An Instagram star who shares terrifying videos of himself playing with lions is being investigated for alleged animal cruelty after he was filmed punching one of his cubs. Defending Schneider, a spokesman said that as he was in close contact with wild animals he 'needs to communicate his boundaries'. In March, Schneider - who was not trained before building his private zoo - spoke of what life was like working with lions. However, even Schneider would stop short of interacting with really wild animals. 'I'm not training these animals, I'm just basically living with them.'
