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.

He even got internal contact.
“I said ‘cougar,’ not ‘leopard’!”
Stupid games, stupid prizes.
Full contact includes claws. It says so right there in the context
I hope he didn’t vote for Biden.
I always thought you only ask for the ‘full contact experience’ at a brothel.
Rubbing any feline’s belly is The World’s Stupidest Move if the cat doesn’t know you. It’s an instinctive vulnerable spot and you’ll get one helluva response if you’re not practically already married to the animal.
Be careful what you ask for, cause you just might get it.
Poggi, the Cat owner, should have had his guest sign paperwork taking full responsibility for doing something dangerous and stupid.
Well, darn.
I would have been suspicious of that price - not even enough to cover rabies shots, much less surgery.
True! It’s called a Hold Harmless Agreement
That was exactly my first thought.
Definitely got the full contact experience.
What a shock.
I have a tri-colored Tabby cat. My vet took one look at her and said, “Very smart and very fierce.” I’be been bitten 129832 times in her short three years of life. Worst cat in the universe and I love her to pieces.
Does the leopard get to keep the $150?
Sounds like Hunter at a strip club, except he is too stupid just to pay $150 for someone to eviscerate him with vids of having his ass torn up... he payed over $10G for that honor.
Darwin approves.
