1254696	2012-01-17 19:49:00	There even a Facebook page about saving the Zion big cats: www.facebook.com its good that there is interest in saving them. What this all says to me is that amongst the numerous threads over the last few weeks that have debated the creed and race of people this is another string on that same bow of broken society. Here you have a company of lawyers that have decided they were prepared to destroy 30something big cats because it did not suit their business plan or model and the cats prevented the financial compensation being processed to those it is owed to. To me this just shows that from the dregs of society through to our supposed upper levels of educated persons the majority of time actions are driven by completely the wrong reasons (as we all knew) and when you have lawyers behaving as this shows a bad trend...yes they are breaking no law but morally they are breaking every rule in the book as far as I am concerned. They should be ashamed of themselves. (right, soap box has been returned to the cupboard for another week now).	globe (11482)

But I owe you $thousands and make you promises and expect you to keep working without any money . That's my business model . Fair enough?	Winston001 (3612)

How about you answer me this...would you want those cats destroyed if it was you that was owed money?	globe (11482)
1254699	2012-01-18 12:13:00	I think I've made my thoughts quite clear above. How about you answer me this...would you want those cats destroyed if it was you that was owed money? Sadly, yes. If there was no other practical course available. However I expect a fair few of the cats to be rescued so hopefully the point is moot. Can't find a list of exactly what the 36 cats are. The problem is adult lions and tigers are specialised and difficult animals to care for, so those may not survive.	Winston001 (3612)
1254700	2012-01-18 12:26:00	Perhaps I should add that I'm a life member of the SPCA. Every day in New Zealand friendly affectionate cats and dogs are euthanised by animal loving volunteers who have to make the hard decisions - based on money. Nobody enjoys that, noone.	Winston001 (3612)

Aren't all tigers and lions endangered? If no one in this country is willing to care for them, I assume one could find an overseas zoo/establishment to take them off our hands?? Maybe the government should step in and do something about these animals, we throw away money right, left and center on many moronic issues . . .	Cato (6936)
1254702	2012-01-18 17:36:00	I agree, lions and tigers are endangered species especially the white tigers that I think are included in the 36. These are also breeding pairs so that makes them even more valuable. No way they should be allowed to destroy them!	CYaBro (73)
1254703	2012-01-18 23:02:00	Bottom line is someone has to pay for their food & keepers. Receivers cant keep funneling in $$$ for that . It may have been a bluff, just to get some action on new homes for these animals.	1101 (13337)
