending TCS {{{prayers and vibes}}} that the rescued caracal be placed in a home where she can live her days in tranquility.

I saw it also... I am rewatching now.
