We have been seeing a lot of things being said about Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation. Carole Lewis, Director of Wildlife on Easy Street/Big Cat Rescue(Undeniably Inappropriately Named), has been spreading lies about us. She has said that we abuse and mistreat our animals. Anybody who has seen us knows that those are bold-faced lies. She claimed that they were transported in “circus wagons” and that “the tigers were being forced to lie on metal floors, with no shade...” All of the tigers mobile cages were specially built with polymer cutting board material and a top to provide more than efficient shade. Also a canvas shade cloth was erected over all of the cages to provide more shade. Lt. Steve DeLacure of the FWC made the full investigation and comfirmed that Carole Lewis is a liar, quoting that the cages “provided shade an an insulative floor.” Now lets compare Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation with Wildlife on Easy Street/Big Cat Rescue(Undeniably Inappropriately Named). Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation has had no animals escape, no serious injuries, and no animals confiscated by law. Meanwhile, Wildlife on Easy Street/Big Cat Rescue(Undeniably Inappropriately Named) has had 2+ animals escape, 3+ serious injuries, and 2+ animals confiscated by the law.
