| dbo:abstract | Big Cat Rescue Corp., also known as BCR and previously known as Wildlife on Easy Street, Inc., operates an animal sanctuary in Hillsborough County, Florida, United States, which rescues and houses exotic cats, and rehabilitates injured or orphaned native wild cats. It was founded by Don Lewis and Carole Baskin in 1995. The animal sanctuary has been open to the public and BCR sells tickets to visitors for tours including private tours, night tours, and feeding tours. However, BCR closed the facility to the public on March 16, 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and Baskin later announced that she was considering not reopening the animal sanctuary to the public. In 2019, BCR had 51 animals—17 big cats and 34 small cats of 11 species including bobcat, Canada lynx, caracal, cougar, Eurasian lynx, jaguar, leopard, lion, ocelot, serval and tiger—down from 66 in 2018. BCR has been accredited by Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries since 2009, and has received 4-star ratings from Charity Navigator for 2007–2022. (en) Big Cat Rescue Corp., aussi connu sous le nom de BCR, est un parc animalier à but non lucratif situé dans le Comté de Hillsborough, en Floride aux États-Unis. Auparavant, il était dénommé « Wild Life on Easy Street, Inc. ».

Le parc animalier est ouvert au public et différents types de visites sont proposés, entre-autres : visites privées, nocturnes et alimentation des animaux. Toutefois, BCR est fermé au public depuis le 16 mars 2020 pour cause de pandémie de COVID-19 et Carole Baskin a, par la suite, annoncé qu'elle envisageait de ne plus rouvrir le parc au public. En 2019, BCR hébergeait 51 animaux : 17 grands félins et 34 petits félins, 11 espèces étaient représentées, notamment : le lynx roux, le lynx du Canada, le caracal, le cougar, le lynx boréal, le jaguar, le léopard, le lion, l'ocelot, le serval et le tigre. En 2018, il comptait 66 animaux. En 2014, Big Cat Rescue a reçu plus de 27 000 visiteurs. Il se présente comme « l'un des plus grands parcs animaliers pour félins exotiques agréés au monde » et comme « un militant majeur de la lutte contre la maltraitance des grands félins captifs et de la protection des chats sauvages contre l'extinction ». Il s'agit d'un organisme caritatif labellisé 501 (c)(3), agréé par la Fédération mondiale des parcs animaliers ( (en)). Par ailleurs, il est membre de la Société mondiale de protection des animaux (World Animal Protection). Il a reçu à dix reprises consécutives la note de 4 étoiles de Charity Navigator. (fr) |
