Although this kind of activity is illegal, this man is publicly displaying his "offer" and the profile description says that potential customers should contact him via Viber and WhatsApp.
What certainly attracts the most attention are photos of different types of owls, marked as being "discounted." However, this person does not list the prices of the animals.
On the other hand, he is also publishing photos of wild animals in an apartment, and one of the photos shows his daughter holding a lion cub.
"Normal daughters play with dolls and sleep with a teddy bear, only my crazy one does that with a lion," he wrote in a post.
On several occasions, other types of wild cats, such as a white tiger, are also seen in the videos. There are exotic birds, various types of animals with hooves, and monkeys.
One of the videos shows him driving around with an ostrich in the car.
In one of the posts, this person took a picture of an invitation to a circus, and thanked them for his "VIP" seat.
According to the Serbian Law on Animal Welfare, keeping and enabling reproduction of wild and exotic animals as pets can only be done with official approval, issued by a cabinet minister, based on the previously obtained consent of the minister in charge of the environment.
Doing this without such approval can cost the perpetrator 100,000 to 1,000,000 dinars (850-8,500 euros) in fines.
