Leopards in Arkansas: Spend a little time and get to know the three leopards that currently call Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge home. As you know, these felines are not native to the United States; they have been brought and bred here through the Exotic Pet Trade. Each of Turpentine Creek's leopard residents share a similar back story but diverse personalities.
Selbit was rescued from a closing facility in Colorado in 2016. The Colorado Project is said to be the largest exotic animal rescue in the United States. TCWR worked with multiple agencies to rehome 115 animals. Selbit, likely named after famous musician P.T. Selbit, was used in a magic show before being sold to the Colorado facility, where he was further exploited. Because of his past, Seblit is very "grumbly" and despite living in the safety of TCWR for three years, is only just now emerging from his shell. We have worked to build a trusting connection with him; that combined with patience and a stable environment has helped him overcome his trauma. The Selbit you see in the video, sunning his back and happily licking away at a cool summer treat is a far cry from the anti-social and highly anxious boy we met three years ago. He still has some obstacles to overcome, but we're proud of his pawgress, one day at a time!
Magic, too, was used in a magic show then rescued from a different closing facility. Leopards in these shows are encouraged to be vocal, so you can frequently hear her "talking" when you visit the Refuge. This pretty girl had had to overcome her fair share of anxiety but has had more time to adapt than Selbit. We saved her in 2010, and she has adopted a fairly laid-back personality. She is trusting of several team members but is on high alert with most new people and quickly lets them know if she doesn't like them. We treat Magic with the same patience that we do Selbit and all of our other animal residents. At our sanctuary, she is able to scowl, play, observe people from her perch, and "weedeat" until her heart's content.
Spyke is our only black leopard, and his story is a bit different. His parents were rescued from a defunct zoo in New York state. We didn't know it, but his mother was pregnant with him when she was rescued! This resulted in a surprise birth at TCWR in 2008. The tiny leopard grew up in the safe, positive environment of a true sanctuary, but his cattitude speaks to the fact that wild animals remain wild, even if they are raised in captivity! Spyke is trusting of his caretakers but would clearly give anything to have them to dinner- and not to say "thank you!" He loves to stalk staff members and guests from inside his enclosure. He is part of our behavioral management training program, which we are using to make vaccines less stressful for him. The goal is to get him used to the touch of the syringe through the fence and have him associate it as a positive action by giving him a treat. He loves treats and is building a trusting bond with his trainer, but....that still doesn't stop him from swiping his paws through the fence at her! Spyke is 100% a wild man.
Spyke is lucky to have been raised in such a positive environment without having to undergo the abuse and neglect his companions have. Thankfully, you can stop other animals like Magic and Selbit from enduring pain and fear by visiting tcwr.org/advocacy. There are two propsed bills on the page: one will outlaw "cub petting" and the other will ban the use of animals in "traveling shows," such as circuses or magic shows. We have created easy-to-fill-out forms that will allow you to contact your congressional reps and ask them to support these bills!
