webfact Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Farang leopard owner "prowling" inside the house as reporters visit Thai caption: Leopard as a "guard cat" Reporters from 77kaoded went to the house in Na Jomtien in the Pattaya area where a Thai woman and her foreign husband are keeping a leopard. Yesterday the couple were slammed for keeping a dangerous pet. But a visit from the "Wild Hawk" animal authorities on Monday and police showed it was all legal. The couple have two leopards and one is being treated for sickness in Chiang Mai. They moved to the Pattaya area last week to a rented house. The fully grown leopard at the Pattaya house is a four year old called Typhoon who animal rights activist Edwin Wiek described as potentially dangerous. They have been ordered to complete documentation about the animals at a Sri Racha office and improve the fence security at the property. But they were allowed to keep the leopard. Yesterday the 77kaoded reporters were not let in by someone they described as looking after the house. No further details could be revealed, they were told. They said that there was a high fence all around the property and that the foreign man who is the wife of Nitaya Isarasin was "prowling about inside the house" as their reporters took pictures outside.

worgeordie Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 They say it's tame, but my cat bites my hands if i play with her, a Leopard's bite can crush a skull,it's like playing Russian roulette, So 3 have already died and they also have a sick one in Chiang Mai, think that says they don't know how to look after them and keep them in good health. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse my stupidity, but who decides it is legal to keep an apex predator as a pet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbastheycome Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Oh yes ! Such a bad thing for people to take care of a large well fed cat. Much better people have numerous dogs they do not feed or confine to their own properties and allow them to roam and fight and acquire rabies to become vicious and potentially kill anything in sight or at least pass on the infection before ultimate death. In fact take another look at that "domestic" cat that is being progressively aggressive after being mauled over by a pack of street dogs. That bat that lives in a building across or down the street that one evening swoops in and bites your face or neck is just an scarey painfull event at the moment? One well fed large cat is not about to escape the environment that meets its needs. Of any size they enjoy comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She/He is prowling about? Gender to be determined I guess... Shoddy writing and editing in this article... to be classified as <deleted> clic bait at best.

Basil B Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I recall a woman in the UK having a pet leopard that she took for walks on a lead in the 50's. Nobody batted an eyelid, but there are many animals that can be domesticated but any animal can turn... and some are more dangerous than others.
