Big Cat Rescue
January 2018
Concerned supporters contacted Big Cat Rescue about the CBS television
show NCIS Los Angeles that recently featured an adult tiger in an episode.
We looked into it and believe the show rented the tiger from Hollywood
Animals, a notorious exotic animal rental business that “trains” big cats
and other exotics and rents them out for events, movies, TV shows and
advertising.
Hollywood Animals makes the dangerous claim that their big cats are
perfectly safe working with untrained actors. They have a long history of
exploiting big cats and numerous USDA violations of the Animal Welfare Act.
Big Cat Rescue contacted executives at CBS to explain that big cats should
never be used as entertainment or props to boost ratings for television
shows; they are wild animals that deserve dignity and respect. We also
provided CBS with info about Hollywood Animals. Nobody from CBS responded.
So now we NEED YOUR HELP. Will you please let CBS executives know there are
many people who feel that big cats should not be exploited on a television
show? Ask CBS to exclusively utilize computer generated imagery (CGI)
technology rather than real big cats. Thank you for your speaking out for
this tiger!

SAMPLE LETTER:
I am disturbed that a recent episode of your CBS television show NCIS Los
Angeles featured an adult tiger. Big cats should never be used as
entertainment or props to boost ratings for television shows. They are
majestic wild animals that deserve dignity and our respect.
I do not want to see a real tiger or any other exotic cats used in your
television programming. I am asking CBS to exclusively utilize computer
generated imagery (CGI) technology rather than real big cats. I strongly
urge CBS to make a commitment to no longer exploit wild animals and instead
use CGI for all programming in the future.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!
