[FEL-L] 50 years of doing what

[Brian Werner]

Is this you Giacinto?

If so I find that funny, 50 years of doing what? Whoring mutilated big 
cats out to others for them to work with? Or 50 years of US F&W 
violations? Or 50 years of flapping jaw bones?  And even if 50-years of 
actual working with big cats I'd question rather or not it is accurate 
just because you made your mistakes over a longer time frame than any 
others. Perhaps you just are slower at learning what is the right way to 
do things? I dont think that you ever worked a big cat, especially not 
for 50 years, if so you would be the oldest largest big cat handler in 
the ring-give it a break.

And if a big cats not to be trusted than maybe its best served that you 
leave them the hell alone? Of course it hurts them, if it didnt hurt 
than they wouldn't cry when its performed on them and it wouldn't 
cripple them once old age sets in, etc. There is no proper way that is 
not adverse when it comes to amputation of a limb. Of course we are 
talking about contact cats, but no buts!!!

Just relax and deal with it, you're wrong and you know you are wrong.

Mr Werner,
 
Why are you so one sided?  I do not care about ehat you  just said.  It is 
wrong.  A big cat is still a big cat and can not be  trusted 100 per cent of the 
time.  If he is a working cat and has to work  around people it is a lot 
safer to have him declawed then to wait until he has  hurt someone and has to be 
put down.  Declawing does not hurt them in any  way if done properly.  Just how 
long have you been working with these  cats.  I have been doing it for over 
50 years now and I have seen a  perfectly sweet cat go bananas over someone and 
want to kill them.  We are  talking about contact animals not animals that 
are kept in cages at all  times.  There are exceptions to the rules, BUT???????
