Having a lion as a pet is a terrible idea

According to Better With Cats, keeping a lion as a pet is a terrible idea. This is because even though a lion may be tame, it is still a large and wild animal prone to kill its human owner unexpectedly. There have been instances where people were killed by their lion pets.

West Mathewson, a conservationist who owned the Lion Tree Top Lodge near Hoedspruit in Limpopo, was mauled and killed by his lion while he took them out for their usual walk.
