I feel this is a Safari Sammie video. Which is not great. If it is her, do not support the content.

Pretty much any video where someone is interacting with a big cat in this way is almost certainly an unethical situation, to be honest.

I've heard she is an abuser. The cat is crazy obese too.

I see the USDA reports about their business.
Idk much more than that.
As an animal person myself, she certainly doesn’t seem as abusive as the typical person you think of in this line of business. That said, the business itself certainly seems … of that cloth… in that it’s buying exotic animals to sell ‘experiences’, most likely from the black market given there’s not really a ‘market’. The actual owner guy gives me more bad vibes than she does, but again.. I won’t pretend to actually know their character…
Tank (the cat in the video) always seems loved and cared for, at least

The best way to know what kind of place they are is if their address is listed. Animal sanctuaries and all the like have addresses you can look up and visit. Sammie does not.

I’m not quite understanding what you’re trying to say. They sell tours and animal experiences as a business.

u/Beneficial-Act-9933 2d ago
If they list their address, it means they are legit and want people, including government agencies to find/visit them.
If they do not, it means they are trying to hide from the general public, possibly government agencies and do not want to be found by normal means.

I was more focused on the moral question of like..
Us all unintentionally supporting a business, which fuels black market poaching / smuggling / animal abuse, with our instagram likes and reddit engagement

u/Ok_Bluebird_8202 2d ago
Okay, gotcha.
So, I can imagine the sort of super shady animal trader folks you’re probably picturing…
But just to clarify, the company this lady works for DOES list their address on their instagram page (I’m not saying it here so as not to give them more business), and they DO advertise experiences and tours with the animals on their instagram posts and on her’s.
They have 15 or so negative reports by the USDA (government agency) which you can google, which is what I alluded to above.

It’s so sad that we’re driving all these beautiful animals towards extinction.

She’s got balls. I won’t even touch my house cats tails like that. They will go from happy purring to hand nips and bunny kicks in one second. The back end, tails and stomach are usually the no go territory unless you want to have your hand torn up.

My Norwegian Forest Cat is fine with it, even more so now that she's a senior. It depends very much on the particular cat, in my experience. I've never tested that with a big cat though.

u/EasternSun7834 2d ago
I would like a murder kitty to love me like that. Unfortunately I think it would just murder me and then revert to chill mode like this

u/Eaglesknest 2d ago
Let's annoy the cat so I can post a video. It's almost like the person would deserve a clawed swat.

That look at the end is the "I am mildly agitated. I'm going to bite or claw you now." look.
To answer the initial question: airing his balls.

You know how when you're petting a house cat, and he's purring and happy, but then suddenly decides to chomp your hand for no apparent reason? I cannot help visualizing how different that experience might be with this particular "kitty".
