East Coast Exotic Animal Rescue

A Lasting Refuge For Exotics!!!

                                                            

We are all looking for answers as to what happened in Ohio and what can we do to prevent it from happening again. First of all let us understand to get the correct answers to the problem one needs understand wherein the problems lie. You also need to ask the people on the front lines of exotic animal rescue for guidance not someone in the animal industry who profits from the animals. To say we ...need to put a ban on selling exotics is putting the cart before the horse. It is the breeding that needs to stop..

We cannot hide behind the word conservation. Lets face it by breeding these animals we are not conserving anything.. especially when they are being bred for a profit. The exotic animal trade is a 20 BILLION dollar industry they will not stop willingly.. We have the technology to freeze the eggs and sperm of all endangered animals and there are many frozen zoos in labs therefor the breeding of these animals is not needed..

We also need to support rescues many of who cannot even get classified by there own state as a rescue..even though we have taken in many of our states problems.

We want the animals that died to know we are doing everything we can so that they did not die in vain.

Contact your states represenative and demand a ban on breeding exotics then on selling them. Money needs to be available for exotic rescues they are providing a service like an spca except there is no adoption available..Lifetime care is required.

              

 

 

 

 

 


Katrina ("Kat") was a Bengal Tiger who started out as a high school mascot 18 years ago. She was a survivor! She outlived her captive life expectancy of 16-18 years, even though most of her years were lived in a basement. We hope she enjoyed her remaining time here, living in the warmth of the sun and fresh breezes of the surrounding mountains. Kat was one of the main reasons for the rescue. Kat passed away December of 2006 at the age of 22 years old.


The Bengal Tiger is found in tropical jungles, marshlands and tall grasslands of India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Burma. It is the largest of the big cats and is strong enough to bring down wild cattle weighing up to one ton.

Males can reach 11 feet in length, females eight feet, and they can leap up to 30 feet in a single bound, climb trees and swim well.

Just as no two snowflakes are alike, so does each tiger have a unique pattern of stripes.

This elegant creature has been hunted to near extinction for its bones, which are powdered and used in Eastern medicines, for it's gorgeous pelt, and as a "trophy" for its hunter's wall. Over the last century, three of the eight tiger sub-species have been hunted and poached into extinction, with the remaining five on the brink of the same fate. Even now, China breeds tigers in captivity for tiger parts for medicines.

In the wild, habitat conservation and the creation of large reserves may be the only way to save them.
