Apparently Riyadh has wild animals kept in the most restrictive of cages?

At the end of the documentary Zed they estimated that all the tigers they shot would have been 1% of the total population living world wide in the wild

Crazy world out there with natures worthy creatures being tormented and slaughtered at the hands of unscrupulous two legged monsters.

Did they feed the "hoarder" (aka inbred-redneck) to the beasts?

This sort of story enrages me as I'm an animal lover, chuck him into a tiger cage for a bit of 'what goes around comes around' justice.

You'd have to watch it but to Summarize.

The guy was an arenalin Junkie into power boating and fast cars, he started keeping big cats in a state with no regulation.

He got obsessed with keeing big cats and while he had it under control the animals were controlled and well looked after.

He let it get out of control and eneded up with 50 large wild animals mostly Lions Tigers and Bears.

They couldn't prosecute him for the wild animals so they prosecuted him for a fire arms offence and he ended up in jail for 10 months.

his Mrs tried to cope with the animals but drove herself to the edge trying to keep on top of it

He got out of jail but his Mrs couldn't take any more and left him that was the tipping point

He let all of the animals loose by cutting the enclosures up he then shot himself in the head after taking his shirt and pants off so the animals would eat him after he was dead

With no means of securing the animals the authorities had no option other than to kill them on sight

Some of the Cops that had to shoot the Tigers were crying when they were giving their accounts of the whole incident

The pictures of all those magnificent cats dead was harrowing
