A Sack of Bobcat Kittens [Robert Feline pix, vids]

[Slings and Arrows]

With a gun in one hand and a sack of bobcat kittens in the other, an Alabama hunter proudly plopped the newborns down on the counter and asked the veterinary assistant to raise them so he could eventually give them to his kids as pets. The vet tech was stunned, but quickly recomposed herself and told the hunter she would see to the welfare of the kittens, but didn't disclose that she had no intention of turning them into pets. She immediately turned to the internet for an expert in rehab and release and identified Carole Baskin of Big Cat Rescue. It was agreed that the kittens would go to Florida for care and eventual re-release back into the wild.

Doesn’t sound true to me!!

A shaggy dog story. Or cat.

The pix and video are convincing evidence that the cats exist; the origin? *shrug*

Now who went and named them all Bob? /s

Animal rescue depends on the “cute’ factor and the displaced mothering instincts of humans.

Much as the real motivation behind females feeding their cats all those very expensive ‘gourmet cat foods in the artistic, designer cans with ‘organic’ contents’ and full color labels, - displaced mothering is probably behind all the groups ‘rescuing’ critters.

Having known some of these groups, all I can say is “Humbuggery!”

Why can’t you just let people enjoy something without gratuitously injecting nasty, cynical negativity into it? This used to be a civil forum.

[Slings and Arrows]

Good line.

Looks like my Little Killer when she was a cute little kitten except they have tails.
