A viral video featuring Pakistani digital creator Mian Saqib has sparked widespread backlash after he was seen prying open the jaws of a massive lion with his bare hands. The video, posted on Instagram, shows Saqib casually walking alongside the lion before opening its mouth without showing any sign of fear or concern. This dangerous act has led to shock and outrage, with many viewers condemning the creator's behavior.

The video, which has amassed nearly 60,000 views, prompted a flood of negative reactions from social media users, many accusing Saqib of mistreating wild animals for attention. Critics voiced their disapproval, calling the stunt irresponsible and dangerous.

Not the First Incident

This isn’t the first time Saqib has been at the center of controversy. Months ago, he faced similar criticism after posting a video in which a lioness affectionately embraced him. Despite the outrage, Saqib appeared unfazed, continuing to share content involving wild animals.

Previous Controversy

The recent controversy also brings attention to a broader issue of wild animals being featured in questionable social media content. In another viral clip from Pakistan , digital creator Nouman Hassan was seen riding a chained tiger, further igniting online criticism for the exploitation of these majestic creatures.

Animal welfare advocates have expressed concern over the growing trend of using wild animals in social media stunts, urging stricter regulations to protect these animals from harm and exploitation.
