Wild animals are meant to be in the wild. That's also the reason why circuses that use animals for entertainment have been plummeting in attendance and almost to the point of non existence. Hence the popularity of acts like Cirque du Soleil. You can't put a price on a lost human life but it'll be interesting to see the legal outcome for this family.
