Lion Cub Dat YouTube star for its wedding leads to a police investigation and public anger

Pakistan’s YouTube star, who hoped for the lion’s brothers on her wedding day, avoided a prison after promising the judge to transfer videos on animal rights for a year.

Rajab Butt has one of the biggest internet monitoring in South Asia, and his weekly Naturas at the end of December were estimated at the web pages of celebrity gossip.

When he had a play in a cage in a cage in front of thousands of guests in front of thousands of guests who, in the late night, like thousands of Lahor, resembled a young Simba reminiscent of the young Simbu from “Lion King” on the net.

Butt outlined a Video of events “Rain is gifts,” collecting almost 10 million views. Faisal Mushtaq, an inspector from the Provincial Division of wild animals in Punjab, said that the animal authorities found out through social media.

The bride was given to him by Umar Dolla, who runs another YouTube channel called Lion Hub, reported the BBC. Dolla claimed in court that he was still a legal owner of the animal, but the judge ruled that Butt had seized him, local media reported.

The morning after the wedding, the police executed an execution of the rush, seized the cubs and held the brides in custody overnight. They said they found a lion cub to wander around the garage. Mushtaq described the animal as “in poor condition because it was very cold.”

“Community Service” on social media

Last week, Butt declared himself guilty of possessing an unfinished wildlife, but the judge renounced a possible penalty and prison sentence for up to two years for a customized sentence.

Every month, during one year, he must post a five -minute video dedicated to animal rights, said the order of judge Hamida Ul Rahman Nasir.

The social media influencer agreed to the conditions after admitting in a court statement that he “gave a bad example” accepting the gift and continuing “to celebrate it”.

In a statement, Butt said he regretted accepting the cub and admitted that “the holding of wildlife in such circumstances was inappropriate,” the BBC reported.

Butt said he would “provide a community service through my social media platforms and expand a positive message about wildlife rights,” BBC states.

Butt is one of the highest paid YouTube stars in the country, according to the platform, and usually publishes videos about his family’s daily life, from arguments to buying new cars. Was 5.65 million subscribers, according to his YouTube pages.

Tanvir Janjua, a veteran wildlife official in Punjab, said the cubs were probably purchased between 700,000 and 800,000 Pakistani Rupees ($ 2,500 to $ 2,900).

“He is so wrong, morally and legally, taken so little cub from his mother,” which probably still fed him, he told AFP.

YouTubers “use these animals for clicks”

A week after YouTuber was arrested, the adult lion fled from the cage, running the narrow streets of Lahora’s neighborhood as residents climbed roofs.

The adult man with a lot of adults eventually shot the security guard, which encouraged great anger on social media about the dangers of maintaining a large cat in the residential area.

Large cats are imported and grown by Pakistan, and are visible as symbols of wealth and power of the elite that possesses them.

Last year, the Pakistan Muslim league-Nawaz, which rules the Government, banned the supporters to bring the Lavove-Simbol of the Party of Party of Political Meeting.

Strict new regulations prohibiting private ownership of large cats in residential areas are currently undergoing a provincial government of Punjab.

Breeders would have to buy a license and have at least 10 acres of land in a place approved by wildlife officials.

The gifted Lion Cub, who has not been appointed, now enjoys the winter sun in an open pen in Lahore’s enlightened safari zoo on the edge of the city, under the watchful eye of the executive.

Janjua, also Deputy Director of the Zoo, spent hundreds of raids against owners, breeders and preachers in the past 33 years to seize wild animals, including lions that are often removed teeth and claws.

“Look at these YouTubers who use these animals to get clicks. What are the message wider by being cruel to these animals?” He said, the fallen those who parade them in their cars and at political gatherings.

“I can never be your pet. Two or three months will not say anything, but after that, it will become aggressive.”

As the retirement is approaching, Janjua says that animals attitudes have worsened during his career. The laws, however, improved, he says.

“Now wildlife officials have dedicated uniforms, weapons and we will get our own judgments,” he told AFP.

“The courts that already exist are now strict about the cruelty of animals.”
