Outrage Online: Russian Wrestler Trains with a Lioness at Home

When Russian wrestler Salim Zhambeev (English: Salim Zhambeev) decided to bring a lioness cub into his home, it was a calculated and meticulous plan with one purpose: to enhance his performance and moves in real-time.

Zhambeev, a professional wrestler from the town of Nalchik in western Russia, dedicated a room in his home to the lioness cub and even removed her claws through a special surgery to fight her without getting hurt.

However, his actions have stirred up online outrage—and rightly so. Users claim that the lioness will no longer be able to return to the wild and survive. This is an 'unforgivable injustice' for some commentators on the video, which shows Zhambeev and his fellow professionals playing with the lioness in his home (which is also her home).
