Those enclosures are tiny! This is the same place that takes animals from people with larger nicer homes? They should be ashamed. Don't let BRC fool you. And if that's true about the septic...wow, just wow.

Actually, all you have to do is go to youtube and do a search for BCR. You will see their numerous video's showing the cat's enclosures, the lake that is part of some of the cat's enclosures, the foliage and stimuli these cats enjoy and the wonderful treats the cats get. They are spoiled! (I especially love the "bloodscicles" and Halloween treats!).

And they don't "take" anyone's cats. They rescue them, you know, from places that cannot take care of them anymore, owners that bought that cute tiger/lion cub (and it grows up and proves to be way more than they can handle). BCR cannot just "take" animals (though I wish they could from the people that either bought them fueling the illegal trade, and/or the ones that do not provide proper care).
Quit spreading lies. Especially ones that are obvious. It makes you look impaired.
