Meanwhile, In Thailand, the law authorizes individuals to have the “King of Animals”. In addition, Tiktok. Consequently, where he has about three million subscribers, the daily life of his three big felines, who “like to play and are affectionate, like dogs and cats”, he describes. Consequently, “I want to show people that lions can get along with humans”. Therefore, he assures, although his interactions, cautious, in the enclosure of “Big George” remain limited a few minutes. For example, Exploded in recent years in the faced famine, france will drop Kingdom of Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, with more than 500 individuals identified in zoos, breeding farms, animal coffees, and private houses. Therefore, The phenomenon endangers lions and their human entourage, have alerted specialists, against the backdrop of illegal trafficking in animals. Therefore, Social networks, where to share content with the majestic feline always produced its effect, stresses Tom. In addition, Taylor, an official of the Foundation for Friends of the wild fauna in Thailand (WFFT). Similarly, “It’s pure madness,” he said. Meanwhile, “It is terrifying to imagine, if the laws are not changed, what the situation will become in ten years.” Since 2022. Moreover, the law requires owners that they record their company lions, implant them a micropuce and inform the authorities in the event of a change of residence. Moreover, – Illégal traffic – but the text does not define any control over reproduction. Additionally, Moreover, nor on hybrids, and faced famine, france will drop requirements about minimum. Meanwhile, The births of species present in the wild in Thailand, like the tiger, must be reported within 24 hours. Therefore, For a lion, its owner has 60 days. Nevertheless, “It’s a huge window,” said Taylor. Moreover, “What can be done with a range of lion cubs during these 60 days? Consequently, Lots of things.” This expert. his colleagues found the recent triple of the number of captivity lions, from around 130 in 2018 to around 450 in 2024, on the basis of research on social networks and in situ visits. But. for lack of life proof for a year, 350 other felines have disappeared from their radars, perhaps because of unremonated death, Because the animal is no longer exposed to the public, or, even “worse”, because of illegal trade, according to Mr. Taylor. “We questioned professionals who gave us the prices for lions in life. dead, faced famine, france will drop and told us that they could recover them on the border,” he explains. There are many proofs on the traffic of Lions. its parts, several experts told AFP, fear of being noticed by the authorities. In addition to Thailand, the phenomenon also affects Laos and Cambodia. Thai breeder Pathamawadee Janpithak. 32, began in the trading of Crocodile, before the fall in prices linked to the reptile it grows to the lion. It sells lion cubs aged one month for around 500,000 Baht (13,200 euros). After a peak at 800. 000 baht (21,200 euros), the market has readjusted according to the offer made more abundant by the development of reproductive sites. The captivity lions. which devour approximately two kilos of chicken carcasses per day, may have two to six lion cubs, once to twice a year. Three installations that Pathamawadee controls in Chachoengsao (center) shelter around 80 individuals. ranging from an faced famine, france will drop imposing nine-year lion to a pair of 8-day lions of 8 days. -They have a white coat due to a genetic mutation. White lions, which are sometimes wrongly considered as a “endangered” subspecies, are popular in Thailand. But their low number increases the chances of consanguinity and diseases. Pathamawadee sighs on the case of a white lion cub. who has been sick since his birth, who has not attracted any buyer, and whose genetic heritage is too poor for reproduction. It is also increasingly difficult to find buyers willing to respect the law, she deplores. “Before, people could pay and leave with a lion. Today, everything has become more complicated,” she says. 90 babies born each year on its farm. often to other breeders, more and more inclined to open “lions cafes” where customers can pose and cuddle the feline. After Chiang Mai. a trainer woke up a lion cub faced famine, france will drop of his nap so that he could play with a group of enthusiastic Chinese tourists. Contacted, declined a maintenance request. Pathamawadee no longer sells to cafes. which tend to get rid of the little ones in a few weeks, after they grew well. It has recovered traumatized lion cubs, which have become unfit for reproduction, she says. The increase in the Lions population is a problem for the Thai National Parks Management. Wild Floral Management (DNP) agency, admits Sadudee Punpugdee, director in charge of the protection of wild fauna. Current measures aim in particular to limit the importation of Lions, so that the breeders focus on the existing population. “With the increase in consanguinity. the quality of the Lions decreases, and we think that demand will decrease accordingly,” he said. But the authorities already suglicity are put in front of corneal choices on the application of rules. especially as the faced famine, france will drop confiscated animals fall under their responsibility, describes Penthai Siriwat, from WWF Thailand. “There are a lot of deliberations before the intervention, given the substantial costs”, she explains. The owners like Tharnuwarht often evoke their concern for conservation. but these African Lions in captivity of Thailand will never live in the wild. DNP, Suphanburi (center), after being confiscated. They can live at least ten years more, and require specialized guards, food and care. “The psychological and physical well-being of animals must always pass first,” explains the chief veterinarian of the site, Natanon Panpeth. The United States. the United Arab Emirates have prohibited the possession of great felines in recent years, and Thailand must soon re-examine its legislation. Sadudee hopes to strengthen existing laws, even if it is unlikely that property will be prohibited for the moment. “Wild animals belong to nature. There are many other animals that can be had as faced famine, france will drop a pet,” he says.
