DAVIE, Fla. (WPLG) – A man says he had to undergo multiple surgeries after he was mauled by a black leopard.

It happened after he paid $150 to have “a full-contact experience” with the wild animal.

Detectives with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) say the savage attack happened in an enclosure at a South Florida home owned by Michael Poggi.

The man has a Facebook page saying he’s an exotic animal breeder. He is licensed to have the leopard.

Investigators say Dwight Turner paid Poggi to play with the big cat, rub its belly and take pictures.

The FWC report says the leopard attacked once the man walked inside the enclosure.

That only works out somewhat safely if the cat is defanged and declawed.

I love animals. I respect them, each and every one. Never once do I think that respect is a two-way street, I never assume I’m not lower on the food chain, and I’m definitely NOT paying anybody to go give huggles to a wild animal. As rules for living goes, I’m a scalp and an ear above this moron.
