our recent trip to sarasota was to work at the "big cat habitat" with all the rescued exotic animals close by. four days of living "with" the animals was surreal. the rosaire family, long established in the circus world of animal trainers, were delightful people with a rich history of caring for these magnificent creatures. this is truly a "sanctuary" where they can live out their lives with caring individuals and an admiring audience. like us, they must work for their meals but have never known the wild. the ligers were bred inadvertently in captivity beyond anyone's belief that it was possible for lions and tigers to mate. the extravaganza on saturday was great and lasted two hours with a wide variety of animal acts. just wished i could have had my kayak on the beach too...
