Leeway Corucia Research Center (LCRC)
To Quote Carol Baskin, one of the founders of Big Cat Rescue, a sanctuary for 146 wild cats in Tampa, Florida.:
"If you pay for the animals, no matter how good your intentions, you're feeding the market for them," she said. "Also, Interacting with the animal as if it's a pet is just wrong,"
This applies to baby Corucia stripped from their parents or Corucia that are rescued from a sleazy pet shop. Despite one's intentions in helping one individual it potentially hurts many others in the future. The individual or individuals involved in the sale feed on the success of the sale and start the process over again. This is even more fueled by the higher prices commanded for Corucia these days.
What Should a conscientious Guardian of Corucia do?
1). Not buy babies.
Stripping them from their Circulus early has been shown time and time again to overly stress them..
2). Not Buy from less reputable sources.
Again, this is not putting out the fire... it is fanning the flames.
True, there are not as many ads out there for Corucia, but if one is patient, one will turn up from a reliable source. Also, one can check with a breeder or Research group to obtain excess Corucia.
