These gorgeous animals were not meant to be cooped up in a small house. They are meant to run wild and be free in the beauty of vast nature. They are too dangerous and can change their mood in a heartbeat. People do get killed by these animals and it's not their fault. They are just doing what comes natural to them. They are trying to protect themselves from conceived danger.
There isn't a whole lot that the very rich can spend money on that the average middle class person doesn't already have equivelent to. They can buy a luxury purse fkr $40,000, but a poor woman can buy a near knock off for $40. They can buy a large pool, but someone can just go get gym membership with a pool. A mansion is just a roof over their heads with more rooms. Gold is nust a shiny metal.
So they gotta up the ante in each category of thing. Hard to buy a leopard, lion or tiger. They are like average household cats when young. When they get too big they get rid of them oftentimes. They didn't consider the consequences. Columbia has a hippo problem because of this, Pablo Escobar kept some as pets. After he was killed, they got loose. Now they are everywhere.
After watching a short video of a wild cheetah in Africa jumping on a tourist vehicle with a sunroof and using the opening to squat and use the bathroom I’d think that big cats would be hard to housebreak. Seemed like that wild cat did it deliberately and there were people in that vehicle.
Wrong on every level - as well as a recipe for disaster.In my part of the world,it would be illegal - only zoos are authorised to handle wild animals of all types.

I guess some people need something to spend their money on but it isn’t best for the big cats.
I think it's so trashy when people have wild animals as pets. Reminds me of Florida swamp people who keep tigers and alligators to try to prove their coolness. 🤮
