Running Bear dove in the water, Little White Dove did the same.Īs they swam up to each other through the swirling stream they came.Īs their hands touched and their lips met, the raging river pulled them down. Her little heart was beating faster waiting there for her brave. In the moonlight he could see her blowing kisses cross the waves. He couldn’t reach his Little White Dove waiting on the other side. He couldn’t swim the raging river, because the river was too wide. Running Bear loved Little White Dove with a love that couldn’t die. Running Bear loved Little White Dove with a love big as the sky. Little White Dove was her name, such a lovely sight to see.īut their tribes fought with each other, so their love could never be. On the other side of the river stood a lovely Indian maid. On the banks of the river, stood Running Bear, young Indian brave. Once we learned that this kind of breeding does NOT contribute to conservation in the wild we began neutering and spaying our cats in the mid 1990’s and we became the leading advocate for focusing on preserving cats in the wild and not breeding these intelligent, magnificent animals for an unnatural life in a cage But a few, like Running Bear, were born here in the early days when we mistakenly believed the breeders and dealers when they told us that these cats should be bred for “conservation.” Some were being sold at auction where taxidermists would buy them and club them to death in the parking lot. Most of our bobcats were rescued from fur farms where they were being raised to slaughter for their fur. He pretends to be tough, but can’t help but show his silly side when enrichment is involved. He was neutered and lived with Little White Dove until she died at the advanced age of 21. You can post your tribute to this brave little bobcat in the comments at the bottom of this page. He was 24 years old and the last of the cats to be born at the sanctuary before we learned better and stopped breeding in 1997. “Now they’ll always be together in that happy hunting ground,” as their song goes. – Running Bear is now with Little White Dove
