I get lots of story ideas from my “search terms” I even have people who communicate with me in a roundabout way with the search terms. Soooo I get a search term “Ginger Luke animal cruelty conviction Montana, starving neglect” Huh?

Well I knew that they were starving their animals at the Wild Eyes animal “refuge” or rather I had heard the rumor, but until now really had no evidence.

Agriculture Decisions – Vol. 65 July to December, 2006

Volume 65 USDA.Gov

LUECK, HANS JAKOB ………………………… 1229

LUKE, GINGER GAIL …………………………. 1229

One USDA Decision (please note Ginger’s name on the top of the page)

Another USDA Decision (Please note Ginger’s name again)

911-AnimalAbuse.com There are a couple stories here about the whole situation.

I have been getting a lot of complaints from breeders who are getting irritated with Ms Luke’s persistence at buying their animals to sell at her rescue events, a few ex-volunteers saying she is pocketing the money from sales & not reporting it, & lots of complaints from various shelters in California saying that she orders dogs on credit & has never paid for them. She has been buying from breeders for years though

Then there is the question of the massive amounts of property she owns, & is buying up all the time. I looked up the business info from the Rickshaw & there is no way she is making enough money from there to be buying all of these properties. This woman & Rose Adams were responsible for the heartache I am going through now, she is also responsible for most of the crap I have had to put up with since 2006

Here is what this website has to say about Ginger’s Rescue…

So what is Wild Eyes? Well I found this story from 2004  which tells a very strange twisted tale…

Popular animal park here faces federal charges for buying critters

Posted: Wednesday, September 15, 2004 12:00 am By RICHARD HANNERS Hungry Horse News

A 55-count indictment charging Kenneth and Nancy Kraft, of Racine, Minn., and seven others with violating the Endangered Species Act and the Lacey Act was announced in mid-August by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Minneapolis.

Included in the indictment were owners of two menageries in Montana—Wild Eyes-owner Hans Jacob Lueck, 50, of Shoreline, Wash., and Troy Allen Hyde, owner of Animals of Montana, Inc., in Bozeman.

Lueck was charged with four counts relating to both of the federal wildlife protection acts.

Paul Bernstein, Lueck’s attorney in Seattle, said Lueck planned to plead not guilty by telephone at an arraignment in St. Paul, Minn., on Sept. 14.

According to the indictment, in March 2000, Lueck paid $10,000 for a white tiger and $2,500 for a grizzly bear cub. In June 2002, he allegedly purchased a spotted leopard cub, a tiger cub, a raccoon and a wolf pup for an unknown amount of money in excess of $300.

Furthermore, the indictment claims, Lueck and Wild Eyes did not have U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-issued captive-bred wildlife registrations or any other permit for any of the protected species they possessed. Wild Eyes did, however, possess an exhibitor’s license issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture since November 1999.

Lueck, the Krafts, Hyde and the other five named defendants face a maximum of five years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine if convicted of conspiracy or the wildlife-related charges.

Lueck and his wife, Ginger, purchased the facility after a visit to the area in 1998. But two years ago, claiming they were being harassed by state wildlife officials in Montana, the Luecks began looking for a new home for their exotic animals in western Washington.

In the meantime, the Luecks are soliciting donations for their Wild Eyes Foundation, in Seattle, Wash. According to their Web site, the foundation plans to offer a sanctuary for exotic pets that have lost their owners; seminars on wildlife husbandry; participation in national and international captive breeding programs; veterinary and research programs; and education programs aimed at children

Well you all know me by now: After all of the grief torture & heartache this woman has caused my animals, my business & my life’s work I had to keep digging!

So I found this decision from the USDA at this link but this is from 2 years after the article (?) All I can gather is they were illegally transporting animals without a current license & they were endangered exotic animals. White Tigers, Baby Grizzlies, etc… but the thing in 2004 was for the same kinds of animals only they were lying & forging documents to receive & sell animals. In 2006 their license was totally revoked though. The abuse, starvation & neglect are a separate issue & I may have to go to Montana to get the charging papers & information.

So what does that mean for Ginger’s Rescue AKA Wild Eyes? Well in 2005 Jakob Lueck was arrested for starving those same animals & placed on house arrest & probation. But Ginger was charged as well. So a woman who starves animals, transports endangered animals illegally using fraudulent paperwork is standing in judgement of ME?

