  • with the recent release of The tiger King on Netflix I just wanted to show that not all exotic animal owners are irresponsible. Most of us have our animals well being. health and happiness in mind. and don't get involved in drama. unfortunately there are people trying to get our rights taken away. and I won't mention names. and they have been successful so far. but we will keep fighting to keep our rights to help these animals and give them homes. thank you.

      @egroegartfart  4 роки тому +66

      @Michael Ward Oh, he's not wild? haha. Oh you must be in the wildlife profession? Maybe a zoologist or animal biologist, or animal behaviorist? well, no. I guess not any of those because anyone in those professions knows that a wild animal is and always will be wild whether they are raised in the wild or in captivity, and they also know that it is not possible to domesticate or tame or train a wild animal like a bobcat. Oh, but I forgot, you're the expert. So what was your degree in again? One of my degrees is in animal behavior, which is a broad spectrum that covers domestic animals as well as wild animals. and covers body language, sounds. communication. feeding, hunting, diet. breeding, Animals in captivity as well as in the wild. .....etc. as well as a degree in education. But I've now spent 29 years in the animal field, working mostly with wild predators like tigers, cougars, bobcats, African Servals, tigers, jaguars, wolves, fox, deer, snakes, along with many others, but those are the main ones. and then I've also lived with wild predators for the past 20 years. I have directed a rescue for the past 25 years, and worked to educate communities through speaking engagements and workshops and classes on wild animal propagation, and husbandry. and have mentored over 240 people that were new and prospective wild animal owners and am available for technical support 24 hours a day. Basically when they get into situations that are dangeous or unusual and need help so that someone or the animal does not get hurt. But Hell, I don't know anything about the subject. Yah, you're right, He's not wild. he's very tame. In fact. I'll send you an invitation to come to my house to meet him so that you can see just how tame he really is in person. I will have papers drawn up just to be safe though so that I have no respnsibility if anything were to happen to you the second you walk through the door into my house. lol. But of course nothing would happen to you though right? because he's tame. yep, he's tame. Not wild at all. You're perfectly safe. Nothing to worry about. since youre the expert here, and since you said hes not wild. You must be right. Just curious though, what makes you say that he is not wild? what do you see that convinces you that he is not wild? I'm very curious.

    • @pessimystica
      @pessimystica 4 роки тому +6

      Benji The Bobcat he purrs & looks happy, so i guess that translates to "not wild" to some of these people 😊 I don't work with animals, but I think I know more about animal behavior than most people. I've watched a lot of documentaries, & you also learn about human behavior as well. I know nothing beats working with them in real life. I even wanted to be a vet when I was younger. If I weren't a musician, I would've worked with animals somehow for sure! In the meantime, I love observing my furry roomies, my dog & cat ☺️. I'd get more if I had space, but I live in the city.

    • @egroegartfart
      @egroegartfart  7 років тому +40

      haha, yes, a lot of people say that glen. He is a wild animal though although from watching my videos you would never know that by the way he acts. Hard to explain but a good example is when they are born in the wild they only accept and bond with their siblings and parents. With them they are just like Benji was with me and my animals. Benji was with us since he was only a few weeks old so we were all he knew and he accepted me and my domestic pets as his family. Now if I would have brought someone else in the house or another animal you would see the wild animal come out because he would have immediately attacked the person or killed the animal. When they are raised in captivity they don't lose their wild instincts. They are just comfortable where they are raised. and also in my videos I never show anything that was bad or him in a bad mood but there were scary moments every single day. Luckily I have many years of experience with them and knew how to handle each situation. but they are wild no matter where they are raised. but yes, he was raised in a very calm environment which is very important when you have a bobcat, or even a domestic cat for that matter. They learn at a very young age how to act, I've seen so many people with domestic cats that act so wild and attack their owners all the time and chase and bite at their hands or feet and that's because they've played too rough with them when they were young. making them chase their hands or making them wild. I see so many people doing that with kittens and laughing and thinking it's cute, but when their cat becomes an adult and is still doing it, it isn't so cute anymore.

