They are horrid, WILD creatures, that belong in a proper, spacious environment, NOT treated like someones bleedin' child! 😀 It's possible this creature turned on his owner, who is now deceased; or is an escapee from a poaching operation; or, said owner turned the beast out because it no longer interested them. πŸ€¨πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
