A man in Florida was mauled after paying $150 for a "full-contact experience" with a black leopard.

Dwight Turner, 50, has undergone two surgeries since being attacked by the animal on Aug. 31, his wife, Natushka Turner, said in a sworn written statement to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).

Dwight Turner and the leopard's owner, Michael Poggi, 54, arranged for him to "play with it, rub its belly and take pictures" on Poggi's property in Davie, FWC said in a captive wildfire report.

I can go to certain areas of town and get mauled by black panthers and I don’t need to pay a penny for the experience.

The view from inside the leopard would be kind of dark I would imagine.

When a fella pays for “full contact” with a lady of easy virtue he probably doesn’t expect...

I rubbed a cougar’s belly once. It felt so squishy and I could actually feel stretch marks so I ignored her and asked the bartender for another drink.

Good to see somebody getting value for money in this day and age of widespread consumer fraud.

Fuller contact would have been ingestion of one of them by the other, but that would cost extra.

Right, this is Florida Man after all. He’ll gladly file this under “getting your money’s worth.”

His insurance rider with the circus troupe will pay the for the two surgeries.

And his new eyepatch and scimitar shaped laceration scar are sure to impress Florida Woman.

It’s all upside for him.
