A guy in South London has won the right to keep a snow leopard in his backyard. Southwark Council initially banned Todd Dalton from housing the animals, but local magistrates overturned that ruling this week. Now Todd is looking forward to acquiring several wild cats, including an ocelot and a margay. Fearing the animals might escape, most of Todd's neighbours are unhappy with the decision. However, one local resident (pictured) is in favour.

In the past she had more exotic creatures. Y'see my Nana was in the circus when she was younger. She owned 2 black bears named Bruno and Ming. Her house was swarming with monkeys and rats. She had an alligator before it got too big for the bath. She once beat up my Grandpops, because he ripped up a cheque she had filled out to buy a panther.""When I was a teenager, Nana left the circus and started doing freelance cabaret with a snake. The snake was too-cool-for-school. He just lay there, staring at you, and when your back was turned he'd secretly gulp mice guts. The snake died about 10 years ago and Nana retired from cabaret. ""To keep her company in her old age she got a dozen Chihuahuas. Now they're all mange-infested and malicious and I hate them. Imagine my joy when the alpha-gremlin of the pack got RAVAGED by a Rottweiler a few weeks ago. The big dog mauled his ribcage side and ate part of his Chihuahua dinky."SLACKARSE SALLY
