In this podcast episode, Nandita Rao Narla explores the reasons why privacy threat modeling programs often fail, such as being expensive with a lot of friction in the development lifecycle, misalignment with organizational strategies focused on compliance rather than risk, and difficulty demonstrating a clear return on investment. Nandita highlights some successful strategies, including leveraging existing security threat modeling resources, simplifying the approach for better adoption like Adam Shostack's four-question framework, aligning with organizational values and culture, and encouraging a mindset of considering what could go wrong. The role of tooling in privacy threat modeling is discussed, with most organizations currently not using many dedicated tools beyond data mapping and asset discovery, while larger companies with mature programs may utilize more advanced tooling. Ultimately, privacy threat modeling represents the next frontier, with a strong privacy program partnering with security threat modeling being the next generation approach.Welcome to Smart Threat Modeling.

Debbie Reynolds, “The Data Diva” talks to Nandita Rao Narla, Head of Technical Privacy & Governance, DoorDash. Nandita shares her journey from cybersecurity to privacy engineering, providing valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities in the field. The conversation covers a range of topics, including the difference between cybersecurity and privacy, the importance of data governance, and the complexities of data deletion and AI in relation to privacy.Debbie and Nandita discuss the challenges companies face with data retention and deletion. We explain that privacy regulations have brought in requirements around data retention, which has become a risk for companies that are accustomed to keeping everything. We also mention the lack of data governance programs and the high cost of implementing end-of-life data controls. Debbie and Nandita agree that this is a difficult and expensive problem for most companies and that privacy teams are being asked to do more with less, and Nandita shares her hope for Data Privacy in the future.Support the show

Week 35 - Take Three or Ten You can read AND see pictures on my blog - barbarafaison.com/blog All the links are here - LINKTR.EE/BARBARAFAISON My mission is to use my voice to heal, educate and inspire by sharing tools to help people live life better. I've mentioned before that I am an LL, a lifelong learner, and an LS, a lifelong sharer. My mother was an elementary school teacher, my father, a librarian and my paternal grandmother was also a teacher. As the saying goes, I got it honestly and the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. One of my dear cousins, Narla, is a teacher in Pensacola, FL. Growing up our families would visit each other during the year and we would write each other letters between visits. It makes me smile to think about how writing and sharing our interests kept us connected for decades. Narla still sends lovely cards for my birthday, wedding anniversary and just to say she is thinking about me and our family. There is nothing like receiving handwritten correspondence in the mail in 2023. She has been such a great supporter of my work and meditation sessions. I truly appreciate the encouragement. I love getting notes, emails and text messages from Narla letting me that my meditation work is impactful and that she shares my information with others. What makes this so special is that Narla is NOT on any social media, so her sharing my work with others is very intentional and I am so grateful for her spreading the word about my offerings. Narla just emailed a link to an article called Why You Should Take a Minute to Meditate (Almost) Every Day by Dan Harris, Former ABC News anchor and Author/co-founder/host of @10percent Happier- book + app + podcast. Dan talks about taking one minute to meditate most days for a month. He gives examples of when you can meditate in your day to make it a habit. The article is a quick read if you want to check it out. Creating space in your day for what is important is essential to taking care of yourself. I mentioned last week on my blog post that sometimes taking a few breaths is a great way to move into meditation.  Why not try one or more of these practices? Take a moment to stop and take three conscious breaths. Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. Set a reminder on your phone to take three or more conscious breaths when the alarm goes off…it's a great practice to start. If you have 3:33 mins, take 10 conscious breaths. You can find a link to this practice on my YouTube artist channel, Barbara J. Faison. This track is also on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Insight Timer and other digital platforms. I'd love for you to bookmark my page and listen wherever you get your music or meditations online. If you stopped to take any conscious breaths, let me know by replying to this newsletter or you can reach me at barbarafaisonllc@gmail.com or direct message me on social media, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn are best.

