Shibl al -Assad, who gave a YouTube star to his wedding, leads to an investigation into the police and public anger

A Pakistani star, YouTube, who was a talented cub, avoided a lion on his wedding day after he promised a judge to download videos of animal rights for a year.

Rajab Butt has one of the biggest online follow -up in the country of South Asia, and his marriage has been dressed for a week in late December due to the celebrity Gossip sites.

When a sleeping lion cub was presented, a young Simba from the 2019 movie “Lion King”, in a golden chain cage in front of thousands of guests who participated late at night in the huge east of Lahore, the pictures are spreading at a speed.

Comment by comment a The event video “It rains gifts,” raising nearly 10 million views. Faisal Mushtaq, an inspector from the wildlife department in Punjab County, said that the authorities learned about the animal through social media.

The cub gave him Omar Doula, who runs another YouTube channel called Lion Hub, BBC mentioned. Dolla claimed in the court that the legal owner of the animal is still, but the judge has stated that he was seized by Butt, according to the local media.

The day after the wedding, the police raided his house, confiscated the cub and kept recently seized overnight. They said that they found that the lion cub was wandering around the garage. Mushtaq described the animal as “in bad condition, because it was very cold.”

“Community Service” on social media

Last week, Bot admitted that he was guilty of owning an uncomfortable wild animal, but the judge gave up a potential fine and imprisoned for two years for a more specially sentence.

Each month for one year, he must post a five -minute video for animal rights.

The influence on social media agreed to the conditions, after recognizing the court statement that it “represents a bad example” by accepting the gift and continuing to “glorify it”.

In the statement, Bot said he regretted accepting the cub and admitted that “preserving wild animals in such conditions is inappropriate,” the British Broadcasting Corporation stated.

“He will provide community service through my social media platforms and publish a positive message about the rights of wild animals,” Bot said, according to BBC.

Butt is one of the most profitable YouTube stars in the country, according to the platform, and it usually publishes videos about his family’s daily life, from arguments to new car purchases. It was 5.65 million subscribers, according to him YouTube page.

Tanvir Gangua, veteran wildlife official in Punjab, said the cub is likely to be purchased for between 700,000 and 800,000 Pakistani rupees ($ 2,2900).

“It is very wrong, morally and strongly, to take away such a small cub from his mother,” which was most likely to feed him.

Youtubers “Use these animals to get clicks”

A week after YouTube was arrested, a adult lion escaped from his cage, which passed through the narrow streets in the Lahore neighborhood while the residents were climbing on the roofs of the homes.

Ultimately, the full adult male was shot dead by a security guard, which prompted hot anger on social media about the dangers of maintaining a large cat in a residential area.

Large cats are imported and raised throughout Pakistan, which are seen as wealth and strength symbols of the elite.

Last year, the Islamic League in Pakistan, which governs the government, prevented their supporters from bringing lions-the party symbol-into political gatherings.

The strict new regulations prohibiting private ownership of large cats in residential areas are currently making their way through the province’s government in Punjab.

Breeders will have to purchase a license and have at least 10 acres of land on a location approved by wildlife officials.

The talented lion cub, which has not been named, is now enjoying the winter sun in an open pen in the sprawling safari park in Lahore on the edge of the city, under the eye of the processor.

Janjua, the vice manager of the zoo, has also conducted hundreds of raids against owners, breeders and fishermen over the past 33 years to confiscate wild animals, including lions whose teeth and claws have often been removed.

“Look at those who use these animals who use these animals to get clicks. What kind of message do they spread by being harsh on these animals?” He said, detained for those who ignore them in their cars and in political gatherings.

“Your pet can never be. For two or three months, nothing will say but after that, it will turn aggressive.”

When he is close to retirement, Gangua says the attitudes towards animals have worsened throughout his career. However, the laws have improved.

“Now wildlife officials have devoted the uniform and weapons and we will get our own courts,” he told AFP.

“The already existing courts about the cruelty of animals.”
