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 pets, after a tiger attacked a visitor to his property.
He won as an Ontario Superior Court judge ruled the bylaw was flawed and too broad.
He was found dead in the tiger cage at the weekend, having been mauled to death by his 300 kg pet.
Almost counts for a Darwin Award.

An Invercargill woman flashing her breasts at motorists distracted one driver so much he ran her over.
Cherelle May Dudfield, 18, admitted disorderly behaviour when she appeared in Invercargill District Court yesterday, the Southland Times reported.
Dudfield was egged on by her friends to flash her breasts at passing motorists while in the middle of the road on September 27, but the fun went awry when one of the vehicles crashed into her. She rolled over the bonnet, cracking the windscreen but did not suffer any injuries.
Not quite eligible for a Darwin Award, but maybe an honourable mention.
Not that I am entirely against the right of women of flash. But I would suggest that they do it from the side of the road, not the middle!

This photo (from Northern Territory News) is a wonderful example of Darwin at work. You see that is a crocodile trap they are cavorting on. It was nice of them to provide bait for the trap, but sadly it seems even crocs have taste.

The South Auckland man was found by the truck driver, who heard him banging for help from inside the compactor only because he had stopped to open a gate at a commercial property in Takinini about 4.20am on Monday.
Industry employees spoken to by the Herald yesterday said it was lucky the man was found because drivers’ routes could involve many stops and they did not always get out of their vehicles before crushing the rubbish.
A rubbish skip seems a very bad place to sleep – for multiple reasons!
