Both fans and supporters of animal protection organizations surely voiced their concern and dismay at DJ Khaled’s decision to have a lion in his home. Celebrities may like exotic pets, but owning such a wild and dangerous animal creates serious ethical and security issues.

When keeping a lion in a residential setting, both the animal’s welfare and the safety of the surrounding residents are at risk. Lions are apex predators with strong instincts and erratic, unpredictable behavior that makes them unsuited for domestication.

The lion’s personal wellbeing must also be considered. To live a healthy life, lions and other wild animals require particular care, a proper environment, and enrichment—all of which cannot be provided in a conventional home. Due to domestication and captivity, these creatures may have st/r.e.s.s, behavioral abnormalities, and physical health problems.

In addition to ethical concerns, owning exotic pets has legal repercussions. Many nations have laws in place to protect people and animals from the risks involved in keeping dangerous species in residential areas.
