Most of us use social media every single day. My addiction is twitter and Instagram. I am constantly checking my phone to keep up with my friends and my favorite accounts. These days almost everybody has an Instagram, even businesses! They use social media as a way to promote themselves. My favorite Instagram account is an account called Black Jaguar White tiger. BJWT is a foundation that rescues big cats such as lions, tigers, and jaguars from awful circumstances and rehabilitates them.
This rescue wasn’t started that long ago but they already have over one million Instagram followers. Each day they post multiple different pictures and videos of all the animals they rescue. Eduardo Serio, runs the foundation and manages the social media accounts as well. His work is amazing and he cares for these creatures so incredibly much. The foundation has rescued over one hundred and eighty big cats. This foundation is run in Mexico and Eddie has worked with the Mexican government to create laws that prevents big cats from being used in circuses. So far Eddie’s hard work has paid off and he is saving precious lives each day.
Most of the animals he receives have been born and raised in captivity and therefore cannot be released back into the wild. Eddie cares for them as if they were his kids, and he treats them with the love and respect they deserve. The babies that come to the foundation are bottle raised inside Eddie’s house until they are big and strong enough to go to the second stage of the foundation.
Through the pictures he posts it’s amazing to see the bonds he forms with these animals. He names each one and knows all their different personalities. In his foundation, the packs that are formed are not determined by species and it’s amazing to see a lion and a tiger playing together. I am an animal lover so this account not only provides me great entertainment, but it is also amazing to see the work he does. Often times Eddie will post a picture of an animal when he first is able to rescue them and sometimes it’s incredibly sad to see the circumstances that some of these animals are in. Weeks later he will post a picture of the same animal and the changes are amazing. Eddie proves that with love and compassion, the whole world can change.
I thoroughly support this foundation and this Instagram account. Black Jaguar White tiger has restored my faith in humanity. Animals are just important to me as people are and they don’t deserve the harsh treatment that comes their way sometimes. This foundation is going to change the world someday I just know it.
