'Outrage ensues': Farm proprietor in hot water following 'Joke' involving pet lion attacking laborer, VIDEO AVAILABLE
In a shocking incident that has sparked outrage on social media, a farm owner in Libya named Ibrahim Al-Masri has been arrested for allegedly releasing his pet lion on an Egyptian worker. The incident, which was captured on video and quickly went viral, shows the lion grappling with the man and repeatedly trying to bite him.
The worker in the video appears calm throughout the fight and tries to free himself before running away. The man has also been charged with several crimes due to the incident, including endangering human life, terrorising peaceful citizens, causing psychological and social harm, and conduct contrary to religious and civil law.
The farm owner claimed the act was a "prank", but Libya's public prosecutor called it a blatant abuse of power and a serious threat to public safety. One social media user wrote, "The height of recklessness with human life! This is a completely unacceptable act that must be strongly condemned and the perpetrator must be held accountable immediately. Human dignity and rights cannot be compromised. Such acts must stop immediately!" Another user simply said, "This is unacceptable."
The video of the incident has been heavily criticized on social media, with many expressing their disbelief and disgust at the farm owner's actions. The man involved in the incident has also been arrested, and the incident has sparked a larger conversation about animal welfare and the treatment of workers in Libya.
It's important to note that the lion involved in the incident is a wild animal and should not be used as a tool for entertainment or as a means to harm others. The incident serves as a reminder that all creatures, including animals, deserve respect and protection.
As the investigation into the incident continues, it's hoped that justice will be served and that such reckless behaviour will never happen again. The arrest of Ibrahim Al-Masri and the man involved in the incident is a step in the right direction towards ensuring the safety and well-being of all citizens in Libya.
