It's so annoying and disgusting that we have people who are owning wild animals this is so ridiculous how can we allow such things to happen this a pure animal cruelty this must stop
The best security. Humans should not also have to live in captivity with thugs roaming around … leave the woman be - I’m sure she knows what she’s doing.
Another major legal issue is that the owners will not be held liable legally if the animals attack anyone, because these are wild animals, they are not domesticated pets.
Crazy how y'all are so concerned about things that are very far from y'all, how will such make South Africa a better place there are very huge issues that need such attention which aren't attended, so let people do as they please as long as the cats have indestructible enclosures, enough space to run around( which i never saw on this clip) and are fed regularly then it doesn't really concern any of us, people are quick to take initiative and complain about things that don't need being solved yet there are bigger issues which are turned a blind eye to🤦🏾♂️
Nobody will take my big cats away from me I'm very very sorry. What a cheeck. As long as the animals are tamed, loved, on my property and cared for properly, it's nobody's business. What about people with pythons as pets in gauteng???? Leave big cats and their owners alone. They are loving and gorgeous animals. Nothing more than having over sized cats. If you can't understand this its your problem.
@@jerneansaunders6636 Very limited view. It would not be a problem, if it was on a farm, however, this is next to a creche, that fence will not hinder these powerful athletic animals. My fear is that the tiger will pay the price for this owner shelfishness. People already poison dogs. I.e. They dont like the fact that neighbours keep a certain breed and they poison the poor dog. A friend lost his dog like this. If you see no problem, cool, enroll your child in that creche. I foresee parents, getting frustrated and taking the matter into their own hands with these tigers paying the price for the owner shelfishness.
Even the ones in the zoo's don't belong there
Actually they do, otherwise they won't exist!
PURE SELFISHNESS TO KEEP ANY ANIMAL IN UNNATURAL HABITAT
You can keep any animal you like! God gave you animals to love and keep!
No matter how you raise them they are WILD animals get them out of these peoples hands 🙌 absolutely one big mess
No they are not wild animals! They can be raised as pets! Go and read your Bible!
Thats amazing that it is somewhat legal. You can't have a goat for milk or enough chickens for eggs, but you can have a tiger?
There are at least 3 houses I have seen in benoni and Boksburg that have a tiger or tigers housed …
Would the legislation include keeping snakes as pets?
It's so annoying and disgusting that we have people who are owning wild animals this is so ridiculous how can we allow such things to happen this a pure animal cruelty this must stop
Sounds like four paws has enough space and resources to give everyones tigers forever homes. And guaranteed no animal cruelty!
One day they'll be eaten by them
Not in a residential area? People are food to these cats...seriously???
What about the people next door?
The best security. Humans should not also have to live in captivity with thugs roaming around … leave the woman be - I’m sure she knows what she’s doing.
Thank you. EXACTLY.
These are wild animals that should b free , not pets
End lockdown!
Then release all dogs, reptiles, fish and cats that are pets.
And those wild evil criminals from prisons that inflict way more harm on society than pet tigers.

@Moyahabo Thoka Do the owners call them "kity kity"?
There are laws regarding this

People will do anything to be in the public eye. Shame on them.

Well said.
I'm at a loss for words. How the 'H' can this be allowed? The law is the 'Lowest Form of Morality'. Wish I had the Power - - - - -
cruel
No it is not cruel! Do you know how many white tigers are out there in the wild? Zero!
What wrong with keeping a tiger?
U must be sick
@@williamshakur8715 Do you know how sick these anti-tiger people are? You have no idea of the evil people we have in this world!
Nothing wrong with owning tigers. They gorgeous. Why is this even in the news.

U can't change wildlife mentality to live with human u put our children life in danger
Those tigers are better cared for than most people's dogs

Stop being jealous please
If more people can own tigers, then we can get the tiger population back up!
YES. It is pure jealousy. They don't understand love that can occur between animals and humans.