Privacy threat modeling is a structured approach to identifying and assessing potential privacy risks associated with a particular system, application, or process. It involves analyzing how personal data flows through a system, identifying potential vulnerabilities or weaknesses, and evaluating the potential consequences of a privacy breach. The goal of privacy threat modeling is to identify and prioritize potential privacy risks and to develop effective strategies for mitigating those risks. This process involves considering various aspects of the system or process being analyzed, including the data that is collected, how it is stored and processed, who has access to it, and how it is transmitted. Privacy threat modeling can help organizations better understand their privacy risks and make more informed decisions about how to protect personal data. Implementing privacy measures and conducting regular privacy threat modeling can help organizations minimize the risk of a privacy breach and ultimately save them money in the long run. Nandita Rao Narla, Head of Technical Privacy & Governance at DoorDash, joins the show to explain privacy threat modeling, the common misconceptions, and how to make a privacy threat model program successful. Topics: What is privacy threat modeling? How do you balance the need to collect and use data with the need to protect privacy, and what role does privacy threat modeling play in this process? Who typically owns this process in an organization? What are some of the typical approaches companies follow to privacy threat modeling? How should companies think about setting up a process to continually iterate and evolve the model? Once you've performed this process, how do you go about fixing the identified issues? What are some common misconceptions about privacy threat modeling, and how would you address those misconceptions? How do you determine which threats to prioritize when conducting privacy threat modeling, and what factors do you consider when making these decisions? How do you involve stakeholders (e.g. customers, employees, regulators) in the privacy threat modeling process, and what benefits do you see in doing so? What challenges have you encountered when conducting privacy threat modeling, and how have you overcome these challenges? How does privacy threat modeling differ from other types of risk assessments (e.g. security risk assessments), and what unique challenges does it present? What advice would you give to other companies looking to implement privacy threat modeling as part of their privacy and security strategy? How do you see privacy threat modeling evolving in the future? Resources: Shostack and Associates Blog Strategic Privacy by Design LINDDUN privacy engineering

Why We Quit Breeding in 1997 What most of you probably do know is that PurrFection and PurrSistence the ocelots were litter mates who were born here in 1996.  What you may not know is why.   Back then we believed zoos and breeders who said that ocelots are endangered and should be bred for conservation purposes.  AZA zoos were starting up something called the Brazilian Ocelot Project and member zoos were purportedly paying $3,000 to Brazil for each ocelot they took from the wild there to be part of this breeding program.  Their goal was to breed ocelots in zoos and send some of them to TX to re-establish the populations that had been wiped out by hunters.   We had healthy ocelots already and wanted to do our part to re-establish these lost TX populations and did not want cats to be taken from the wild, so we offered to help.  What was soon discovered by the zoos though is that ocelots have regional instincts.  In Central and South America ocelots eat snakes because most of them are non poisonous.  When these ocelots were released into TX they went after rattlesnakes, and the project was over almost instantly upon release.   That's why PurrFection and PurrSistence still live here and part of why we quit breeding.  Even with the smaller species of wild cats, there is too much risk in trying to breed for release when the real answer is in protecting habitat and enabling native populations to rebound.  You will hear a lot of nonsense by tiger breeders these days claiming they are breeding for conservation.  Now that the US Fish & Wildlife Service is about to rescind the generic tiger loophole, the bad guys are getting even more outrageous by claiming that they are breeding extinct species of tigers and that their tigers are purebred.  This is not true.  The only purebred tigers who can be used in Species Survival Plans are in AZA accredited zoos but even then, there is no legitimate release program for captive bred big cats.   I thought you might also find interesting some of the stuff that goes on behind the scenes here involving exotic cats that your hard work is helping to save, even though you may never see the cats.   What prompted me thinking about the ocelots was a recent request we got from a woman who was upset that an AZA zoo was keeping an ocelot in a tiny, barren, indoor cell and breeding her every year for more kittens to put in cages.  