A small offering of cream, poured onto the earth in a special location, to the Almother is a thoughtful gesture.

It's Time To Stop Breeding 'Frankencats'

Adam M. Roberts and Born Free USA - TheDodo.com - October 22, 2014

I'm stunned. Just stunned. In a world in which so many animals are in need of loving homes, it is mystifying that bespoke breeding of animals occurs-but, even worse, that state legislatures would allow the cross-breeding of domestic and wild cats for profit.

At least Born Free and our allies, such as the Animal Legal Defense Fund, can right this wrong.

Wrong.

At a meeting on October 8 in Mt. Shasta, California, California Department of Fish and Wildlife council members rejected the jointly-filed petition to remove an exemption in state regulations that allowed cross-breeding of domestic and wild cats.

Lion-Leopard mix
Mixing big cats

How about the absolute irresponsible travesty of mixing the big cats? Zoos around the world house large cats together, and they mix! Some, such as the Lion-Leopard mix, are NOT pretty. The Lion-Tiger mix has a strong tendency of gigantism and could not possibly survive in the wild. Now we're seeing the continuation down to 3/4 lion and 1/4 tiger, ruining these big beautiful specialized cats.

Another issue is the intrinsic specialized breeding of house cats. Cats are perfect, graceful, and sightly, as a general rule... with plenty of natural variation. They already have small faces, short legs, and small ears... yet unspiritual breeders continue to up the ante of breeding small scrunched faces, even shorter legs, even smaller ears, hairless, etc. Feline genes are not like canines, where simple wolf genes can be manipulated from the ferocious wolf to the timid chihuahua. I've never seen anything close to an improvement. Also, in regards to the wildcat admixtures, mixing in for example bobcat dna adds the genes for a big powerful cat. In this way, further generations may not be so kind to a home; tearing up the walls and furniture! Maybe injuring a small dog, when these issues would be much less likely to occur otherwise.

A Chat with Homicide Hunter's Carl Marino!

Kiki Garcia

I had a chance to chat one on one with Homicide Hunter's Carl Marino. I asked him all about playing one of the most popular Detectives on ID and he could not be more down to earth!

Homocide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda is over now. I don't see any reason that Carl Marino couldn't be like maybe Gary Sinise who took up acting late but moved along quickly.
