Greetings!
This
bill which I co authored in 2007 was titled " A Federal Ban on the
Breeding of the Exotic Feline for Personal Possession" is now titled
"The Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act". It was introduced in
the United States House of Representatives by co-sponsers Rep. Buck
McKeon and Rep. Loretta Sanchez on February 29, 2012. A press conference
officiated by myself, Rep Buck McKeon and Rep Loretta Sanchez held at
the Shambala Preserve on April 2, 2012 introduced the bill to the
public. I
am very proud of this pending legislation and am looking forward to
going to Washington during its markup in committee to testify concerning
it's final content. Supporting this bill upon its final approval
is imperative. Click here for a summary of H.R. 4122 and what you can do to help get this important legislation passed.

 Shambala Under Construction We
at Shambala are looking into the future so we can provide sanctuary for
additional animals. Prior to this it is our responsibility to renovate
12 compounds to meet our high standards which greatly exceed the
standards put forth by all the various public agencies. We are currently
nearing the completion of two new compounds. Safety, security and
expanse of the enclosures is of primary importance for all concerned at
the Shambala Preserve for both animal and human. To
illustrate how we are exceeding current regulatory mandates, these new
compounds are comprised of 1200 linear feet of fencing enclosing 168,800
square feet of space at a cost of over $100,000.

 Fire Safety Clearance The
responsibility of keeping Shambala safe is an ongoing endeavor.
Spending $20,000 on clearing the hillsides of excess foliage such as
trees and shrubs on 40 acres is a part of the one million dollars per
year spent to maintain the Preserve.
