A Kuwaiti man who trains animals used a knife to kill a lion to avenge the death of his friend, who was mauled by the lion. 

The trainer had left the lion at a rest house and gone to a nearby grocery in the Northeastern town of Hafr Al Batin, leaving the lion tied there.

“When he returned, he found that the lion had broken loose and attacked his friend, who died on the way to hospital,” ‘Ajel’ daily said.

“He went mad when he learned his friend died. He got a knife and killed his lion to avenge his friend’s death.”
