It’s time for another thread about SafariSammie, the exotic animals that star in her videos, and the much darker story that her videos of nose boops, belly rubs, & interspecies play sessions don’t show. 🧵 Image A TLDR for the last thread: viral TikTok account SafariSammie stars the exotic animals owned by Carl Bovard of Single Vision Inc, a “nonprofit wildlife education facility”. Bovard’s website claims that the organization is dedicated to the conservation & education of wildlife.

On Oct. 11, 2022 HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza) hit Knuckle Bump Farms, home to Emmanuel the TikTok-famous emu. This left Emmanuel and a black swan named Rico as the sole survivors of a flock of 50+ birds. It also left many, including experts, looking for answers. 🧵 Controversy first began when owner Taylor Blake posted photos of her and Emmanuel w/o wearing PPE. Due to HPAI's ability to rapidly mutate, PPE is encouraged to prevent bird-to-human infection. However, Blake claimed that Emmanuel "freaks out" when people wear PPE around him.

Many of you have brought up a very good question- who owns the animals that @/safarisammie posts on her Tiktok? Sammie does not list the name despite many of her 2 million followers asking to visit, volunteer, and donate. And there's a good reason for her to keep it quiet: Image These animals are owned by Carl Bovard who runs "Single Vision Inc.", a 10 acre roadside zoo operating out of Melrose, FL. It is licensed by the @USDA and @MyFWC and has accumulated over 36 violations between 2014 and 2021, several of which are considered "critical". Image

Further proof that some vets shouldn’t be allowed to treat cats. To clarify: cats don’t get depressed when you spend time with them. Cats can get stressed with any significant change to established routines- that’s not because they hate you/don’t want to be around you, it’s because, like children and dogs, routine is comfortable for them.

This is making rounds again and I hate it because I’m 99% sure that both cats in the picture were declawed and that’s why they’re shaved like that. So I’m going to post a couple haircuts that I’ve done that didn’t involve cat mutilation: Image

Why you should vote for the Hoary bat: a thread.
What small mammal can be found in Canada, Hawaii, Bermuda, Iceland, Chile, & Scotland's Orkney Islands? That's right, it's this fluffy little powdered donut, bc underneath that floof & frosted tips is a tenacious, remarkable bat. Hoary bats are a migratory species, & travel some of the longest distances of any bat. In fact, they are the only bats- and the only extant, native terrestrial mammal- found in Hawai'i, having flown more than 2,236mi (3,600km) over the Pacific Ocean over 10,000 years ago.
