@Gorilla George just heard this story on the radio at work and had to google it to make sure it wasn't you. https://www.local10.com/news/local/2020/10/28/man-mauled-by-leopard-behind-davie-home/ He wanted the full contact experience and paid $150 to get in the cage.
And tomorrow someone will be lining up to do the same damn thing. I'm rooting for the big cats Oh and why isn't this in the Florida thread
You know it wasn’t me. Because if it was me, the leopard would be my friend. The only news story would be that the trainers had to hold the leopard so I could get out of the cage because he wanted to go with me.
I think he should sue the emergency room. A whole damn week and he can't get admitted to a hospital bed?
I paid to play with 2 tiger cubs years ago. They were no bigger than a fully grown French bulldog.No Regerts!!
I was reading books by great white hunters a few years ago. Apparently the leopard is the baddest mofo in the big cat kingdom. Sure, lions and tigers are badass, but the leopard is wicked smart and is more than happy to go from being the hunted to the hunter. One guy told a story about wounding a leopard that he then had to track into the jungle. As he was peering at the tracks a drop of blood landed on his shoe. He looked up and saw the leopard five feet above his head, dead in a tree. The leopard had gone into the jungle, reversed course, climbed the tree and waited to pounce. I want nothing to do with animals that smart.
