René Strickler owns a predator park in the canton of Solothurn and has been fighting with the landowner for years over a lease extension. A court ruled that the park, along with its animals, must be vacated. Mr. Strickler is sometimes ridiculed and portrayed as a troublemaker. This portrait is an attempt to understand the former animal tamer and his situation without judging.
