MAYFIELD - She doesn't look like a man eater. Owner-exhibitor Steve Salton, 61, seemed pretty confident as he interacted with Calcutta, a female Bengal tabby he obtained almost two years ago from the Asheville Zoo.

But Salton stresses these aren't pets.

"They'll kill when they're hungry and they'll kill if they're provoked," Salton said. "They're always locked up."

There's four-year-old Logan, the biggest of the cats.

Caesar, also a four year old, was obviously upset by the unfamiliar camera crew, but seemed more scared than aggressive.

Then there are leopards Viper and Shadow, who did their best to act like overgrown house cats.

Neighbor Rich Travis has no affection for the wild animals caged next door. He wants them gone and is doing his best to make that happen.

"No one wants to step up and so we keep pushing the issue and pushing the issue," said Travis.

The Fulton County Museum is set to hold a presentation on the Sanford Stud Farm on Thursday, Feb. 10 from 7 to 9 p.m.

L.F. "Sam" Hildebrandt Jr. will speak on the history of the once 1000 acre Sanford Stud Farm, also known as “Hurricanna.” The famous race horse farm was founded by the Amsterdam carpet manufacturer innovator Stephen Sanford.

The museum is located at 237 Kingsboro Ave in Gloversville.
