I am unsure how well known the handler is overall, but he has enough of a record as does his organization for me to know who he is. Usually I just see people complaining on it like every YouTube video that it is "inhumane to the animals for them to be in cages" and that "they're not treating the animal right" or "they should be left in the wild" without so much as providing even cursory thought about the practicality of such statements in the age we find ourselves in and these particular animals. I have never had an issue with him - all of his cats seem to adore him and interact directly with him, which is impressive for all the reasons one can conjure.

As for having such an honor? That is one of several!
