RE - but don't think it's much more dangerous than alot of dogs that Thais keep as so-called "pets * We can agree on that both spices bites, but only one takes it further to what we know as eating - and that difference is what you think is not dangerous - well, you will just find it out once ...

He meows a greeting, and loves it when I pick him up and scratch him under his chin. One day I watched him stalk and kill a rat. He had turned into a focused killer. If this behavior exists in house cats, then it must exist in leopards. Begging the question - what could trigger it? Anything could trigger it,it’s instinctive. Although not the biggest of the cats, leopards are regarded as the most dangerous with the best pound for pound strength value . They are lightning quick and it would be like having a fight with a chainsaw. A 30 kilogram leopard would make short work of a human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is truly incredible, free this poor animal and send the two individuals to an asylum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2long Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I totally agree with those who criticize the farang and his TGF, and yes most people who 'own' rare species as pets do it for all the wrong reasons. BUT.... if this animal was bred in captivity it can't be released into the wild, and the state of most zoos in Thailand are no home for such a gorgeous creature. I'm all for limited regulated acceptance... but if nature takes its course one day on the future, do NOT blame the cat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benmart Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Domesticated dogs maime and kill more people than this species I believe, yet the masses tolerate the packs of dogs that run wild hereabouts. While I don't prefer or condone having an exotic animals as a pet, the emotion expressed here may be somewhat misdirected. A sensational photo and/or story is bound to bring a rabid, verbal froth from certain quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IslandLover Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 "She showed documentation to show that the couple had legally bought 3 leopards who had all died. They had two offspring, Thaiphoon and a female called Fah Sai who was sick and in Chiang Mai." I think this tells you all you need to know about this whole affair . You CANNOT keep a leopard as a pet! They need specialist care when in captivity. Besides, they are dangerous and unpredictable (just ask the residents of Mumbai). I speak as a lifelong lover of all cats, big and little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who was eaten was on Kodiak Island living with Kodiak bears, an extra large variety of brown bear. The polar bears were supposed to be wiped out by global warming when a count found that there were only five thousand of them left some years ago, but the latest estimate is that there are now 25,000 polar bears left...

I wonder if that same activist is also shocked and baffled that a rich Thai leopard eater convicted by a Thai court beginning of the year is not serving his prison sentence but mingling with the highest government officials at one of his construction projects instead... Probably not. Well said... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Out of curiosity - where does one buy three leopards LEGALLY in Thailand? I mean, I can get quite a range of goods at 7/11 .... but a leopard! In addition, even with all the additions to a rented house - I wonder where the leopard is doing his or her daily runs; up and down the Soi chasing the doggies?

Stargeezr Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Yes, I expect to see another story where Mario is headed for jail after one of his pets snaps and chews on someone in the house, yard, or neighbourhood.
