Just horrible that this beautiful, magnificent animal was killed like that.
Do you think your friend would take in that serval and bobcat?
As for the Serval and Bobcat, I spoke with the guy in New York today, who should be able to take in these 2 cats. He has his USDA class C exhibitors permit and just needs to get a permit from the New York state DEC. That is, if New York will issue him the permit. This guy has experience, he has been a volunteer at a local zoo there for a few years now and has taken and passed the FCF, Feline Conservation Federation's, wild/exotic feline husbandry course, as my wife and I did. He sounds just like me, has a very strong love for these cats and we enjoyed a nice conversation sharing cougar stories
