MAX - Rescued "Pet" Bobcat... Video
Max the bobcat kitten was at the center of a months-long legal battle that touched off after a Rhode Island vet seized him from someone who bought him from a backyard breeder... It is illegal to have bobcats as pets in Rhode Island. The cat's owner went to court to get the cat back, but the state won. Now Max will live at Big Cat Rescue for the rest of his life!
We're so glad we could step in and offer Max a permanent home, if you want to help put an end to the trade in wild animals as so called "pets" please visit this site to help give them a voice: http://bigcatrescue.org/get-involved/roar

THANK YOU!
I agree with them ...
I agree with them but I clearly don't know if said owner actually cared for the cat. And not just cared for the cat to be breed. If that is/was the case I would find this wrong but I don't? know...
max is so? cute

@cristinab415 Dogs ...
@cristinab415 Dogs ARE domesticated... And Rotts are just as good as any other dog. If gotten from a reputable breeder and sold to a responsible owner, they can be? just as well behaved as a Labrador :)
By the way bobcats ...
By the way bobcats are proven to be even more intelligent and affectionate than cats. If raised from babies, they? will be pets. Just like rottweilers or other dogs that can be dangerous . An angry rottweiler is more dangerous than a bobcat!
let's stop the myth that dogs are domestic and felines are wild!
When they are at ...
When they are at full capacity they will turn down animals that are? really rescue animals and were caged or abused by circuses, labs, or just plain crazy owners. In that case, the animal that gets turned down for lack of space, will be killed. This bobcat had an owner and is now taking up a spot that could have been used to SAVE an animal's life just because the state decided so. sad
Why doesn't the ...
Why doesn't the state use the tax money we pay to enforce laws that benefit society instead? In this case they used our? tax money for court to take this bobcat away from his owner/guardian. Now he is taking up a spot at Big Cat Rescue , which has a limited number of spots available.
How sad!! To take a ...
How sad!! To take a an animal? away from his guardian who loves him..Obviously the owner loved the cat if he spend money to go to court to get him back! "the state won" This is an example of when the government wants to control people's lives and creates pain and suffering..One woman wrote she had a skunk pet, her kid loved it and "the state" discovered that, seized the skunk and killed him. An innocent animal was killed, the kid was deeply hurt, and why?
freakin? cutie!!!

Awww Max is? a cutie
