“Plaintiff claims that Defendant’s wild animal harmed him and that Defendant is responsible for that harm. People who own, keep, or control wild animals are responsible for the harm that these animals cause to others, no matter how carefully they
guard or restrain their animals. To establish his claim, Plaintiff must prove all of the following: 1. That Defendant owned, kept, or controlled a wild animal; 2. That Plaintiff was harmed; and 3. That Defendant’s wild animal was a substantial factor in causing Plaintiff’s harm.”
