I haven't watched it yet, but I just realized/discovered that the setting of it is the Big Cats Rescue my first college girlfriend volunteered at in Tampa. She took me there a few times, and while she was an untrained, unpaid volunteer, she and I had total free rein of the place. We went into cages and I pet an ocelot and a bobcat. Petting the bobcat was scary, which she got a kick out of. That things neck felt like it was made out of steel. I saw s lynx with a missing arm that had been swiped off by a lion in the next area over. I saw a cage filled with macaques, and a dead chick near by. There were chickens that wandered around (and a peacock) and apparently, if a chick came close to the cage, the Macqaques would grab them and kill them. I saw my first bearcat there--it made the whole place smell like popcorn. I now work at a school whose mascot is the bearcat. It is trippy seeing that place on the map now with the popularity of this documentary.
That girl was a big time animal lover. Put me on the path to being a vegetarian (now a flexitarian). She had an enormous pet rat that had a tumor that was nearly half as big as it. She fed it fruit loops and insisted I pet it. The things young men do for a hot girl (when my friend from another college met her, he was legit upset and confused by how I got a girl that hot...the secret was feeding fruit loops to the tumor rat, I guess).