Seems that Ms Luke is a convicted Animal Abuser as well, right along with her husband! They were married when this was happening so what gives? You will notice that the Wild Eyes/Ginger’s Rescue are both under his name, which is why he was named & charged. This is good information for me since now I know what property to file a lien on, which names they may be using to obtain or quit claim those properties, & I can go after him as well since she was harassing me, slandering me, & libeling me via “Ginger’s Rescue”

Wild Eyes Animal owner jailed & fined

                      Jakob Lueck, 51, of Seattle …Eventually, he hired someone to care for the animals,

and he didn’t do a good    job. Federal authorities arrested him, and Lueck will pay a fine of $10,000

and is on house arrest for six months until March 2006. He eventually brought some of his cats to the

Rocky Mountain Wildlife center, where Craig agreed to take them in. “It broke my heart,” Lueck said. “But

you have to be realistic.” Lueck wants to visit them in March, when his house arrest ends, and he realizes his

mistake. “You have to realize that no matter how much I love them, am I the right person to be in charge of

them?” Lueck said. “No. I didn’t realize that at the time. They looked a little skinny to me, I have

             to admit.” All of Lueck’s animals at the wildlife center, two bears, a mountain lion, a leopard and two

            tigers were malnourished, for instance.

I have a lot more research to do it seems… I am requesting the documents from the whole situation as to why they are only reporting that he was on house arrest, not about Ginger. I then realize something, I am looking for the WRONG name. Then I start  looking for Hans Jac(k)ob Lueck & then I find this:

So it seems like I will be making yet another trip down to the Snohomish County Courts to go find out what this is all about.

Then I start wondering… What is “Ginger’s” real name? Turns out it is Georgina Gail Luke

But I digress: I was looking up Snohomish County records & look what I found! PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THESE ARE LAND TRANSACTIONS ONLY FROM SNOHOMISH COUNTY The King County Site is closed until Monday morning,

So lets dig a little deeper here, at some of Ms Luke’s Tax returns… Her petfinder.com page shows 3500 adopted dogs, at an average rate of 650.00 per dog, considering she gets free spays & neuters from a local teaching hospital I don’t see how she has a perpetual 10K vet bill… Considering she reported assets of 8K why doesn’t she use those to pay off some of the vet bill?

Gingers rescue 2009 She spent 141K buying dogs, & claims to have rescued 2580 dogs

Gingers rescue 2008 She spent 117K buying dogs & claims to have rescued 1865 dogs

Gingers rescue 2007 She spent 6400.00 buying dogs, & claims to have rescued 1087 dogs

For a grand total of 5512 dogs for 2007, 2008, & 2009

What about 2010 & 2011? I am still looking for the tax forms for those years

Her website shows 3500 dogs as being rescued…

I have forwarded this information to the Washington State’s Attorney General’s Office so let’s see what they do or don’t about it. It looks like I better hurry up & file my suit against her, I have most of it written out but now I have all kinds of new information!

See this is what the truth is, it is documented, it is black & white. Far different than the crap that Ginger spews about me, she lies, I have proof & now others can see what she is really about… I still have to add some more info so please keep checking back, I just need to get the documentation before I post it to cover myself.

 

I found Gingers rescue 2010 tax form & I am actually quite shocked that the IRS is not all over her like flies on poop…

She states that in 2010 she “rescued” 1180 dogs, & the total dogs “rescued” since inception is 3760 dogs, but we know different don’t we?

In 2009 it was supposed to be 5512 dogs, so by 2010 it should’ve stated 6692 dogs… Is that all the money she has been pocketing?

She has also spent 156K buying… er… “rescuing” dogs in 2010. Her grand TOTAL for 2007, 2008, 2009, & 2010 is almost ONE MILLION DOLLARS, yes you heard me right! Is it possible EVERYONE else in “rescue” is doing it all wrong???

Here is the weird thing: She claims she had to refund 23K in rescue/adoption fees to people. Are there really that many dissatisfied doggie adopters out there? In total she claims almost 93K in other expenses but this time no vet fees…

Almost 3000 dogs she is suddenly now not claiming & yet her web page shows around 3500 dogs. So let’s do the math 3000 dogs X 600.00 = Holy SH*T!!! Time to forward all of this to the I.R.S.!

