Idiots.

I am one of those who'd like to have a large cat (preferably a siberian tiger, or a black panther) as a "pet". However, I have worked with these animals, and understand that it's not, under any circumstance, be a house pet. Given the laws and situations required to keep such a "pet", if you have and don't know what you are getting into, you deserve to become lunch.
I doubt (more due to circumstances than anything else) that I will ever have a tiger or panther for a "pet". But I'd sure like one, all the same.
