An almost complete heron carcass hangs from one of the outbuildings of the Exotic Feline Rescue Center in Center Point, Ind. The bird had flown into one of the wild cats' cages and was devoured with little damage done to the skeleton. Joe Taft, 71, opened and now houses upwards of 200 big cats in the Exotic Feline Rescue Center in Center Point, Ind. The number of wild cats in captivity in the U.S. now outnumbers those in the wild world as their natural habitats are disappearing and more humans look to privately own them.
