Kevin Chambers Responds

The following was sent to AnaiRhoads.org by a concerned party. In this post, Kevin Chambers attempts to justify his actions by claiming the cubs are "running, wrestling, and exploring", but he neglects to say how the cubs were shipped from Indiana and how the cubs reacted to their trip to New York.

As you can see, not all of Jack Hanna's animals are from zoos and other accredited organisations. Some are from breeders like this:

Subject: Re: White lion cubs on David Letterman/GMA

Hello to everyone from the Big Apple,

Well, We all arrived safe and sound in New York. We've been put up in a VERY nice hotel in midtown Manhatten. We have a great suite and the lion cubs, Atlas and Denali, love it. I can't really blame them since it's been a very long road trip and they were so releived to have a huge room to turn their motors on in. They spent a couple of hours just running, wrestling, and exploring. They'll sleep well the rest of tonight, that's for sure!!

I see from the recent e-mails that I'm a big black eye for FCF. Oh well, everyone has their right to an opinion and I've been called a lot worse. If someone wants to call me an "exploiter", it's their right. I've always wondered....what is an exploiter? Doesn't everyone who owns any sort of animal fit that description? I'll readily admit that I make money off of some of my animals. It goes right back into caging and care for those very same animals. Everyone with a pet exploits their animal for their love, too. If either of those things are wrong, then I happily wear the badge of an exploiter, though I sometimes wonder if it isn't the animals that exploit me rather than the other way around. You just can't explain that to a person who's never cared for an animal.

There is only one thing I find disturbing about that website article. That being that this animal rights person was fed her information from someone on the FCF list. The facts about me listed in that article come directly from my bio in the FCF website. Any one has access to that. But, you see, the appearance on Good Morning America was never announced anywhere other than in my e-mail to the FCF list. It was not mentioned on either ABC's website nor on Jack Hanna's website. The truth of the matter is that we will NOT be appearing on Good Morning America. It's sad to think that one of our own is in bed with the animal rightists.

We ARE appearing on Letterman Wednesday night, but instead of Good Morning America, we will be on CNN at noon Wednesday.

The boys are certainly geared up to put on a great show and I hope you enjoy seeing them.

Kevin