    • @glenwoofit
      @glenwoofit 7 років тому +6

      Benji The Bobcat Thanks for the reply that was really interesting. I used to play fight with my kitten he's 18 months old now and we still play fight but when he gets to wild and I say NO he stops I guess all cats still have a wild side to them hence why domesticated cats can still become feral. If a stranger came into the room would Benji actually attack or try to get away? I guess a wild cats wild side is closer to the surface than a domesticated cat no matter how tame they appear.

    • @egroegartfart
      @egroegartfart  7 років тому +16

      glenwoofit no he would attack. It was illegal for me to let anyone have any contact with him, but when the vet came he had to get out of the house fast because Benji was going to attack him. bobcats do give you a warning, which I like a lot, but you don't have much time after they let you know. and then another person who also has a lot of experience with bobcats and other wild animals came in one time and it was the same thing. Bobcats in the wild hide from people. They just want nothing to do with people. and they won't usually attack you unless you invade their space or they feel threatened. Most people think they are afraid of people but they are not. Their downfall actually is that they are fearless, and will attack and fight any predator no matter what size or animal it is, but sometimes they choose the wrong animal. But when raised with people they won't hide when people come around. I had people stop to visit him almost everyday. but they just talked to him while he was outside in his enclosure and he loved that. but there would always be one person that he just didn't like, and there really was no reason for it. and he would attack the fencing on the enclosure wanting to get at them. With a wild animal they are just unpredictable so owners have to be so very careful because we are very liable for anything that happens.

      Benji The Bobcat Thank you so much for all the info I appreciate it. I live in the UK so the only wildcat we have here is the Scottish Wildcat they are like large tabby cats but completely wild and sadly very rare. I'm loving watching your videos it's fascinating watching cat behaviour no matter what type of cat, Lion, Bobcat or Tabby as they all share the same behaviour but I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of any of them.

      glenwoofit Thanks Glen, I'm glad you like my videos. Sadly Benji passed away last summer. I miss him a lot. He was in over 800 videos, It was like he knew when I turned the camera on. Like he just had to show off. He was so funny. He always made me laugh and made my day so fun. I haven't heard of the Scottish Wildcat. I'll look them up. Thank you. Yes, you definitely don't want to get on their bad side. Bobcats are a small animal. only 30 to 70 pounds but are very dangerous. I cherish the years I got to spend and live with bobcats. Those were very special years of my life. Thanks again. I do have some new videos of my pets coming out soon. Not as exciting as seeing a bobcat, but I have missed filming and want to keep doing it.

      Tess S - no it takes many, many generations to domesticate a wild species. Even ordinary domesticated cats have kept some of their wild ways.
      This gorgeous bobcat is simply used to humans and has become comfortable around them, and enjoys being taken care of by them so therefore has a certain amount of trust in these humans. But cross it or threaten it in some way... I wouldn't want to feel those claws or jaws.

He had so much more to give this world. I still get messages weekly and daily how hes touched peoples lives and just made their day so much better. He wasnt supposex to survive even a couple weeks when i got him so im glad he had those four years to show the world just what kind of animal he was and to break down some of those barriers and stereotypes people have about wild animals. For sure he was an exception to what most wild animals are. Ive never met one like him and likely will never meet another thst is like him. But he was just amazing. So smarg. So caring. He was thd first wild predator thst i experienced unselfishness from. And still havent met another with that quality. I vould go on and on linda.

      When stationed in West Germany in the 80s, a platoon sergeant’s half bobcat, half domestic cat attacked a burglar and chased him off. The cat was sitting on a piece of furniture next to front door cleaning the blood out of his paws when my platoon sergeant got into the apartment, he had pulled up with his wife as the burglar came running out of the building holding his face.......
      You may think they won’t attack, and they probably won’t, but don’t think the cat doesn’t have the ability.

      You will go thru many kittens to find that one that has the qualities that you'd want to domesticate that animal. It is very rare to find a wild that can be this domesticated, even if bottle fed from day one. Every animal has their own personality traits, just like we all do. Finding that one is like finding a needle in a haystack. Benji is one of a kind and my heart sunk when I found out he is no longer with us.

      Declawing is illegal in Australia, and for good reason. It falls under animal cruelty. Large cats are considered wild and aren't allowed as pets either, only with a license can someone own wild breeds. I'm sure your friend treated the cat well, it's just unfortunate that declawing isn't outlawed in the USA.