The reason she was not allowed to be outside where the public could see her is because when she was born her father reached her from under the fence, pulled her into his cage and chewed her leg off.  Not wanting to lose a potential kitten machine, but not wanting to answer the public as to why she was missing a leg, this ocelot was kept in solitary confinement.  She was apparently so traumatized by the events that she would try to kill potential mates, so they bred her using artificial insemination.  We offered to take her.  The zoo didn't want the cat to go to a sanctuary so they quieted the complainant by giving the ocelot some outdoor space.  It's not a very happy ending, but better than the life she's had.   Since the last newsletter there have been several cases where people have reported bobcat and cougar sightings.  One was a mother bobcat trying to get her kitten across a busy 4 lane highway in Lakeland.  We drove out to make sure no one got killed.   Someone in AZ found a baby bobcat who had been left for two days by her mother as the people stayed back and watched for her return.  After a storm nearly drowned her they decided the mother wasn't coming back, brought her in and began searching for a local rehabber.  No one was calling her back and every where she turned Big Cat Rescue appeared as the authority on rehabbing bobcats so she called us.  We talked her through the emergency care and who to contact at the AZ Dept. of Wildlife to find a rehabber to help make sure this little one ends up back in the wild, where she belongs.   Another bobcat sighting was in the stairwell of an apartment complex in New Port Richey.  Management wanted the cat trapped or killed and by the time we got off the phone with them the bobcat was a minor celebrity there and the manager was planning on a big PR campaign for why having bobcats was much better than having rats.   A cougar report came in from both Riverview and Oldsmar with similar requests and results.  Initially callers just wanted the cats gone, but by the time we got done with them they were organizing neighborhood watch teams to try and gather photos, footprints and evidence to persuade the FWC to declare their area Florida Panther protected habitat.   When the people promoting Florida Panther week said they would have a presentation that let people know what it was like to hold a panther kitten we contacted them to say we would be a major sponsor of the first ever Florida Panther Festival, but only if there were no live displays of wild cats.  They have agreed that no live cats will be used in their event.   A concerned citizen in Canada sent us photos of a lion with broken teeth at Gudzoo and asked if exposed roots were always painful.  Dr. Wynn replied with a web page reference that indicates that to be the case.  This zoo is already in the process of being closed down for a plethora of other violations, but this expert opinion helps make the case for why they should not be allowed to exhibit big cats.   I am sure there were more, but another inquiry came from Sri Lanka about a wild leopard who had an eye injury.  They were asking for expert advice on what could be done for her so we hooked them up with the vet who has helped us with Bagheera, Jefferson and Narla's eyes, Dr. Tammy Miller Michau Diplomate, American college of veterinary ophthalmologists.  She was able to advise them that the injury did not appear to be causing her pain and was probably best left alone unless she began finding it too hard to hunt.   We have also been working feverishly behind the scenes to get more malls and fairs to quit allowing the exhibit of wild cats at their venues.  So far the CatLaws.com letter writing campaigns and the work by Susan Bass to educate the malls and media have been paying off.  At last count the number of comments on rescinding the generic tiger exemption was over 11,000 and appear to be almost entirely in favor of the new rule.  The AZA has asked for an extension so they can comment and it was granted for another 30 days, but we think they are for it too.  If you haven't commented yet, please do so now and say, "I am in favor of rescinding the generic tiger exemption."  That's all you need to say. http://www.regulations.gov/#!submitComment;D=FWS-R9-IA-2011-0027-0001   Thanks for all you do every day to enable Big Cat Rescue to help so many wild cats around the world!   I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/   I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.     You can help feed the cats at no cost to you using Amazon Smile!

