There is a really good movie called The Elephant in the Living Room that is about people who keep exotic animals as pets. One of the guys in the movie runs a company that rescues these animals from people and captures them if they are let loose. He was saying that in nearly all cases with big cats there is no good ending. Either the cat ends up dead or badly injured or the owner does or in many cases both.
At one point they did a hidden camera where they went to a big exotic pet sale. One guy bought his little kid a pet alligator and thought it would be cool to tame it. He was trying to explain they can't tame it and in a few years it will be 8 feet long and be eating their kids and dogs, but they didn't care. They had all kinds of crazy, venomous snakes and reptiles of all kinds. It was wild and tragic.
