A man was mauled to de@th and eaten by his pet lion just days after buying the beast to keep in his back garden.

A resident of Najaf, southern Iraq, was horrifically attacked by the predator before it consumed most of his body on Thursday, May 8.

"Today in a garden in the city of Kufa in Najaf, a citizen was attacked by a lion in his own garden and d!ed immediately," Mufid Tahir, spokesperson for the Najaf Police, told local news site Rudaw.

He added that the lion had to be k!lled because it had eaten a large portion of the man's body, and refused to leave the remains.

The victim, 50-year-old Aqil Fakhr al-Din, had reportedly been keeping lions and other wild animals in his garden for several years,

That's the pet expressing love to him. He saw dogs, he did not buy as pets. It is a lion that had been in his fantasy to keep as a pet.

Lions are not pets. They are known to be killers. They don't have loyalty when they are hungry. Very sad though.

Imagine using your money to buy something that ends up killing you, what did he want to even do with a per lion?

Well, let's agree that when you buy or adopt a wild animal you run this risk. They're wild animals for a reason, right? There's always a chance this could happen. Poor guy, may he rest in peace. It's horrible when this kind of thing happens.

The man was insane to have a lion at home. Hasn't he heard all that lions have been doing to their owners?

Some people just want to learn the hard way. So they do things like they are completely mad.

They did not hear when VDM told them they would learn the hard way. This one has finally learned the hard way in the grave.

That's inane petting a lion. A lion kills and eats human flesh. That man had a death wish. He better had pet a car or pup. It's his fate to die in a brutal way which he also witnessed by himself.

Yesh he felt he could tamed a lion. So he has learned a hard way. Rip to him anyways
