A couple from Indiana, looking to protect their pets from what they presumed was a large bobcat stalking the neighborhood, accidentally shot a leopard.
It's unclear where the animal came from. It appears to have been about 9 months old.
Indiana allows private people to own Big Cats with permit, and this country is run over with fools who breed all kinds of Big Cats who then sell kittens to other fools who happen to have $400 to $800 in their pockets.
Yes, that's right; you can buy a baby leopard for less than the price of a decent Border Terrier.
The animal thus acquired will be "fun" for about three months, and then will spend the rest of its life in isolation in a cage before it is sold on to a dealer who will, in most cases, pawn it off to a purveyor of canned hunts in Texas.

Wow!! I live in Indiana and had not heard or read about this. Very sad. The only news recently I have heard regarding big cats locally is about a volunteer who was attacked at the Exotic Feline Rescue Center in west central Indiana.
It shouldn't be legal. This kind of situation can never end well. There have been many deaths of owners of these large cats.
