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.

No kidding. Anything that can squish you like a grape has to be treated with great care. I once heard that captive elephants have a unique way of killing humans who they have finally had enough of...they squish them with their forehead.

[He was going about his planned activities in the dark when he looked up the open stairway and all he saw was two eyes looking at him. The spacing was likely as shown in your picture.

Don’t remember the details, but he did not finish whatever he came for.]


He’d have to have ice in his veins to do that. And be armored heat to toe with steel plate.