Moving on:

So I was reading my previous posting because I was trying to figure out what ever became of the animals that were being kept at Wild Eyes Animal Adventures. Going back to the story of Mr Craig from Rocky Mountain Sanctuary, it says

All of Lueck’s animals at the wildlife center, two bears, a mountain lion, a leopard and two tigers were malnourished, for instance.

This was in 2005 but in 2002 there are vastly more animals there, I found a site from a lady who I believe went there in 2002 & she has documented 14 animals

1 Bear: Maye 2 Porcupines: Junior & his mother 1 Bobcat: Freckles 1 Lynx: Logan 1 Tiger: Shakira 1 Raccoon: Rocky 1 Badger: Mr B 1 Lion: Daniel 3 Wolves: Dakota Apache, & Cheyenne 1 Cougar: Ginger 1 Leopard: Jade

1) So where did the extra Bear & Tiger come from?

2) What happened to the 2 Porcupines, the Bobcat, the Lynx, the Raccoon, the Badger, the Barbary Lion, & the 3 Wolves????

3) Did they starve to death as well?

4) AHA! Wait a minute! Remember when Ginger sent out the mass email slandering me, she said the Wild Eyes problem was because she was transporting a leopard across state lines & didn’t know she needed a license?

Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2010 01:27:11 -0700

Hi Everyone. I can not believe i am reading this email tonight I have excluded Brandia on this email. This truly needs to stop. Everything said is not true about many of us rescue people and especially about me.About Branidas accusations, ~ my families property and liens i do not know anything about that at all. Yes I own some properties~ but I also made a good living working hard and I am the owner of the Rickshaw Restaurant for over 34 years! About Montana, we saved a leopard and cross state lines and found out after it was illegal to do without properpermits but this was all settled out of court.Pima Vet School yes we take one or two dogs there twice a month if that. They ask us for dogs and i live only a mile away and the vet Carol Meyer and myself are good friends. I am happy to let you all know and can email you all my vet bills from Greenwood Animal Hospital. I have all my vet bills to show anyone who we are and what we do. I was told & warned by other rescue groups that Brandia had problems with drugs and alcohol. Three weeks ago, Brandia started posting very nasty things about me on Craigslist, flagging my postings down and posting her postings right after mine…..this was how I was able to catch her. This is wrong and needs to stop. I will be contacting my attorney Tom Wolfe to see what can be done about this. If any of you need help please let me know and i can include you as well. We should all be working together as a team to help save as many dogs as possible. Please let me know if I can help you in anyway or if you have any advice. Brandia needs serious help and lets pray she will get that very soon. Thanks so much for reading this ~ Ginger

5) We now know that the conviction was for starving, abusing & neglecting the animals, & for fraudulently acquiring them using forged documents.

6) Could it be that she told on herself? Did they sell those missing 10 animals? There is no documentation of them selling those animals & it would’ve been against the law for them to do so, since all they had was an “Exhibitor’s License”

7) Where did the the extra Bear & Tiger come from really?

8) Mr Craig also states Mr Lueck gave him some of his cats… so where did the rest of those other animals go?

I will put in a PRD request for the USDA to see what all actually happened, & a request to the state of Montana to see what info I can get from them.

Below are the pictures this woman took, please note is has her logo/branding on it, do not remove it if you are going to share it. Thank you for your consideration.

Photographing Animals at Wild Eyes Animal Adventures

I am picked up at the airport around 9:30 A.M. The truck has an 18-month-old grizzly named Maye in the back of it. Because of my late arrival I have missed the shoot with Maye and she is so adorably. In the afternoon we shoot a baby raccoon (Rocky) and lynx kitten (Logan). We used a fenced in pen with a lot of greenery and some tree stumps in it. The animals are placed on the tree stumps and we take pictures as they move around.

The next morning the sun is shining brightly and we take a mountain lion (Ginger) and a leopard (Jade) down to their fenced in compound. What basically happens is the trainers play with the animals and we take pictures.   The animals are bribed with food to climb trees and sit on stumps. The trainers will crouch down a few hundred feet away from the animal and it will charge and leap onto the trainer and then smother him with kisses. I wish I were the one playing with them animals instead of taking their pictures. When the shoot is over we are allowed to pet the animals.   Jade licks my hand puts a paw on each of my shoulders and gives me what feels like a hug while she plays with my hair. I am in heaven.

