Twitter users reacted in rage and spared no time in roasting Afridi on the social platform. “You didn’t understand he is asking people to generously feed animals during Ramzan so they can slaughter them later n enjoy a big feast late,” tweeted a Twitter user.

While another user wrote, “Where is this? Come how there are wild animals in unnatural environment? Isn't it legal?”

Many users found this against animal freedom and rights and they wrote.

Chaining up a lion is not showing love to animals. Please release him to the Wild. Lions are born to roam freely in the jungle & not be held captive for your amusement. #animalrights — Mia Utopian (@mia__utopian) June 9, 2018
