While keeping in view the video and the injured child, the Karachi police registered a case in the official complaint under section 200.

The dangerous hobby of the rich to keep wild animals at homes is posing a real threat to their fellow beings.

The video of the lion attacking the child went viral on Thursday. It could be seen in the video that a lion was standing outside a house and several onlookers were surrounding the animal. Then suddenly the lion got hold of a child standing in the crowd.

A man named Umar brought the wild cat out clearly in an attempt to impress the other people of his ‘valuable possession’.

One wonders how the rich people flout the safety rules and are given permission to keep mini zoos at homes while putting other people’s lives in danger. 

It is still not known whether Mr Umar, owner of the lion, did have the licence for the wild animal or not.