Later in the afternoon we again shoot the baby lynx and we also shoot a baby bobcat (Freckles). The two look very similar but have different personalities even at this young age. Logan is very vocal and wants to be picked up and cuddled all the time.  This is true regardless of whether he is being photographed or not. If he is not asleep he or being held he is complaining about it. Freckles takes everything in stride and only makes a noise when she is hungry and wants to be feed.

We also get to play with a young Barbary lion (Daniel). I think they said he was 8 months old. In addition to the other babies they also have two wolf pups (Apache & Cheyenne) that I absolutely fall in love with. Whenever possible I climb into the pen and play with them. At first they were a little wary of me but by the time I left they would run over to the fence and beg me to come in every time I saw them.  Thinking of them still makes me feel like crying. I wish I could have smuggled them home somehow.

On day 3 we go back to the same compound with a 3 year old tiger (Shikara), a 13-month-old wolf (Dakota) and the wolf pups. It is basically a repeat of yesterday. Shikara absolutely loves juniper. Rod (the trainer) tells us it is like catnip to tigers. She rubs it all over herself and eats it. The trees are somewhat the worse for wear when she is finished with them but it makes for some wonderful photo opportunities.

After Shikara they get Dakota and the wolf pups. Before Dakota enters the compound I pet him. He stands on his hind legs puts one foot on each of my shoulders and proceeds to wash my face with his tongue just like a big friendly dog would do. I would be willing to come here just so I could play with the animals. Anyway, Dakota just loves playing with the puppies. He is so gentle with them. It is also obvious that the puppies love playing with Dakota. They go over and pester him every few minutes if he starts to ignore them. He also enjoys the freedom of the compound and races around it several times. He is really still a puppy himself and keeps trying to steal the jackets we have shed as the day warmed up. He also likes to pull on any equipment straps we have dangling from our bodies.

When we get back to the lodge I get to pet Shikara as they are unloading her. She rubs up against me and licks my hand. Later in the evening we get to shoot a badger, a porcupine, and the baby cats again. I don’t think I have ever really looked at a porcupine before. They are one of the cutest animals I have ever seen.

During the past few days we have also been allowed to feed the babies. It is amazing how fast they can suck down a bottle of milk. I am not ready to go home yet. There is nothing really unusually about that. I rarely want to go home after a trip. I can’t believe how attached I have become to the wolf pups in 2 and a half days. Maybe it is because I have breed dogs before and theses little guys are so much like dog puppies right down to the puppy breath. Leaving them is going to be the hardest part of this trip.

When I came here I wasn’t sure how I felt about photographing captive animals. I would like to be able to take pictures like this in the wild but it just isn’t possible. The majority of close ups you see in magazines and calendars are taken of captive animals. Many animals are too shy to let people near. Getting too close to a fox or wolf den can stress the animals and cause them to move their den sites. This puts their babies at a higher risk for predation. Others are liable to kill you if you sneak in for a face shot. Admittedly, some pros can spend a lot of time getting a group of animals to trust them and can get close ups of them. Once the animals have learned that people are not a threat then hunters can also get close to them. There is a metro park near me where the deer have learned that people are not a danger and will come right up to you. Some will eat out of your hand. The powers that be have decided that the deer population in the park is too high and now each fall people go in and shoot these deer. Shooting deer that will eat out of your hand is very sporting to me.  While I like having the animals trust me I don’t want to make it easier for the hunters to kill them. The animals are better off if they keep their fear of man.

Bobcat. Lynx, and Raccoon Photographs at Wild Eyes Animal Adventures

I love baby any things.  They are so cute. Rocky, the baby raccoon, was just adorable.  He loved to be picked up and fed, but then what baby doesn’t.  He also enjoyed riding around on your shoulder.  The two kittens were cute also to but were still a little to young to really play with.  They could all put down a bottle of formula in record time.  It was amazing to watch them guzzle the stuff. (The wolf pups are on the wolf page.)  

Bobcat – Freckles

Lynx – Logan

Raccoon – Rocky

Badger Photographs at Wild Eyes Animal Adventures

Mr. B the badger was the nastiest animal we photographed.  Even the trainers didn’t touch him.  When it was time to put him back the caught him in a net.  All he really did was did and snarl and dig.  I don’t have one shot of him without teeth showing and not in a pleasant happy to see you way.  Well OK, sometimes his teeth aren’t showing because they are covers with dirt.

