In addition to the points below. Cats and dogs where not always domesticated. They where wild. These Lynx are no longer wild. They are somewhere between domestic and wild.

RL, releasing an animal into the wild is not as simple as dropping them off. I've recently been looking at videos about training orphaned apes. It's a lot of work - first, vets have to deal with the health issues; caretakers have to bond with them; then comes jungle school, which is a long process - searching for food, climbing, avoiding venomous snakes, etc. Even then, some will only be able to live in a semi-wild state in a sanctuary. While most people should not own non-domesticated animals, I think I'll trust that Anastasia Poznyak knows what she's doing.

I supported not the fur farm, but the life of these cats. However, our wish to stop fur farms doesn't mean anything to those who make decisions. And we can count only on our own resources and actions. So I decided to save these lives instead of making any protests because I'm better at this) That's just my choice and my story)

Big cats that were bred in captivity for dozens generations cannot be reintroduced. I'm a biologist, and I know this perfectly well. At least, the health of these lynxes are far from perfect and they have no chance to survive in the wild nature.
