What laws should exist governing the types of animals people should be allowed to own?

I'm all for personal freedoms, but I don't think people should be allowed to own big cats, venomous snakes, etc., outside of specially equipped facilities with trained and licensed handlers.
These animals regularly escape and endanger the population.
There's a thread on the OT about a man being bitten and killed by his pet Gila Monster.

We need commonsense Gila Monster control.

I think that unless you are operating a secure refuge, animals should be limited to common domestic pets as reasonably been exhibited in the US.

OK. Below are 3 that I found in two minutes. There are hundreds of other examples.
Pet Tiger stalks Houston Neighborhood
Large African cat escapes its owner and prowls a Detroit suburb
Fifty exotic animals were on the loose. Their owner was dead. Muskingum County deputies gunned down tigers, lions and bears in rainy fields about 55 miles east of Columbus, a senseless tragedy that stunned the world.

The 2011 threat level: Fearing the loose animals would attack humans, and with sunset approaching, law enforcement intervened.
Deputies killed 49: 18 Bengal tigers, 17 lions, six black bears, three cougars, two grizzly bears, two wolves and a baboon.
One monkey was never found. It's assumed a big cat ate it.

If you own a wild animal, you assume all liability.
Do what you want.
The end.

None.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
And if you stupid games result in other people winning stupid prizes you should be charges and imprisoned.

Is that the case now? I don't think it is. Perhaps civil liability, which isn't enough, imo.

Then what should the legal penalty be if your pet tiger kills your neighbor?
Murder?
Murder?

I don't have a problem with society handing down rules that reasonably minimize the public risk. If you want to own a leopard, great, but here are the acreage and containment requirements. Expanding that beyond animals, if you want to keep a 50 gallon drum of nitro, fine, but you're not storing it in your garage on the cul-de-sac.

No.

You mean like this... from 2020, how would you like to encounter it.
Also, Just recently, in Chelsea [down HWY-280, 20 mile out of Birmingham] a pet wolf-dog killed a 10 month old toddler.

That’s a different question than the one posed in the OP.
Laws already exist for involuntary manslaughter.

Murder?
That’s for a judge or jury to decide.

There's no amendment in the constitution around pet ownership, unless you take a very, very broad reading of the 14th amendment.
Laws regarding ownership of animals that could take others lives without proper enclosures and handling are very much on the table.
I'm very against government regulation, but keeping pets that are non-domesticated, dangerous or venomous animals hits the line where I'm good with restrictions.
Cant believe I've found a spot where I'm very comfortable with government intervention.
As for punishment if say, your pet cobra escapes and kills your neighbor. I think you could easily end up with a gross negligence, manslaughter charge; which could be a year or two of prison.
