I live on a major road in Broward County and can tell you many times during thunderstorms, celebrations with fireworks, sudden loud noise(such as a fire truck) there are loose dogs just running to get away. They climb fences, go through windows, etc. Many times over the last 34 years I have brought them into my yard, just so they won't be killed on this road. I can't IMAGINE dealing with dangerous wild animals. Around here, most people don't even like the ducks.! For the last few weeks, I have had a very tall (and loud) goose at my house every day. I don't know where it came from, but follows me everywhere

I would never keep one myself but the cat in that video is one awesome animal.

The power and agility these animals possess is really something that requires you to respect these animals every second.

Maybe in a couple years we can all read and comment about how a 120lb siberian lynx snapped the neck of some kid.

Are our local law enforcement and firefighters privy to the location of these nuts? And, if someone calls 911 from inside one of these houses, are first responders told that entry into the house could be deadly?

Unfortunately, all it takes is for one of these cats to go bezerk and kill one or two small children. These amateur "zoo keepers" will then be forced to return to reality. These animals don't belong in a person's house. They belong in the wild or in a zoo.

Pit bulls and Dobermans are already a serious threat to the public. How can anyone believe it is safe to keep these big carnivores outside of a zoo? They cannot be domesticated. Domestication takes many generations of selective breeding to alter their genetic background. Not only are these big cats a danger to the general public if they escape, they can turn on their masters at any time. The fool woman even said in the article that she can't "play" with her natural-born killer if he is in a cross mood. That mood can change in an instant, and maybe she won't recognise it. An unarmed human has no chance against such an animal if it attacks. I hope she keeps a loaded gun strapped to her hip. This is one of the most disturbing articles I have read in a long time.

Sure, we're all fascinated by these huge, beautiful creatures.

But they DO NOT BELONG in people's HOMES.

Only a self-indulgent moron would keep a big cat as a pet.

What an uneducated, classless moron you are. You should not be allowed to own animals as you have them for all the wrong reasons.

I don't mind people having tigers, lions or other big cats, but not in the home. They should live in their lairs with them.

Those folks are real losers. Their homes are full of cat and goat crapping and must stink to high hell. Not to mention that one day the cat will be **** off and rip somebody's arm off. Good riddance!

They call them wild for a reason.

Captive animals are not housepets.
This should be illegal 100%.

The animals needs cannot be met in this environment- it is a selfish person who forces a wild animal to live inside a home. No matter how hard you try you cannot duplicate their natural environment, and anyone who thinks they can is rationalizing their need to own an "exotic".
Good grief.

These are the same people that have those big snakes and then let them loose. Wait till one of those snakes or big cats kills some 3 year old child and lets see how "cool" those "pets" are.

Maybe it just wants to take a gander at your place? Try telling it a joke and if it quacks up, then keep it around.

These people are nuts. I have a playful domestic kitty and sometimes when we're playing he bites down on me -- he's just playing and doesn't mean harm, however, he's only 8 pounds. Imagine a 30 - 40 pound cat doing the same thing and they could puncture arteries or veins. And felines really have a different temperament versus canines.

It is, in my opinion, perfectly OK to have big cats and wolfs (hyenas do not seem to be that popular) if you have some 200 acres of land with no neighbors for 5 or more miles.

Otherwise, nobody should keep cats larger than the domestic ones - I am not sure about large dogs. Watching the TV 'judge' shows, pit bulls really like to eat their neighboring canines, rarely consuming them but killing them or hurting them badly.

Here in California mountains rather large dogs are running free, more or less, but the ones that come to my property are very friendly, thank god. Coyotes may not be so friendly but they seem to be very shy.

I understand that people love to have dangerous animals around - they are probably so bored with life that they need some excitement.

What I do NOT understand is they are allowed to do so by authorities in a urban or suburban setting.

Try reading, if you know now. These people are NOT keeping bigcats, like Lions and Tigers. These are 30-50 lb animals, smaller then a Pitbull dog.

Selfish. Florida needs to crack down on this type of crap. It's a risk for everyone and completely unnecessary. If she really loved Siberian Lynx, she'd be helping the wild ones.

People that keep big wild animals and even pit bulls (read predators here) are all nothing but people with very low personal esteem and complete lack of personality (read here trash people). The animals fill their need to portray an image and show what they can not do themselves. Florida authorities should test these people further to see if they have not only the conditions to keep wild amimals, but also to see if they are psycologically qualified to do so.

By the way DeShawna, did your Mamma get a license to have you?

You also need some major help by linking this to voting for Obama. Your screws are as loose but you do not see yet.

How sad for these big cats and exotic animals to be locked away in someone's home instead of where they belong, simply for the pure enjoyment of these humans. I agree with some other people on here...if you want to live with wild animals, go live in their environment!!! Don't drag them into yours. Do you really think a 100lb lynx is happy in a house? Very disappointing. How selfish of these people. Very, very selfish. And they will be the first ones to complain when these animals turn on them. You can put a leash on a wild cat, but that doesn't make him a pet. He is still wild. Good luck to these people's neighbors and to the animals if they get loose. It probably won't end well for all involved including the animal. This makes me very sad. These people should instead donate their time and money to helping wildlife, or set up the proper facilities to care for them if this is how they want to live. And I am sure these pets were purchased, not rescued...so that just promotes the breeding and selling of these animals. Again, just a sad story for these big cats!!

The animals would rather wander around all day in a forest or field rather than a home with tile floors..It seems they treat them good however a wild animal must be left in the WILD!

What a stupid article to put in the newspaper to frighten the people of South Florida. These animals should be removed immediately to a zoo....I would be a nervous wreck living in S.W. Ranches. Someone better remove these animals now before someone gets killed or eaten. Let the owner live at the zoo with them; be their zookeeper but stay the hell away from our homes. Would anyone like to have dinner at her home? I don't think so.....you might turn out to be dinner for them!

Dangerous animals belong in the wild not in stupid peoples houses. Are the cops warned that they are responding to a house with a dangerous animal?
