Youtuber Rajab Butt Sentenced to Community Service for Keeping Lion Cub

TikTok personality Rajab Butt has been sentenced for illegally possessing a lion cub after a complaint was filed by a wildlife officer in Lahore. Butt, who admitted to keeping the cub in violation of wildlife laws, was arrested last month during a raid by the Punjab Wildlife Department and police.

The case came to light after a video of Butt receiving a newborn lion cub as a wedding gift circulated online, sparking concerns over the illegal possession of wildlife. Authorities swiftly acted, leading to Butt’s arrest and subsequent legal proceedings.

In a ruling by a local Judicial Magistrate, Butt has been ordered to perform community service under the supervision of a probation officer for one year. As part of his punishment, he is required to produce monthly vlogs on animal rights, which must first be approved by the probation officer. These vlogs will aim to raise awareness about animal protection and welfare.

The court also directed the Punjab Wildlife Department to provide Butt with educational materials related to animal protection. Furthermore, Butt is required to attend any court hearings summoned by the probation officer, with non-compliance resulting in a report to the court.

In a statement, Butt expressed regret for his actions, acknowledging his mistake. “I was unaware that wild animals cannot be received as gifts,” he said. “I now understand that it is inappropriate to keep wild animals. I regret my actions and will use my social media platform to promote a positive message about animal rights.”
