A while back I watched a documentary about a group that tries to rescue big cats and exotic animals from people who get them as pets then can't handle them. They estimate that there are somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000 big cats being kept as pets in the US.

Clearly, there are a lot of people out there with more money than sense.
