Michael Poggi (Owner) has a great personal relationship with the leopard, but that does not carry over to others.

I have heard that if cheetahs are raised by humans from birth (before they open their eyes), that they are the most likely of the big cats to be safe with humans - but that the others never really are. Even Michael Poggi might be in for a horrible surprise at any moment, if that leopard gets spooked, or in a foul mood.

Davie, Florida, is a blue collar community with libertarian manners. You don’t notice the odd plants growing under light in you neighbor’s shed, and he doesn’t notice the leopard in a cage in your backyard.

Just saw this on my feed on my phone. Except on my article the headline was

“Florida man who paid for ‘full contact experience’ mauled ...”

which seems like a way better headline. He shore nuff got the ‘full contact experience’ it seems.

Black Leopard doesn't stop just because you are able to squeak out "Wakanda Forever" when he's chewing on you like wimpy little Black Panther would.

Last year my little Viking Kitty died. Nooooooo!

But ... I got a new Viking Leopard. Her great great great great great great grand dad was an African Serval.

With great vanity and pride, I present Bhikkhu. In this picture she evidently sees a Biden surrogate coming up the driveway.

You have got to admire a cat who can play bass.

Well, I mean note the stripes. Her 5 time great grandfather was Chris Squire. Was an LSD fueled In Vitro experiment after a show, nothing really untoward.

Cats are such classy animals.

Dogs are forever stepping on their own...you know, stepping on the thing.

"You have got to admire a cat who can play bass."

One of those times that having 12 toes up front comes in handy.

You’re not going to stop a leopard without a gun. I once watched a video where a pit bull attacked one and it looked like a cat taking a mouse by the head and carrying it off. It was over in less than a second.

I'd say he got his money's worth of full contact. 😬
