Lion on the run in Kuwait
I just heard there is a lion loose in Kuwait. It seems it escaped from a Sheikhs residence in the Fintas area and now the cops are trying to catch it.

Why would a Sheikh or anyone keep a lion at his residence??
9. Shady | May 22nd, 2007 at 1:33 pm

10. Shady | May 22nd, 2007 at 1:36 pm

I’ve always fantasized a lion on a loose causing panic all over the area, don’t know why though :p
I hope they catch him soon.

many people in kuwait have wild animals as a pet, there is one rich kuwait near my old house in salwa that had 2 tigers in his house, they were damn noisy… so we had to move.
21. Mark | May 22nd, 2007 at 2:55 pm
i knew a guy who had a cheetah in the garden. when i saw it it was still young and wasn’t caged or anything just ran freely in the garden. i dont know what he did with it after..
22. Bader | May 22nd, 2007 at 2:57 pm
DAYMN!! Am so sure that the lion will be shot at once, just like the poor husky dog 2 years ago in jabreya when the police thought that it’s a wolf :P
23. istiminkiliz | May 22nd, 2007 at 3:10 pm
Wish my boss was in Fintas right now!:)
24. Dana | May 22nd, 2007 at 3:22 pm
Yeah.. I heard that man has a whole zoo in his palace. He has MANY wild animals. A lion in his zoo is like having a cat at your home. The guy’s insane! He has crocodile, alligators, tigers, cheetah.. You name it! I hope they find him though.
The same thing happened last year in Dubai when the ruler’s son’s tiger ran away from the palace and seriously injured 2 people…
25. Qaiss | May 22nd, 2007 at 3:28 pm
the questions is, who gave him the authority to keep a lion in the first place? there must be some kind of law agianst such pets or must be monitored by Kuwait Zoo and maybe the baladiyah!
26. Shady | May 22nd, 2007 at 3:29 pm
loool @ istiminkiliz
27. afterstorm | May 22nd, 2007 at 3:32 pm
come on Qaiss his the sheikh, he have his own promision. The guy that has tigers no one never spoke to him of all the noise he had around and who will to sheikh.
28. Adam | May 22nd, 2007 at 3:38 pm
thats sooo awesome, i hope they dont catch it… this is 2 fun
29. limited_edition | May 22nd, 2007 at 3:38 pm
There is no law that stops you from keeping wild animals in Kuwait..whether ur a sheikh or not, the thing is actually getting them into the country, once their in your home free.
My friend in Abu Dhabi has cheetahs as pets, I want a cheetah. They’re cool, damn I can just imagine myself walking a cheetah on the sciencific center’s walkway! =P

Imagine it enters the avenues just imagine a lion having a walk and then faints because he saw too many starbucks cafes lol
42. wii | May 22nd, 2007 at 6:56 pm

43. RED | May 22nd, 2007 at 6:57 pm

44. K u w a i t o o n s . c o m | May 22nd, 2007 at 7:03 pm
lol cops probably are scared shitless from Mr. Lion they will just hide in the car and call on the army.
mmm… what happens if the lion got hungry ? would he digg for something in the trash can or he would have a quick bite off of the “drivers” leg ?
45. limited_edition | May 22nd, 2007 at 7:15 pm
Adam that tiger in the Pic is in Dubai…it’s Sheikh 7amdan’s tiger..Shiekh Mohammed’s son.
46. K u w a i t o o n s . c o m | May 22nd, 2007 at 7:29 pm
after all its just a cat :p j/k
47. Shady | May 22nd, 2007 at 9:43 pm
did they catch him yet??? are u sure or is it a rumour ???? i don’t think there is a law cuz in Egypt ppl have wild animals as pets and when they go out of control and big enough they donate them to the zoo
48. Armani Exchange | May 22nd, 2007 at 10:53 pm
K u w a i t o o n s . c o m - actually you must see it in the opposite way

52. Carlsb3rg | May 23rd, 2007 at 7:36 am
nothing in the newspapers. seems like a load of BS.
53. Rejoys | May 23rd, 2007 at 9:35 am
This is Kuwait.
First the cops will ask the sheikh to find the lion and call them.
Then the cops will come and arrest the Lion
After sometime waiting in the police station.
Lion’s some relative will come and show a certificate that the lion is “Majnoon”
Then the police will start shouting at the sheikh who complained and let the Lion go with his relatives.
And the Lion reigns forever, Amen.
54. Mark | May 23rd, 2007 at 9:37 am
so none of the papers mentioned the lion escape? cuz i was hoping to get more info and maybe pictures…
55. wii | May 23rd, 2007 at 1:03 pm
