Pet leopard escaped for a week and ‘killed sheep in the Cornish countryside’

It is so wrong that people are allowed to keep these animals as pets, especially in urban areas.

A snow leopard such a beautiful animal.
I am surprised a member of the public could get hold of one of these they are so rare I assumed they were a protected species. .

I admit I am surprised too, but I suppose money and contacts talk.

The supermarkets are littered with dead animals for us to eat. So a Leopard takes a sheep or two, what's the difference? At least it probably ate it, which is more than dogs do, that are allowed off the leash and go and worry sheep for fun....

Re: Pet leopard escaped for a week and ‘killed sheep in the Cornish countryside’

So he won a battle to keep pet leopard (s) in his London home 12 yrs ago ?

He's now in Cornwall, it escaped, and was only caught by the farmer who had laid a fox trap !

There would appear to be a few things of questionable information.

I wonder how many leopards he has bred since and sold for Ł10,000 's or even supplied circuses. ? It's a huge business in the Middle East, I hope it doesn't take off here in UK>

Re: Pet leopard escaped for a week and ‘killed sheep in the Cornish countryside’

Ha ha ! Rare Species Conservation Trust ..closed the last place (by the same name ) down in Sandwich Kent 2015.
Got his address Cornwall.
Also been a director of about 12 other companies including Secretions Ltd !
All companies bar one now dissolved. How do they do it ? Just go on and on making more and more money and then push off again to the next one.

Also had directorship of ...The Dream Organisation.... Secretion Ltd.... Edible Ltd...... Todd Ltd.
The mind boggles .
