While trying to take a selfie with the lion, he almost lost his life.

The incident in Lahore, Pakistan, highlighted the dangers of the exotic pet craze. A young man who wanted to take a selfie with a lion named Simba, which was kept in a house, experienced the shock of his life.

As the man attempted to take a photo with the lion in front of its cage, he was suddenly attacked by the animal. The lion bit the man's arms and legs with its powerful jaws while starting to tear at his body with its claws. The man, writhing on the ground in pain, pleaded, "Forgive me!" and "Stop, Simba, please!"

The man's friend initially tried to intervene alone but was unsuccessful. With the help of two more people, the lion finally released the man. The man, whose clothes were torn and who was injured on his arm, was immediately taken to the hospital.

This incident has sparked a discussion about the increasingly common practice of keeping wild animals as pets in Pakistan. Experts have warned that this dangerous trend could have serious consequences.

A similar incident recently occurred in Nigeria, where a lion killed its keeper in a zoo.
