Additionally, it is inappropriate to transport the lion, regardless of it being a cub or on a leash, in a convertible vehicle because the lion can still pose danger to people in the vicinity and requires controlled containment and transportation,

Nothing like showing off your status

strange story, the Sri Lankan man drives around Pattaya in the white open top Bentley and white open top jeep obviously seeking attention, that wasn't enough so got a lion, then suddenly leaves the country

Yes, when he realized he had created a fuss and the police wanted to talk with him.... probably wise and would save him a good amount of money!

So now that she has broken the law, I would suggest the lion cub be taken away from her and she be banned from owning such pets here in the future as we don't want to read 2 years down the track that she was up to it again, this time the lion got out of the car and mauled someone to death.

 

But no doubt money will exchange hands and the said posing of danger to the public will go away, until, perhaps one day ?

Correct, but now can he come back?

According to the BBC:

"Police were also reportedly looking to charge the Sri Lankan man, who had kept the lion in his rented pool villa, but were unable to as he is no longer in Thailand. He was due to be charged with bringing a controlled wild animal into public places, which carries jail time of up to six months and a fine of 50,000 baht. "

Meanwhile, Ms. Pupe stated that she works in real estate. She said her foreign friend bought the lion for her as a gift as they shared an interest in exotic animals.

His anaconda is greatly admired.
