Guy Pays $150 for Full Contact Experience with Leopard Is Mauled Instantly

I'm not sure how you could watch "Tiger King" and come out thinking GOOD things happen when you're around big cats and the lunatics who own them. 

There's a 50-year-old guy named Dwight Turner in Davie, Florida. And he recently went to a small private animal sanctuary owned by a guy named Michael Poggi to pay $150 for a, quote, "full contact experience" with a black leopard.

And as soon as Dwight got into the cage . . . the leopard MAULED the heck out of him.

He spent a week in the emergency room and needed multiple surgeries after the leopard did a number on his head and right ear.

Michael WAS licensed to have the leopard, but not to offer the contact experience . . . so now, he's been cited for maintaining captive wildlife in an unsafe condition.
