Tiger Ranch: Questions (Part VI)
Today I came across an interesting paragraph in the blog on the Voices For Animals MySpace page (dated March 15, 2008 – two days after the PSPCA raided Tiger Ranch – and labelled “Tiger Ranch Update”):
It is not our position to judge what the owner’s intentions had been, we must focus [...]
Or… Tiger Ranch: Questions (Part V)
It’s not a coincidence that the chief webkitty at tortiball.com took a sudden interest in MRSA and cats yesterday. We’ve recently learned that the Tiger Ranch cats, who have been housed in Clarion by PSPCA since March 13, 2008, have been diagnosed with MRSA*. Through discussions with independent vets, we [...]
Note from Madras: I was very happy to see this report appear in the “Susquehanna Independent Weekender” on May 28, 2008.
TNR day was a big success
Thanks to the help and support of many individuals, the first one-day TNR (trap-neuter-return) clinic for stray and feral cats in Susquehanna County was held on April 21 at [...]

I found this commentary posted by “TrixieK”, of Grove City, PA, on May 7, 2008 at http://www.topix.com/forum/news/opinion/TOM0L0GH0BVMF1N72/p5, and thought it raised some points worthy of consideration… (it was comment #94 at the time of this posting). I couldn’t have said it any better, so I’ll present TrixieK’s comments verbatim:
“Expert witness veterinarian Dr. Becky Morrow [...]
Now that I’ve outlined my own dilemma with euthanasia, I can proceed with my next questions about Tiger Ranch. This addresses similar questions to those I posed in Part I, but on the Tiger Ranch side of things.
Background information
Cats can be asymptomatic carriers of an assortment of feline diseases. Some, such as FIV and FeLV [...]
I firmly believe that the no-kill model, as presented by Nathan Winograd, can work. There is no reason to euthanize any healthy cat.
That being said, I’m not sure that there’s never a place for euthanasia in the cat rescue world.
I have taken vacation time from my “day job” to nurse kittens who were ill with [...]
In an article published in the Valley News Dispatch on April 28, 2008, Francine Garrone wrote:
McDonald said the records indicated Bruno had received 6,482 cats in 2007. Only 14 cats were indicated as being adopted out.
Are those numbers accurate and truthful?
And if so… WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THOSE CATS????
Almost immediately after the raid at Tiger Ranch on March 13, 2008, I started asking questions. A lot of people started asking questions. Maybe some of you out there know the answers, but the vast majority of us do not. Hopefully we’ll learn the answers to many of them at the trial.
I am likely to [...]