Cougar Photographs at Wild Eyes Animal Adventures

Ginger was the first large animal I got to photograph at Wild Eyes.  She is a beautiful 2 year old cougar.  The trainers bribe her with ground chicken to get her into position.  They also used a orange jug on a rope which she chased enthusiastically.  After the shoot I ask if I can pet her. The trainers say yes but Ginger doesn’t agree.  She growls at me as I approach.  The trainer thinks it is all my photo gear, so I shed my vest and all my other gear and give it another try.  This time Ginger has no objection.

Leopard Photographs at Wild Eyes Animal Adventures

I think that Jade was my favorite animal to photograph.  She was roughly 10 months old and just a beautiful animal.  The setting was also nice.  I like photographing near water so you can get some reflections in the shot.  Of course the fact that she wrapped her paws around my neck and gave me a hug when it was all over didn’t hurt any. 

Porcupine Photographs at Wild Eyes Animal Adventures

Porcupines are one of the cutest animals I have ever seen.  They look so fluffy and soft.  You just want to pick them up and cuddle them even though you know that doing so would be a very bad idea.  Junior is 2 years old and was born at Wild Eyes.  His mother had been shot and some hikers found her and brought her to Wild Eyes.  They soon discovered she was pregnant and Wild Eyes became the proud owners of two porcupines.

  

Tiger Photographs at Wild Eyes Animal Adventures

Shikara is a beautiful 2 year old Siberian Tiger.  She enjoys stalking and tackling her trainers.  After being tackled the trainers get lots of kisses.  It looks like fun.  Like the cougar, Shikara chases the orange jug on a rope and gets bribed with ground chicken to go to certain places in the enclosure.  She also just loves to rub herself in juniper.  The trainers says it is like catnip for tigers.  The bushes are a bit worse for wear when she is done with them.

Wolf Photographs at Wild Eyes Animal Adventures

What can I say, wolf puppies are the best.  The leopard may have been my favorite animal to photograph but the wolf puppies are my favorite animal.  They are so adorable and still have a little puppy breathe.  I can’t really explain why I like the smell of puppy breathe.  It really isn’t something I would want in a perfume but I just love it on puppies.  The wolf pups are kept in a pen outside the lodge.  At first they are a little unsure of me but once I climb in and play with them a little they decide I am OK.  After my first trip into the pen they run over to the fence every time they see me and beg me to come and play with them again.  Naturally I oblige.

When we take the wolf pups out to be photographed we also take along Dakota.  Dakota is a beautiful black 13 month old male wolf.  He loves playing with the puppies and trying to steal our jackets.

As promised I went down to the Snohomish County Courthouse to file my Motion for Contempt of Court  to look up the charge that Hans-jakob Lueck was facing & HOLY FRIKKIN COW!!!

So here is the information sheet so I can establish I am in fact talking about Hans Jakob Lueck the director of Ginger’s Death Row Pet Rescue.

Here is the charging paper showing he was arrested for manufacture of a controlled substance

Okay this is where it gets interesting to me… This is the Affidavit of Probable cause it just states the incidents surrounding the arrest & why the state believes they have a case… Okay I have ALWAYS thought there was more of a relationship between Ginger, her husband, Everett Animal Control Officers, LOOK ON PAGE 2 THE SECOND PARAGRAPH AND TELL ME THE FIRST NAME YOU SEE ON THEIR DRUG DISTRIBUTION LEDGER, BUT TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE SPELLING!!! IF I AM CORRECT AS TO WHO THIS IS THIS WHOLE THING HAS JUST GONE FEDERAL!!!

PAGE 1

PAGE 2

Honestly I don’t do drugs, I am allergic to alcohol so I don’t drink but given the choice of which should be legal I think marijuana should be legal & alcohol should be outlawed. If Mr Hans Jakob Lueck had just had some in his possession for his own personal use then it would not be of issue but the money to grow the pot to make more money UNDOUBTEDLY came from the proceeds of Ginger’s Death Row Pet Rescue…

AREN’T YOU GLAD TO KNOW THAT YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY THAT YOU THOUGHT WAS GOING TO HELP ANIMALS IS ACTUALLY GOING TO THE GROWTH & DISTRIBUTION OF AN ILLEGAL MARIJUANA FACILITY???

