If it weren't for the horrible mistreatment of these animals that live out their lives in tiny cages only to be "rented" by "photographers", this article would be downright hilarious. Sad to see such blatant lies being spread in a news article that's being read by an unknowing public. Pathetic.... Even if these were wild animals (turns out they dont have lions or snow leopards in montana) this guy would be breaking pretty much every single rule of ethical wildlife photography. This stuff makes me sick.

here are some more ridiculous quotes from another website that picked up on this story:
The big cats and wolves and bears were caught on film by a British photographer who risked his life to get up close to them.
Jonathan Griffiths held his camera just inches away from the wild beasts of Montana and even stood his ground when a lion swiped at his lens.
The 32-year-old overcame his nerves to endure bitter -40C temperatures, gaining the trust of each animal over days, enticing the ferocious creatures with lumps of chicken.
Its a big adrenaline rush, when youre so close you can see the drool dripping on to their jaws said the father of one from Egham, Surrey.
I did not know what to expect – and they are very wild animals.
By far the most nerve-racking animal was the black leopard, which made me fear for my life.
I thought it could attack at any moment. It was just mean and did not like humans
The currency trader was given a camera only two years ago a birthday present from his fiance to take photos of their newborn son.
But spending time at the zoo inspired him to take pictures of powerful predators in the wild and he caught a flight to the Rocky Mountains.
In a deep Montana winter, it was tough going climbing up the remote mountains at 5.30am with all my camera gear, every day, said Mr Griffiths.
He trekked off remote trails in search of snow leopards, wolves and bears, with a guide by his side to help him capture the intimate portraits.
‘My family think I’m a bit nuts and worry about the consequences if something went wrong.
‘But I just like getting as close as possible to get a different kind of shot,’ he added.
what a joke.

... I would laught if they weren't trying to sound serious.
Who the f reads this and actually thinks there are lions and snow leopards and such in America? I did laugh only because it was so stupid and you know it is a slow news day when some journalist makes that shit up.
What animals will America have next?
The hardest part would be keeping your cool.
an african lion.
in the american rockies.
mmmkay, yeah.
obviously a reporter was trying to make a boring story about a man taking photos of trained and/or captive (and probably abused) animals, and make it into a more interesting "hero" story about some idiot 'risking his life' to photo deadly beasts.
that article is HORRIBLY misleading.
This is just sick, and i dont get how a man could go as low as to pretend he was doing all this by himself, and being 'oh so scared' geeez... such bullshit.
Seriously though, what a terrible bit of journalism about a terrible practice. Isn't Daily Mail known for erring towards the tabloid side of things? Regardless, still irritating, because you know readers will eat it right up and not pause to question why a Siberian Tiger is roaming "free" in Montana.
Moreover, like you said, the article is applauding unethical wildlife photography tactics. Shameful. And the whole game farm aspect is depressing.
"Danger: A pack of grey wolves tear into their prey, alert to the fact there are people nearby"
