Popular YouTuber Rajab Butt was arrested shortly after his wedding when authorities took notice of viral videos showing him displaying a lion cub during the celebrations. The videos, which quickly spread across social media, raised concerns as they violated laws related to public safety and wildlife protection.
Using or showcasing wild animals, such as lion cubs, in public events or gatherings is strictly prohibited under wildlife protection regulations. Authorities acted swiftly in response to the incident, as such practices not only endanger the animals but also pose serious risks to public safety.
The arrest highlights the government’s efforts to enforce wildlife protection laws and discourage the illegal use of exotic animals for entertainment or social media content. Experts have long emphasized the importance of treating wild animals with care and keeping them in their natural habitats or approved facilities rather than using them as props for personal events or social media attention.
This incident serves as a reminder of the responsibilities individuals, especially public figures like YouTubers, hold when creating content or hosting public events. It also underscores the need for stricter enforcement to prevent the exploitation of animals and ensure the safety of both wildlife and the general public.
