A Kurdish man was recently seen smashing a birthday cake into a captive lion’s face.

After the video went viral, the man has apologized on his social media accounts.

The video went viral on Twitter, it showed a number of men kneeling down next to the captive lion, and one was seen holding a birthday cake

It looked like the group of men were kneeling down next to the lion for a photograph.

After a few seconds, one of the men smashed the birthday cake into the face of the captive lion.

The lion then gets up and tries to go away from the men while trying to get the cake off its face.

Blend Brifkani, the owner of the captive lion, is also the head of the Kurdish American Cooperation Organisation, which is a local NGO.

Blend Brifkani is described as a rich singer who turned into an activist.

His Instagram account has a number of pictures of him and his pet lion.

He also has one video that shows the lion having its claws removed.

Blend also shared the video of the incident on his Instagram Account, he described his pet lion as his “very best friend”.

In the Instagram post, he wrote, ‘The footage shows pure emotions of overwhelmingness (sic) and excitement that I had while celebrating his birthday.’

He said, ‘When I found him in the wilderness, he was alone, small and weak without a mother. If he had gotten into the wrong hands, he wouldn’t have made it alive. I provided him a safe home, a good environment, veterinary care and everything needed to sustain the lion’s health until he grew.  My plan was never to keep him in captivity, but rather raise him until he was well enough and old enough to be let out into the wild again. ‘

He then admitted what he did was wrong, he said, ‘I admit, it was wrong for throwing a cake on the lions face (sic), I have let my emotions of excitement take over me and I apologize to those whom I have offended. I’m not an animal abuser, I’m constantly working on projects that show how important animals are to me, especially Leo and how much I care for his well-being. I assure you that Leo is safe and will soon return to the wild.’

According to some reports, the short clip was captured in Erbil, which is the capital city of Iraqi Kurdistan, by the Rich kids of Erbil.

The video of the incident has been removed from the accounts that it was posted in.
