Big cat owners hide their animals amid Pakistani crackdown

The article reports on a crackdown by Pakistani authorities on private ownership of big cats in the Punjab province. This comes after a pet lion escaped and attacked a woman and two children. The Punjab Rangers have launched raids to confiscate these animals from private owners who are now trying to hide their big cats to avoid detection. The article highlights the growing concern over the safety risks posed by private individuals keeping dangerous wild animals as pets. It also raises questions about the legality and regulation of this practice in Pakistan. The crackdown is an attempt by the authorities to address this issue and ensure public safety, though the article suggests that some owners are finding ways to conceal their big cats to avoid having them seized.
