Ciro in profile

Ciro, a 30 lbs 3 year old Serval shares his cage with Kawaii, a 3 year old Caracal (see below). Because servals look like cheetahs but are a lot smaller, their furs have more value than their meat (which has more value than their being). Bad for Servals as a species, which are 'listed as threatened'. Perhaps a good long look at the Endangered Species Act with respect to how the act has been implemented and whether the results are desirable is in order. And also a glimpse at how and what we value.
