For some reason people owning exotics is discounted.
Since the 70's I can think of several folks around here having big cats, even a big cat rescue was around for a while. They never escape so they say.
My uncle had one in the 1998 couple of years it was a solid 150lb cat named Sylvester....i was a teenager n would play with it sum but it could always sense fear and would play rougher till my uncle would smack it...luckily the game wardens took it away...he was one crazy guy but been in nursing home for last several years he only 64 I miss him
There was one in a cage on the side of Hwy. 69 in Taylorville (Tuscaloosa) back in the 90's.
