Tiger at Carole Baskin’s Florida Big Cat Rescue ‘nearly tore off’ volunteer’s arm

 

A tiger named Kimba at Florida’s Big Cat Rescue ‘nearly tore off’ the arm of a long-time volunteer Thursday morning, sanctuary founder Carole Baskin said.

 

Baskin identified the injured volunteer as Candy Couser. She has volunteered with the sanctuary for five years and has worked with lions, tigers and the sanctuary’s other large cats for nearly three years.

 

The adult Bengal tiger bit Couser’s arm and “nearly tore it off at the shoulder,” Baskin said. He was one of three abused circus tigers that were taken to Big Cat Rescue last year after being rescued from Guatemala as part of an animal-rights group’s “Operation Liberty.”

 

Paramedics arrived to the sanctuary, 12802 Easy St., around 8:30 a.m., said Eric Seidel, spokesman for Hillsborough County Fire Rescue. Paramedics treated Couser and then took her to St. Joseph’s Hospital.

 

Seidel described the injury as “serious.”

 

Big Cat Rescue says that Couser was still conscious and said she didn’t want Kimba to be harmed because of this mistake.

 

Baskin is a longtime animal activist who found fame on Netflix’s popular docuseries “Tiger King” and was recently a contestant on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars.”

U.S. Supreme Court sides with challenge to California's COVID-19 religious service curbs

 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday delivered a blow to California Governor Gavin Newsom's pandemic-related ban on indoor religious services, siding with a church that defied the policy and challenged it as unconstitutional religious discrimination.

 

The decision followed a similar action by the justices on Nov. 25 that backed Christian and Jewish houses of worship that challenged New York state restrictions in coronavirus hot spots.

 

The justices, with no noted dissents, set aside a lower court ruling that rejected a challenge to Newsom's policy by Harvest Rock Church Inc, which has several campuses in the state, and Harvest International Ministries Inc, an association of churches. Both are based in Pasadena, a city in Los Angeles County.

 

The justices directed the lower court to reconsider the case in light of their ruling in the New York case.

 

California's pandemic-related restrictions have evolved throughout the year. Newsom, a Democrat, initially ordered houses of worship to be closed completely in March as part of a broad stay-at-home directive. Some restrictions were lifted in the spring, but new curbs were introduced in July after a surge in cases, which was when Harvest Rock Church first sued.

 

The state's current plan imposed county-specific limits based on the number of COVID-19 cases. Under the policy, houses of worship in the worst-hit areas could not hold indoor gatherings but could do so outdoors. In other counties, houses of worship could have indoor events with capacity restrictions.

 

The state imposed similar restrictions on what it called comparable businesses and activities such as museums, movie theaters and restaurants that also draw crowds of people.

 

In the New York case, the justices said the New York restrictions "single out houses of worship for especially harsh treatment" in part by allowing various businesses to operate indoors without the same occupancy restrictions.
