oh my god

You look me in the eye and tell me this isn’t important

That jaguar is so tall compared to the ocelot. So cute!

@oreo-pie

I need to know if these cats are being sold into the the pet trade or not

Nope! These little kitties are from black jaguar white tiger foundation, a big cat rescue and sanctuary, and the man in the video is Eduardo Serio. He regularly gets orphaned cubs and cubs rescued from the pet trade, when the zoos don’t have enough room. He doesn’t normally socialize with them like this but the margay and jaguar cubs here had already imprinted on humans and can no longer survive in the wild, so he’s been raising them

OHHHHHH CUTIES….

Black jaguar white tiger foundation is a horrendous private petting zoo, and these animals are stolen from their mothers before their umbilical stumps have even healed properly. He d o e s usually socialise them like this – in fact, he makes ‘prides’ made up of multiple species. You heard me; lions, tigers, jaguars, anything he can get his grubby hands on, shoved into barren runs with nothing to climb on, explore or play with. Just barren dirt and dust, sometimes with a tuft of grass here or there. Eddie is a master manipulator and a monster; he declaws his big cats, has no in-house vet (just a plastic surgeon that is there to save face), and many of these cubs he gets end up sick. (which he, of course, will ‘heal with blue energy). The rich and the famous get to pet these cubs for cash – a practice that means these animals will never be returned to the wild where they belong. His adult cats are depressed, showing classic signs such as pacing (so much so there are furrows by the fences in the enclosures). 

Please do not support this man. His husbandry is disgusting, his animals are abused and neglected and he himself makes all the money he needs to support his lavish lifestyle.

So yes, @lilanth, these animals are part of the pet trade. In Eddie’s hands, he will likely breed them and sell them off to his rich and famous american friends.

These animals aren’t safe, nor are they living comfortable lives. I’m sorry to say, this man will not be stopped easily as he’s a rich and powerful man, protected in mexico by his high-up friends. It’s a gut-wrenching truth, made even more harrowing by the fact this man is constantly collecting more cubs, adding to the hundreds of animals he is condemning to a life of depression, discomfort and death.
