There has been a discussion recently on pit bulls and dogo argentinos.
Might as well own a tiger. In fact there there seems to be a group of people who just have to keep some type of dangerous animal a lion, tiger, gator, pit bull or like this dogo.
There are actually more tigers kept as pets in Texas than are in the wild(https://www.worldwildlife.org/stories/more-tigers-in-american-backyards-than-in-the-wild) Tigers no less, how did that work out for Siegfried & Roy? They use to take their tigers for walk and cuddled with them for pictures.
Always someone who believes that they are exceptional I call it the (Timothy) Treadwell Syndrome.
