Despite concerns and complaints from the voting public and despite the clarity of PetPartners Contest Rules, it appears that PetPartners Pet Insurance proudly states, supports and "understands"  the Live Feeding, torture and killing of tame domestic rabbits, rats and other helpless animals at Big Cat Rescue Tampa and awards them the 2016 Animaltarian of the Year.

PetPartners Quote:
" Animaltarian" is about animal welfare and there are many different types of rescues that help a certain classification of animals.
Big Cat Rescue focuses on all cats, domestic and wild.
...We have been advised and researched that rabbits and rats are fed to some animals that are being rehabilitated to be released back into the wild. While none of us at PetPartners like the idea we understand why it has to be done and hope that everyone will take that into consideration".  End Quote

Live Feeding of one animal to another is not honored or practiced by ethical and professional rehabilitation centers.  PetPartners dismissed professional letter references written by Rehab, Veterinarian and Department of Biology experts.
