Lions

Lions aren’t called kings of the jungle for nothing. They belong in the wild and should be in the wild; otherwise, they can be secluded in protected areas away from poachers. Unfortunately, many of the rich have chosen to keep them as pets, since owning them can be a status symbol. But these owners are clearly unaware of the dangers of keeping a lion in a closed area. Lions don’t hesitate to attack when threatened or provoked and require a professional should they need to be handled with.