2010 Annual Report   Big Cat Rescue is more than just a place that provides permanent care for big cats.  It is a movement;  a change in the tide of human perceptions and is the combined effort of more than 50,000 supporters.  If you are one of them, you are a Big Cat Rescuer and the following is the great work YOU did!  If you haven't helped yet, you can do so now at the top right of the screen or here:  http://bigcatrescue.org/donate.htm   Big Cat Rescue's Mission Statement: Big Cat Rescue's dual mission is to provide the best home we can for the cats in our care and educate the public about the plight of these majestic animals, both in captivity and in the wild, to end abuse and avoid extinction.  We are Caring for Cats and Ending the Trade   Advances:  With your help we are winning in the battle for compassion! Up until 2003 the number of requests for rescues we had to turn down due to lack of space or funds had roughly doubled each year, to 312 that year. We feared it would double again to over 500 in 2004. Instead, it has steadily declined since then thanks to the passage of a federal bill and several state bills that restrict the ownership of exotic cats. This year we “only” had to turn away 89 big cats who were unwanted by their owners. We offered to take all of the cats who were cougar size or smaller, if their owners would contract to never own another exotic cat, but they all refused.  We just do not have enough Senior Keeper staff to take on more lions or tigers.   By now everyone knows that communication and fundraising will be cell phone centric.  On April 30, 2009 we added mobile phone number collection to our contact forms and promoted this new request with the Animal Lover's Dream Vacation Giveaway. Our winners said, “It was the most fun we've ever had!”   Our new Intranet site established in January 2010 where all of our staff, volunteers, board and vet care professionals can interact and share information. This cloud based system was provided free via a Google grant and enables us to keep all of the sanctuary documents in a password protected cloud where Rescuers can log in and post their observations for the vet and can share photos, videos and stories with each other.  Our cloud can be accessed via a dozen or more computers at the sanctuary, Rescuer's home computers, smart phones and iPads.  Those who subscribe to the site, such as the CEO, President, Operations Manager and the Vets can see, in real time, as observations are posted about the cats.  This insures that there are always many eyes on the look out for ways to enhance the cat care at Big Cat Rescue.   Animal Care:  By the end of this year, 77 of our 115 cats are over the age of 15. This is well beyond how long they are designed to live in the wild and much older than most zoo cats.  This is a testament to the excellent animal care we provide, but we are dealing with many more age related illnesses and are losing more of our big cat friends every year.  Cats who required extensive veterinary care in 2010 were Alachua Bob, Bagheera, Bellona, Catera, Cha Cha, Cloe, Crystal, Freckles, Hercules, India, King, Narla, Nirvana, Pretender, Purrfection, Sarmoti, Servie, Snorkel, Sophie, Takoma, Tonga and Windsong. These cats were moved so they would have new neighbors and surroundings for their own enrichment: Freckles, Indian Summer, Modnic, Narla. Nikita & Simba, Peaches, Precious, Reno, Sundari and Thing. Even though we offered to rescue the 19 lesser cats and 3 lions and tigers who were in need of rescue in 2010, Skip, Angelica and Midnight, Rain and Storm the bobcats, Servie the serval, Narla, Freddy and Sassyfrass the cougars were the only ones who ended up here.  We found a rehabber for a bobcat in TN as well.  The rest did not come here because the owners refused to contract with us to never own exotic cats again.   Despite triple bypass heart surgery in August, Vern stayed busy this year with all of the maintenance issues and with these 32 cage improvements: Armani & Jade, Bailey & Moses, Bengali, Calvin, Cameron & Zabu, China & Khan, Crazy Bobcats, Despurrado, Diablo, Flavio, Freckles, Jefferson, Joseph & Sasha, King, Modnic, Nala, Natasha & Willow, Nikita, Nikita & Simba, Rambo, Rehab Bobcats, Sarmoti, TJ, Trick E and Windstar. On 3/18/10 we had another perfect USDA inspection.   Education:  Our website is primarily an educational tool and according to Alexa we are ranked 266,861 worldwide and 110,338 most visited website in the U.S.  We have 458 other sites linking to us.   We offer about 58 outreach and field trips per year and have committed to offering 12 of them for free each year to lower income schools, but have already given 25 such free tours this year and expect that demand will continue to rise with the cost of transportation.  Even when we offer the tours for free, many schools cannot come because they cannot afford the $200.00 fee for their busses.  Our Education Department began writing grant proposals to raise the money needed for the buses.   Volunteer Committee Member, Sharyn Beach, was published at Encyclopedia Britannica with the best statement ever written about why breeding white tigers is Conserving a Lie.   Our web site addresses local and global concerns about environment and has over 17,000 pages of information, movie clips, sounds, safe interactive online games with a conservation theme and photos. From 1/1/2008 until 9/9/2010 the site was visited 3,642,337 times, resulting in 8,197,155 page views.  In any given week the visitors will be roughly 33% from 218 countries outside of the U.S. as you can see from this breakdown:   United States 2,757,351, Poland 204,209, Canada 198,127, United Kingdom 127,246, Australia 40,618, India 24,496, Germany 17,428, Japan 13,023, France 11,017, Netherlands 9,593, Philippines 8,559, Singapore 8,545, Sweden 8,177, Italy 8,136, Brazil 8,024, Malaysia 7,793, Spain 7,779, New Zealand 7,740, Ireland 6,788, South Africa 6,697, Mexico 6,554, Belgium 5,994, Russia 5,986, Indonesia 5,627, Finland  5,364 and Turkey 5,248 to name a few.   