Introducing Tanya Smith and Emily McCormack, from Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. They have rescued over 130 big cats and other animals from abandonment, abuse and neglect. The dedication they show every single day to caring for these animals is inspiring. Thanks, Tanya and Emily for being our first Kickass Ass-Kickers!
