I agree with the poster who said that education could be extremely helpful in all of this. Leopards are known to be the most untrustworthy of all big cats and absolutely the worst for someone with no exotic cat experience. If that woman had done some research beforehand, it would have been less likely to have happened. The same with hots. No-one should have one for their first snake, IMO. It takes time and experience to get to that level of snake keeping. Here's hoping the programs leave the door open that with education and training it is possible to safely keep exotics as companion animals and not just encourage that they all should be banned.
