Well, that's sort of a +1 for the guy. At least he didn't want the animals to be stuck in cages for who knows how long without food while waiting for his body to be found. Still....

I feel a whole lot worse for the animals than the guy. I'm sure they probably couldn't have been reintroduced back into the wild after living in captivity. They'd probably either have to go to some sort of preserve or zoo or be put down. I think the regs on having this sort of animal should be much tighter. Avg joe should not be able to "own" a mountain lion, leopard, etc....