The information provided has helped wildlife rehabilitators identify animals and obtain proper care instruction, helped officials in smuggling cases to identify rare species of exotic cats being illegally traded and those are just a few of the ways that we know the site has had an impact this year.   Big Cat Rescue has been in the press 694 times, in 31+ states including AL, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, GA, FL, HI, IO, IN, IL, KY, LA, MA, MN, MO, MT, NC, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, VA & WA and dozens of programs of national or international coverage or in countries other than the U.S.   Legislation/Education: The steady increase in legislation banning private ownership represents recognition by our society that private ownership leads to massive abuse.  Social values evolve.  It took decades to ban slavery in England and for women to win the right to vote in America.  Those ideas started out as “radical”, held by a small minority.  Gradually more and more people understood and agreed until they became a part of our value system that we take for granted today.  The same trend is happening with private ownership of exotics.  Gradually more and more people are realizing that this simply leads to widespread abuse of these animals.  The best evidence of this is the accelerating trend in state laws.   Just since 2005 eight more states have passed some level of ban. Sweden, Austria, Costa Rica, India, Finland, Bolivia, Greece and Singapore have all banned or restricted the utilization of big cats in circuses-it's time for the U.S. & South Africa to do the same!   Nationwide & Canada:  Dade City's Wild Things acquired a white tiger cub from G.W. Exotics, a notorious Oklahoma breeder, that they are marketing to the hilt in order to make money off her as quickly as possible.  To accomplish that they dragged her into PetSmart to drum up some business.  Almost 900 advocates responded to our alert and wrote to PetSmart demanding an end to displays of exotics like this, knowing the bad message it sends.  We're very pleased to share that PetSmart listened and  immediately responded positively.  According to corporate spokesperson  Margie Wojciechowski  at the Phoenix, AZ headquarters, she confirmed she had just come from a meeting and the company has “reinforced with our managers that no exotic pets are allowed on store premises.  There will be no live display of exotic animals for events.”     • FL Sept. 1, 2010:  The Florida Wildlife Commission passes final rules on the keeping of wild animals. • FL June 23, 2010: Thanks to thousands of letters from Big Cat AdvoCats the Florida Wildlife Commission agreed to change the wording of their Nuisance Wildlife rules so that bobcats who are trapped as nuisance wildlife may not be killed, but rather must be released.  While our 2,000+ letters asked that bobcats be removed from the list of nuisance wildlife we are still thankful that the FWC has decided to at least spare the life of bobcats who are trapped this way.  We will continue to educate the FWC and the public as to why bobcats are so necessary to our ecosystem so that they may soon be removed from the list of animals that may be trapped. • FL June 23, 2010: Animal AdvoCats vs Animal Terrorists. The FWC agreed to ban the practice of “fox penning” which was a blood sport in 16 locations in FL where foxes, coyotes and bobcats would be trapped or purchased from trappers to be turned loose in fenced areas for the purpose of training hunting dogs.  Packs of dogs would be turned loose in the pens and scored on how persistant they were in chasing the wildlife.  The FWC had rules that required hiding places for the wildlife, but investigators found that the operators would often block the access to the safety areas so that the foxes, coyotes and bobcats could be cornered and ripped apart by the dogs for the amazement and betting opportunities of the dog owners.  For the first time in the history of the FWC meetings that we have attended since 1993 there were more animal advocates than animal terrorists in the room to testify.  52 concerned citizens spoke up in favor of a ban while only 20 animal abusers / hunters spoke up in favor of continuing the blood sport as part of their “cultural heritage and God given right.”  