Russell & the Lynx

Russell & the lynx

There’s an elderly Canadian Lynx at the High Desert Museum in Bend (it’s a horrifying story; this poor lynx was someone’s pet, but was dumped in a national forest when it became inconvenient. That’s awful, but it’s not the worst of it. The worst is that the despicable excuses for human beings who owned this lynx removed the canines and front claws from the poor cat, so it couldn’t actually hunt (assuming it knew how) after being dumped in the national forest. Fortunately some forest rangers came across the poor thing before it starved to death, and it found a new, if somewhat small, home at the High Desert Museum.)

Russell saw the lynx,immediately fell in love with it, and had to almost be dragged away to see the rest of the museum.
