According to Sabring, the cou
gars in Ins care cannot bo released
into the wild bee auso they have bo
come accustomed to humans. It re
leased, they would seek out poo
[ilo, and when hungry, would
probably eat domestic animals
Sehring's cougars are eventually
sent to zoos and wildlife centers
around the world, including Now
York and Australia, whore they .ire
used in educational programs
Tawni is used in presentations in
hugene Si bool District 4J. and she
has a spot nil relationship with So
bring, who raised her from a kitten
She sleeps in Sobring's bod at
night, and if he forgets to let her in
the house, she sits in her cage and
sipieeks until hoarse
"Hut she's still a wild animal,"
Sobring said, "and you have to re

said, come from people who had
tried to keep them as pets
it's unreasonably easv to breed
and obtain cougars.' he said
''There's too many unethii al breed

your backyard on a chain, they 're
great ysith children, and you can
feed them chit ken net ks

"Benji the Hunted." yvitii two other

kept in a small cage and poorly

The other two cougars were sold as

According to Sabring, about HO
pert ent of the people who try to
keep cougars as pets .ire mauled or
injured by their c at In these cases,
the cougar usually is put to sleep
"Cougars aren't vicious." Se
ining said, "but you can't play
with them We re made out of
papier-mache, and they’re made of
cast iron.”
Sebring added that a cougar's
muscles are five to six times
stronger than a human's, so that "at

Most cougars in t:nptivitv nr«; do
clawed. which many people find
cruel Sehring disagrees, and said
that because the cougar hits no
need for claws in captivity, remov
ing them enables people to give the
animals the affection that they
need
"It was difficult to dei law

loving friends said. Rav. we like

Subring works with .1 number of
indigenous animals, but bis love is
the cougar He worked with them
for three years at Cougar Country,
another local rehabilitation facility,
before he bought his own cougar
farm a little over a year ago
"Cats just touched my heart,"
Sebring said "You can only hear
so many stories about cats suffer
iii)4, left in bucks of c urs, before vou
do something. I still feel bad be
cause I have to keep them in such
small cages
Sebring's facility consists of
three chain-link c ages, which don't
give the cats any room to run, he
said To solve this, be is building a
1 >1 foot-tall, 12,000 square foot
cage that will hold eight cougars
"Once they're in here, the cats
(.in look up .uni see they sky m
stead of having wire mesh ovur
their heads all the time." Subring
said ''They'll have room to run,
too, so when I come in here. Tawni
