| Issues of captivity and conservation surrounding pantherine cats with a focus on the lion (_Panthera leo_) and the tiger (_Panthera tigris_) | |
| 2009 Full Book | |
This thesis investigates the practices of the zoological facilities affiliated with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, The Institute for Greatly Endangered and Rare Species, four large cat rescue sanctuaries, and multiple private owners. I sought to understand how the captive felines in each facility benefit public education, behavioral and physiological research, and in building a self-sustaining captive gene pool to serve as a backup population for the threatened wild species. |