THAT WAS AWFUL NICE OF ALL OF YOU ADOPTERS TO PAY FOR HIS BAIL & FOR HIS ATTORNEY LOOKING AT THE CASE IT SEEMS HE GOT THE BEST LAWYER YOUR MONEY COULD BUY.

I am so sorry to keep harping on the animals at Wild Eyes but now they are haunting my dreams… I did an image search for Wild Eyes to see if I could find any additional photos & there was a lady there, a lady that can’t seem to tell the truth. Her story starts out as a free trip paid for by the Boys & Girls club, & she discovers this place but then she goes on to say she had done a photo shoot with one of the animals previously. Most disturbing she says of the White Tiger that she was so thin that it “was no fun to take pictures of her” WTF??? So you got your jolly little photo ops but left those poor creatures there to starve to death?

My biggest fear is growing up around the Asian Community in Hawaii I KNOW what prices exotics bring in to be used for “medicinal purposes” they are slaughtered & only a very minute portion of the animal is used & only the richest of people can afford to buy these portions.

Now if you remember, Ginger Luke & Hans Lueck CONVICTION was for abuse, neglect, cruelty & for buying animals illegally.

NOT for bringing them across state lines:

But if you also remember in the mass email she sent out to everyone about ME she claims the charges were for transporting animals across state lines & it was all settled out of court.

ALWAYS remember there is always a grain of truth in every lie, so is there another charge for transporting them? Or is that something else she didn’t get caught doing? Who knows, she is the one who said it so she is the one who truly knows what she has done.

I just want to know if people realize that wild animals are not toys? They are not photo ops, they are not here to amuse us, they belong in the WILD, not on ranches run by greedy unscrupulous people, they have a place in our ecological system, they have a purpose, they have value & worth.

The FIRST animal I have confirmed as being alive & well is Maye, she is at the Wild Animal Sanctuary…

Maye: USDA Confiscation—Maye came from a photography studio where the owner would use her in photographs with clients. Her owner decided it was not a lucrative enough business and therefore no longer wanted Maye. She was rescued by TWAS where she will always be wanted.

The Second is Magic the Black Bear!!!

Magic: USDA Confiscation—Magic came from a photography studio where the owner would use her in photographs with clients. His owner decided it was not a lucrative enough business and therefore no longer wanted Magic. He was rescued by TWAS where he will always be wanted.

Here are the animals this woman documented in 2005

Ginger the mountain lion

Milo the bobcat

Maye the Bear (MAYE ALMOST DIDN'T MAKE IT SHE HAD INTERNAL ORGAN DAMAGE & AN INGROWN COLLAR THAT HAD TO BE SURGICALLY REMOVED, THE RESCUERS ESTIMATED IT HAD BEEN PLACED ON HER AS A BABY & NEVER REMOVED BUT SHE IS DOING WELL NOW)

Aiden Golden Tabby Tiger (Rare) (DIED FROM NEGLECT IN SPITE OF ANOTHER RESCUES BEST EFFORTS, REST IN PEACE SWEET LITTLE ONE, ALL OF HIS ORGANS ALSO SHUT DOWN BECAUSE OF LONG TERM STARVATION)

Unnamed Leopard (DOING WELL AT A SANCTUARY ALSO IN SPITE OF PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS CAUSED BY STARVATION)

Daniel the Lion

Hunter Baby Lynx

Now here is the story that upset me so much, it was from 2005, yet Mr Lueck was not arrested or convicted until 1 year later

Kalispell Travel Blog

Big Brothers Big Sisters had give me a free airline ticket to anyplace they flew to, so I went on the internet to look at things to do in those various cities. I stumbled upon a place called Wild Eyes in Kalispell, MT. It was a place set up for professional photographers to go and shoot pictures of wild animals in a natural setting instead of them spending hours/days/weeks trying to find them in the wild. Those expensive, it sounded perfect since I have a great passion for animals.

While I was there, I got to interact with many animals: bobcat, lynx, wolf, grizzly bear, black bear, mountain lion and tigers. When I was shooting pictures, these animals (one at a time) were running loose in a large compound with me. Some of the animals would rub up against me…others, like the grizzly and tigers were about four feet away.

