A story on the news the other day mentioned that the US now has the largest population of tigers and second largest population of african lions in captivity in the world,most are kept as private pets in populated areas,in flimsy cages without proper care,they have no fear of humans and attacks by these animals are increasing every year.My question is , Is there a possibility of enough of these animals getting into the wild to have a breeding population and what would the effects be? Imagine a few dozen tigers running around in cattle country or a pride of lions running around in your local national forest..
