On a different note, I know we previously were talking about the declawing mystery at Black Jaguar White Tiger. panthxra had pointed out that a black jaguar named Cielis(or Cielo) had very deflated looking paws, characteristic of a declaw. She was Eduardo’s first and is his favorite cat, meaning she arguably gets the most direct contact. I’ve gone through almost every video of this jaguar(yes I have been doing this for two hours and am thousands of posts deep on his instagram) and have not seen any sign of her claws as an adult. In the above video, you can see how she clutches the bowl around the edges, no claws. There’s this video of her playing with the same yellow jaguar(who has he claws). She doesnt flash her claws once, even towards the end of the video when her right paw clutches the top edge of the ramp.
In this video you can see how flat her paws are. Then this video where she grabs the top of his head but we don’t see so much as a tip of her claw. I would keep going but I have so many of the thumbnails displayed at this point that the videos aren’t loading anymore.
Now I know when this came up before someone has said that Cielis was rescued declawed already. Except…. Shewasn’t. And here’s another video of her where she appears to be a bit older (couple months?) but still has her claws….so when was she declawed?
So is Eduardo declawing his cats? First partaking in the pay to play schemes he condemns(like going and getting pictures taken with the father of the yellow jag in this video), now this?
Just another reason why I do not trust this place. I know he loves and is passionate about these cats and seems to take moderately good care of them, but all the direct contact, the breeding, the buying, and the interspecies interactions are not helping the cause. If he really wants to do his best for these cats he needs to change a lot of his practices.
And as a side note, the sheer number of comments about how people “want one too” and “want to cuddle them” that I came across in this search are significant enough. It shows why it’s a problem for these really popular big cat people(-cough-Richardson-cough-) to make the entirety of their public image be of them cuddling these cats.

Leopard,a Tiger, Lions and a Jaguar together. I’ll separate them when they’re sexually mature. In the meantime, enjoy these wonderful videos made with all the Love in the Universe. I just wished that my Karmita was here…

JESUS. Look at all these animals crammed in together. Look how much larger that tiger is than the black jaguar(?) underneath him. This kind of interspecies overcrowding is a disaster waiting to happen. And I don’t trust this guy to know when to actually separate these cats and avoid some disaster hybrid.
The first two pictures have been taken from Instagram user oncaleo’s account. Respectively, the captions say:
i’d love to know why eduardo of #blackjaguarwhitetigeris at #zoofari in mexico visiting ma-tzu’s father and having a good time when the zoo openly admits to allowing visitors to take photographs with the jaguars according to the website. is there a good explanation for this? because it looks really, really bad, and i’m already on the edge with this foundation.
the main page of #zoofari is a huge promotion to take a picture with fari the jaguar. is this a joke? #blackjaguarwhitetiger claims to be against cub petting and exploitation of big cats, so… why is he thanking his friend marcos for letting him see his place [zoofari], with marcos presumably owning it? i have the biggest migraine from this right now. what?
The third picture has been taken from Instagram user blackjaguarwhitetiger. As you can see in the first picture, user oncaleo has taken the picture posted to blackjaguarwhitetiger and put it with a picture from Zoofari’s website. The second picture is a collage of pictures taken at Zoofari.
Evidently, Zoofari in Mexico offers encounters with dangerous predators, such as jaguars, and even cubs. This scheme, known as a cub petting or pay-to-play scheme, is highly popular in unaccredited, irresponsible, exploitative zoos across the globe. Learn why petting big cats is cruelty:
So, clearly, participating in pay-to-play schemes is cruel and abusive, so why did Eduardo from Black Jaguar White Tiger Foundation visit Zoofari when he’s, supposedly, against zoos and his foundation is supposed to be rescuing big cats from these types of schemes? He has 1 MILLION followers, and he just showed all of them that this is ok. Read the comments; they are full of people saying they want a pet jaguar and they want to do just what Eduardo is doing. Add this to the list of reasons why Black Jaguar White Tiger Foundation will never receive any bit support from me.
