I think that these people have the right to have those animals, especially if they are well taken care of. A dog can attack the same way. We’ve all heard the horror stories of bulldogs or german shepards tearing apart someone’s face or arms.

Those kids went in the house knowing that there were wild animals in there. The boy should have asked his neighbor to show them the animals when he was home. That girl is lucky to be alive. I’m sure she’s real impressed with him now.

I say that those people have a pretty damn good security system. If a criminal breaks into the home, won’t they be surprised?

That’s why I don’t have a gorilla.

Same goes for cougars. What an imbecile. Euthanized? Hardly a fair treatment for the animal since he, to paraphrase Chris Rock, didn’t go crazy, he went cougar. The guy who decided that having big cats in the house is a good idea? I’d buy the stupid argument and possibly the crazy argument for him. Yes, they are beautiful, graceful and powerful predators. NO, they are not good PETS. Liability aside, too bad stupidity isn’t a criminal charge. And no one is attempting to euthanize the owner. How about this for fair . . . if the cougar gets euthanized, then the owner should get a vasectomy. It’s not parity, but it would slow/stop the spread of the arrogance and stupidity that created the danger the first place.