Ginger (Mountain Lion): I could hear Ginger before I could see her as the handler brought her from her enclosure to the compound. She was heavily panting. As she was walked by me (still on a leash), I was shocked at how long and thick her tail was. Ginger was happy to be out of her enclousre and let me know it by rubbing up against me and purring. I was able to pet her and feel the thickness of her fur.
Brittany (Gray Wolf): There were two wolves to choose from…a female gray wolf and a black, male wolf. The male wolf looked scary and was growling, to I asked to use Brittany (the female) for my photo shoot. Brittany was also excited to be able to run about the compound. At one point, she jumped up on me, put a paw on each shoulder, and started slurping my face.

She was so tall (taller than me)! She then laid down on her back and presented her belly to me for rubs…a truly submissive action. She was so beautiful!
Milo (Pacific Northwest Bobcat): I once had a pixie-bob cat that looked very much like Milo, but about 10 pounds lighter. Milo presented his butt to me and made a chirping sound…much like he would do to another bobcat in the wild. The handler told me Milo must really like and trust me to do that. I got some really great shots of Milo…one looked like he was staring right at me and posing for the camera…what a ham!
Maye (Grizzly Bear): Mae was hysterical! Before the photo shoot, the handler had given her an emu egg for the very first time. Maye started to spin it around with her paw, checking it out. She then put too much weight on the egg and it broke, spewing egg yoke all over her paw.

You would have thought she was being killed….she ran screaming into her den, the whole time shaking her paw. It was as if she was screaming “Get it off! Get it off!”. During the photo shoot, the handler was giving her treats to behave and pose. Unlike most bears, Maye didn’t like fish. So the handler was giving her a different treat…gummy bears, of all things! Well, Maye got a sugar rush after a while. First she scurried up a tree. When she came down, she flopped on her back, grabbed a low branch of a tree, and started scratching her head. Then she got up, saw a big mud puddle, ran to it, flopped down on her belly, and began making swimming motions with her legs. She reminded me of a kid playing in a puddle.
Aiden (Rare Golden Tabby Tiger): Aiden was about a year old and just learning the ropes when it came to posing for photos.

He reminded me of a big house cat with pitiful little mews of protest. Because he was still being trained, I didn’t get more than a couple of feet from him, just to be on the safe side.
Lydia (Lynx): My first encounter with Lydia was during breakfast. I was eating some cereal and all of a sudden, a lynx was on the table with one foot in my bowl. She also presented her butt to me and chirped (gee, nothing like the smell of lynx butt first thing in the morning…and she was farty!). I was able to hold Lydia and play with her before the photo shoot. Just to remind you how dangerous these animals really are…even though they were raised in captivity…the handler happened to get between Lydia and a piece of meat. Lydia jumped up and almost took the handler’s face off. Luckily, she had been declawed because she was more of a pet to him.

Not a practice I agree with. Apparently in Montana, one may keep bobcats, lynx and wolves as pets like any other animal (also a practice I don’t agree with).

Kaylar (Siberian Tiger): Kaylar was huge! As long as I was behind my camera, I felt safe…as if it offered me protection, so I wasn’t scared. I did keep my distance, however, and the handler had a gun with him just in case, for emergencies. Kaylar was content to lounge on the ground and groom herself.
Jewell (White Siberian Tiger): Jewell was very thin compared to Kaylar. She had blue eyes and was cross-eyed. Like a lot of white tigers, her vision was poor. Because of her thinness, I didn’t enjoy photographing her as much as the other animals.

Other animals I got to see, but didn’t take photos of:
Magic (black bear), a leopard (that even the handler didn’t trust), several other tigers, and Daniel (lion).

The larger compound was flooded, so I didn’t get to take photos of Daniel, but I did get close to him…only a chain-link fence separated him and me, so I was within inches and could pet him with my fingers through the fence. He stood up on his hind legs and towered over me by several feet. His paws were the size of dinner plates. The handler gave him an emu leg to eat and Daniel looked gruesome with blood on his muzzle. I had actually met Magic three years earlier when he was a six month old cub. When he was that small, I had taken him out to hunt for huckleberries. The handler also had a  baby lynx named Hunter whose eyes opened for the first time when I was there. Talk about adorable!
