People are allowed to make bad decisions, that's what being free is all
about. Hopefully they'll make more good decisions than bad. In this
case the authorities seem to have been a bit trigger happy and the owner
of the animals seems to have been more than a little irresponsible.

Well, there's also the viewpoint that it should be necessary to get
a permit (with real, hard-to-answer qualification questions) before
being allowed to house that many wild animals on your property.
I understand that this comes up fair and square against the doctrine
of removing excessive government regulation of private individuals.
