Now that’s irony

Norman Buwalda won a two-year legal battle between Mr Buwalda with Southwold Township over the council's subsequent ban on keeping wild animals as , after a tiger attacked a visitor to his property.

He won as an Ontario Superior judge ruled the bylaw was flawed and too broad.

He was found dead in the tiger cage at the weekend, having been mauled to by his 300 kg pet.

Almost counts for a Darwin Award.
