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>
The UAE passed a law last year against the keeping of large wild animals as pets let us hope it is enforced .

I do hope the leopard isn't destroyed because of this incident. I hope it and it's mate are found a new home in a safari park or something. Life can't be much fun for them in that enclosure. It's ridiculous that people are allowed licences for such creatures, it's cruel and degrading..

I hope so too but it's an understandable incident .
The leopard was only acting according to his nature .
I agree it would be better it if could go to a hopefully better situation .

I would hope (most likely in vain) that the person who keeps these beautiful animals in unsuitable conditions, has them removed to somewhere more suitable and banned permanently from keeping wild animals again.

Astonishes me anyone gets permission to keep these beautiful creatures, unless it's a breeding sanctuary to return them to the wild I can't think of one good reason for them being kept.
