Man mauled to death and eaten by his pet lion he kept in a garden

  • A 50-year-old man named Aqil Fakhr al-Din was mauled to death by his pet lion at his home garden in Kufa, Iraq, last Thursday.
  • Al-Din had housed various wild creatures for several years and had recently acquired a lion just days before the fatal incident in an effort to domesticate it.
  • The lion attacked Al-Din as he approached its cage, biting his neck and chest and consuming a large portion of his body.
  • A neighbor responded to the screams by firing his Kalashnikov rifle at the lion multiple times, ultimately killing the animal and ending the attack.
  • The incident raised concerns about Iraq’s weak regulations on exotic pets amid widespread illegal wildlife trafficking despite ratifying a protection treaty in 2014.