As more of these egregious practices are exposed we expect the number of main stream Americans who show up and speak up to increase. • FL June 3, 2010: Thanks to thousands of letters from Big Cat AdvoCats the legislature amended Florida Statutes 379.374 Bond required, amount. (2) No person, party, firm, association, or corporation shall possess or exhibit to the public either with or without charge or admission fee, any Class I wildlife, as defined in s. 379.303 and commission rule, without having first guaranteed financial responsibility, in the sum of $10,000, for any liability which may be incurred in the possession or exhibition to the public of Class I wildlife. The commission shall adopt, by rule, the methods of payment that satisfy the financial responsibility, which may include cash, the establishment of a trust fund, an irrevocable letter of credit, casualty insurance, a corporate guarantee, or any combination thereof, in the sum of $10,000 which shall be posted with the commission. In lieu of the $10,000 financial responsibility guarantee required in this subsection, the person, party, firm, association, or corporation has the option to maintain comprehensive general liability insurance, with minimum limits of $2 million per occurrence and $2 million annual aggregate, as shall protect the person, party, firm, association, or corporation from claims for damage for personal injury, including accidental death, as well as claims for property damage which may arise. Proof of such insurance shall be submitted to the commission.  Effective July 1, 2010.  In 2009 there were 111 Class I possessors in FL who managed to escape the bond requirement because they claimed they were not “exhibitors.”  This new language was necessary to close the loophole in the 2007 law so that all “possessors” of Class I animals must post this minimal bond. • OH July 1, 2010: A deal struck between The Humane Society of the United States, Ohio agriculture leaders and Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland will lead to major animal welfare improvements in Ohio on a raft of issues to protect exotic, domestic and farmed animals. The agreement includes recommendations from all of the parties for the Ohio Livestock Care Standards Care Board, the Legislature, and the Governor to ban the acquisition of dangerous exotic animals as pets, such as primates, bears, lions, tigers, large constricting and venomous snakes, crocodiles and alligators. • China October 27, 2010: The Ministry of Housing & Urban/Rural Development suggested in an official web posting that zoos should adequately feed and house animals, should stop selling wild animal products and serving wild animal parts in restaurants, and should stop staging circus-like trained animal acts.  The authorities report that zoos could be shut down for non compliance.  This is the first step toward permanent laws to protect the animals. • Germany June 17, 2010: The zoo director and three of the staff at the Magdeburg Zoo were convicted of cruelty to animals for killing three tiger cubs who were the result of a cross breeding tigers at the zoo.  The zoo had bred a Siberian tiger to a Sumatran tiger.  All of the tigers in the U.S. that are referred to as Bengal tigers are actually hybrids of Bengal and Siberian tigers as the result of the white tiger craze when Bengal tigers were inbred to the point of non existence in America.  A fine of 8,000 euros was suspended upon the condition that the zoo not kill cubs as the result of their own improper breeding plans.  The Magdeburg zoo case drew attention to the common practice of zoos breeding and killing animals to keep youngsters on exhibit. • Russia November 29, 2010: Russia is now filing a bill for an exotic pet ban like other countries have passed.  Despite Prime Minister Vladimir Putin having a pet tiger named Mashenka, the country is working on passing a bill that would restrict the ownership of monkeys, tigers, and crocodiles, because of their danger to the public and diseases they can carry, according to the bill that was submitted on Nov. 29, 2010 Thanks to all of you who wrote letters, attended town hall meetings and met with your lawmakers, the world is a little kinder place. Many of the worst breeders, dealers and tiger-tamer-wanabees were finally shut down.  Most of these collectors were fined or shut down by USDA or the state, or both in some cases: You can read the USDA reports and news stories at http://www.911AnimalAbuse.com 134,704 letters were sent via our CatLaws.com site in 2010 which is triple the year before.  We now have 44,606 members registered to help us with email campaigns. Thanks to all of our supporters being more aware of exotic cat issues and doing something about it, the wild cats had a lot of wins in 2010.  Only bans on the possession of private ownership of wild animals are fully enforceable but any step forward in restricting ownership is helpful.  For more details go to BigCatBans.   Animal Abusers Shut Down and / or Fined:  Many of the worst breeders, dealers and tiger-tamer-wanabees were finally shut down.  The following is from 2008- 2010.  Most of these collectors were fined or shut down by USDA or the state, or both in some cases: • CA:  Hesperia Zoo AKA Cinema Safari Zoo owned by Stephanie Taunton was put on probation and fined $30,000 by USDA. • FL: Horseshoe Creek owned by Darryl Atkinson was shut down by USDA and FL. • FL:  Wild Things' land owned by Kathy Stearns went into foreclosure and bankruptcy. • FL:  Amazing Exotics was shut down.  It was notorious for allowing contact between large exotic cats and the public for a fee.  The head of their tiger-tamer-wanabee program was Ron Holiday (real name Ron Guay) who gained fame in the HBO movie Cat Dancers and the book by the same name.  