Man mauled to death and eaten by his pet lion he kept in a garden

  • Aqil Fakhr al-Din, a 50-year-old man, was mauled to death by his pet lion in his garden in Kufa, Iraq, on May 8, 2025.
  • Al-Din had long housed lions and various exotic animals on his property and had recently acquired a lion with the goal of domesticating it.
  • The lion pounced on al-Din as he approached its cage, biting his neck and chest and consuming a large portion of his body.
  • A neighbor responded to the attack by firing multiple shots from a Kalashnikov rifle, ultimately killing the lion after it continued to stay near the victim's remains.
  • The incident sparked outrage over Iraq's lax exotic animal regulations and highlighted risks from illegal wildlife trafficking and weak law enforcement.
