People who habituate large predators to humans, then release them, are facilitating the death of innocents.

"the lionesses charged off after an Impala and must have run 2 to 2.5km where she encountered the 22-year-old outside the car."

Was the girl driving an Impala? /s

I worked with large carnivores for quite a few years. Eight years directly, as a keeper, and then as a researcher during and after the time I went to University to get my degrees. I long ago developed a hard and fast rule: Any time I hear any sort of so-called ‘animal professional’ describe themselves as a ‘whisperer’, or allow themselves to be described in that way, I immediately dismiss them as a crank. Ultimately, over the long term, I have NEVER been proven wrong on this.

The best animal people I’ve ever met and worked with are typically almost NEVER telegenic, let alone photogenic—they’re the people at the zoo that you never actually see, because they’re not ‘beautiful’ and/or personable enough to put out in the public.

They’re often gruff, uncouth, slovenly, and have personalities that are difficult to get along with, but they’re amazing with animals.

There’s a lot of people who keep exotic and dangerous “pets” . It should be totally outlawed. There’s been a lot of incidents that have happened over the years where people and kids were injured and killed by some animal that belonged in the wild.Oh by the way,pit bulls and their owners should be outlawed as well.
