Read the complete story of Skid as told by Carole in this account archived in 1997.
excerpt:
"Knowing that the kitten had been too deeply imprinted by humans and that this idea of returning animals to the wild is just the activist's way of patting themselves on the back, while the animal is sent out to surely die where no one can see him, we gathered twenty two affidavits from people who had watched the cub's progress, who stated that they did not believe she was a pure Florida Bobcat and therefore the State had no authority to confiscate her. The State agreed and further allowed that she was a hybrid and could be adopted by the person who had originally rescued her."
Now let's compare that to what Carole says here.
"Owner Ginny Fine says that Barbara Roe, owner of Bitterroot Bobcat and Lynx of North Stevensville, Montana, told her the animal she purchased three years ago is a hybrid feline, not a purebred bobcat. But that claim is being challenged by Carole Baskin, founder of Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Fla. “There is no such thing as a hybrid bobcat. There has never been a documented case of a hybrid bobcat anywhere,” Baskin said.
So Carole manipulated 22 people to sign affidavits saying the bobcat was probably a hybrid and now claims there is no such thing as a hybrid bobcat! When she wanted Skid she was a hybrid and when she wanted Rocky, there was no such thing? And "this idea of returning animals to the wild is just the activist's way of patting themselves on the back"....isn't that not EXACTLY what Carole does? She even goes so far as to torture and kill live domestic bunnies in her misguided efforts to 'train' bobcats to hunt and be released to the wild. Does the word hypocrite come to mind?
