In the last five years, we have been reading stories Pabout fights over parking that led to deaths. Recently, an incident occurred in Kuwait where a lion was used as a weapon. A Kuwaiti decided to end a quarrel with his neighbor over a parking lot in a very dangerous way by bringing the wild animal to have the final word. The neighbor had objected that his parking space was occupied by his neighbor’s guests in front of his house on a daily basis, and after a heated verbal argument, one of the men brought his lion to scare his neighbor! The neigh- bor was forced to hide in his car in fear of his life until some people managed to calm the owner of the lion and took him away. This incident may be seem funny to some, but it reflects the fact that there are people who may commit criminal acts over parking. Raising predators in homes is a strange phenomenon and no less dangerous than having weapons and ammuni- tion at home. Another incident occurred in 2013, when a It is necessary to stop those who keep predators as pets citizen found a lion roaming in the street after escaping KUWAIT: A beach in Fintas is seen at twilight.