His career in dancing with big cats ended when a white tiger he had raised from a cub killed his wife and his lover within a few days of each other in 1998. • FL:  In 2010 Jeff and Barbara Harrod of Vanishing Species lost both their USDA and FWC licenses. • FL:  In 2010 Thomas R. Cronin of the Shell Factory was sanctioned by USDA for improper handling of animals, poor sanitation and lack of vet care. • IN:  Great Cats of Indiana, formerly known as Cougar Valley Farms, Inc., owned by Robert B. Craig and Laura Proper had their license revoked by USDA. • IN:  Ervin's Jungle Wonders owned by Ervin Hall was shut down by USDA for a three year term. • KS: In 2010 Clint Perkins of Riverside Zoological Park lost his USDA license to exhibit tigers and was fined for violations. • MO:  Wesa-A-Geh-Ya owned by Sandra Smith was shut down after a visitor lost his leg to a tiger. • MS:  Cougar Haven closed its doors for good, sending the last 3 big cats to Big Cat Rescue. • NC:  Metrolino Wildlife Park owned by Steven Macaluso was shut down by USDA. • NE:  Zoo Nebraska was ordered to find appropriate homes for their big cats and bears. • OH:  Pearson's L & L Exotics owned by Lorenzo Pearson was shut down by USDA following six years of violations. • SC:  In 2010 Robert Childress dba Quality Equipment was fined by USDA for lack of care for tigers. • TX:  Zoo Dynamics, owned by Marcus Cook was fined $100,000.00 • TX:  In 2010 Jamie Palazzo of Great Cat Adventures had their USDA license suspended for 3 years. • TX:  Wild Animal Orphanage closed their doors in September 2010 after investigation the Attorney General for fraudulent fundraising practices.  363 animals, mostly big cats and primates, are being disbursed to other sanctuaries.  Three of the tigers are coming to Big Cat Rescue. • Australia:  Craig Bush, the “Lion Man” was ousted from the Zion Wildlife Gardens by his mom.   Fundraising and Marketing:  Two Legacy Society donations over $100,000 each helped make this the best financial year ever for the sanctuary.  The first was a bequest from the estate of Terry Nordblom for $110,000.  The second was a matching grant of $200,000 in memory of William and Lois Modglin of Glendale, California.   Final financial numbers will not be available until after our annual audit in the spring, but estimates will be posted here in late January after we reconcile the December statements. 2010 began using Posterous.com to post to 16 of our major social networking sites at once.  We currently operate 333 social networking sites. 2010 we began using Traffic Geyser which increased our web traffic 24%.   Big Cat Rescue was reported favorably in the news 111 times in 2010 which in a 20% increase over 2009.   Some of the national press included shows on Animal Planet, Discovery and the History Channel in addition to such publications as National Geographic and the New York Post and major media coverage in several other countries as well.   The Fur Ball netted over $80,000.00! Over 650 big cat supporters had a blast at the Fur Ball; dining, dancing, playing the Wheel of Fur-Tune casino table and bidding in the silent auction and live auctions. Spirited bidders in the live auction won exotic trips see lions in South Africa, and many other wild and exotic places. We had 26,154 visitors this year. Our BigCatRescue.org website visitors rose to 1,660,550 but the site was temporarily replaced for two months.  During those two months (Jul-Aug) we did not have any tracking service on the replacement site.  We plan to re launch the replacement site in January 2011.  Google awarded Big Cat Rescue a grant of $40,000 per month in free AdWords.

What makes this initiative unlike all of the past programs is two fold.  40+ major conservation groups, including Big Cat Rescue, have joined forces with one common goal:  Save the tiger in the wild.  There have been other joint efforts, but none this large and never before has an entity as powerful as the World Bank been a committed partner in saving wild places for wild animals.  Big Cat Rescue sponsored the ITC booth at CITES and sponsored the attendance of the ITC Moderator, Judy Mills at the Tiger Summit in St. Petersburg, Russia.   Leonardo DiCaprio attended as well and met with Prime Minister Putin.  DiCaprio donated 1 million dollars to WWF's fund for saving the tiger.   23 FL Panthers died in 2010 but 90 were born according to FWC.  Big Cat Rescue is stepping up our support of local initiatives to save the Florida Panther.   Helping Others:  America's injured veterans have found Big Cat Rescue a place of tranquility where they can surround themselves with beauty and grace;  a respite from all that they have endured protecting our country.  It started with one group and now they come to visit quite frequently.  It's on the house and we provide lunch when we can as well by asking donors to contribute.  They have done their part in keeping Americans free and we are doing our part to fight for that same freedom for the big cats.   Then and Now:  Our CFO, Howard Baskin, compiled a ten year snapshot of the sanctuary and its growth.  This is just a comparison between 1996 and 2010.
