It's a crime to hold him in private.

No, it is not if it is registered.

I think it is much more interested for Thai tax investigators from country Revenue & Customs or Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division, to take a closer look at money flow of the Lion owner where his possessions originate from

Why? There are many much more expensive luxuries in Thailand, is there any suggestion that the lion cub's owner is money laundering, for example, or are you just advocating that everyone with possessions worth more than that car are investigated by the Revenue Dept?

Yes, it is. Registered or not, because it's not species appropriate. WWF will tell you. Or UNCAHP or PETA. Strange that you don't know that.😵‍💫

No, it is not illegal in Thailand if the animal is registered.   WWF, UNAHP or PETA (good grief) will not tell you the rules in Thailand.  Strange that you do not know that.

If you can't read and understand I can't help you.

I do not you to "help me"!  Read the links accompanying this thread in which it is confirmed that lions can be privately owned in Thailand with authorisation and registration.

You don't know that was a typo?  Did you know that multiple question marks is ridiculous, not conventional nor recognised?  Strange. 

UNCAHP does not specifically state anywhere that the keeping of lions privately is illegal in Thailand.  Neither does WWF or PETA (not that PETA has any authority on anything).   Strange that you don't know that.

Huh? None of those organizations have any ability to control the laws of sovereign nation. And international law can only, just barely, prosecute the worst of the worst genocidal maniacs. It relies on the laws of sovereign nations to prosecute animal traffickers. If a nation has a law that says you can, there is zero any of the above organizations can dodo other than harass individuals.

I agree. And I did not stress the ability to interfere in Thai laws.🙏

Bentleys are posh Volkswagens. Rollers are posh BMWs.

Still a tough decision..... VWs have a benign reputation, BMWs are twxts cars, always parked where they shouldn't be!

I remember seeing one for sale in a Thai exotic pets group for a million baht years and years ago. You can buy caracals from a breeder in Bangkok too. If you wanted a lion I don't think it would be difficult to sort out. Not ideal though having a lion in the condo.

As the joke goes, when it gets older, it will sleep  where it wants to!

The little cub probably slept at his feet in the plane ride over.    Emotional support animal, doncha know.

 

Was the previous owner named Mrs. Slocombe?

Thank you for confirming that I'm not the one posting "stupid replies". 

 

That article  that you linked (you need to read the forum rules, specifically No. 16) refers to the registration of such animals and confirms that there are several registered.  Registering the animal and obtaining authority to keep them makes it legal.
