Residents of a housing estate in Pattaya have been seeking help, after their foreign neighbour purchased two lions as pets, one of which gets loose and wanders around the neighbourhood.

 

They have alerted the police to the presence of two big cats in Khaomakok Soi 3 in Banglamung district, but no action has been taken so far. The residents say that they believe this is because the owner of the lions is a foreigner.

 

The matter attracted widespread attention after a Facebook page, “Pattayawatchdog”, posted an image of a man taking a walk with a large lion on a leash.

 

A neighbour said that, during the New Year break, one of the lions snuck out of the house and roamed around the area, and not for the first time.

 

The Facebook page reported that the neighbours want the National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation Department to handle the issue, because they fear that their families and pets are at risk.

 

Reporters visited the house today and found two lions staying with two Rottweilers on the premises.

Seriously doubt that man could do much if the lion decided to leap at something or someone. Would probably be towed along. Or break his arm.

Some serious muscle on this animal, and it's not even an adult.

Now that's just plain wrong..

Joke:

A crowd running down the street
Man ask's what are you all running for?

Man say's: there's a lion escaped from it's cage.
Which way is it going asks the man?

Well we ain't chasing it he replied.

hopefully the lions will eat the two Rottweilers and then the owner for desert.

I was just thinking 'at last, a solution to the soi dogs problem' but you sort of beat me to it!

Some animals are not ' pets ' .

Even lions can develop a close relationship to their owners , they still can act following their instincts ... when they feel provoked  for example ...

They should be kept ' species appropriate ' at least in a reserve where they have enough space to live .

I hope that no animal torture ( taking out the claws or teeth ) was involved .

Dogs are domesticated , an entirely different story .

 

Perhaps they should join together and form a club?

 

Oh wait, 

Pattaya already has one.

 

 

Nevermind  !

What new pussycat 

Ooh 'err misses

Only the Rottweilers are far too much. A breed that should not be allowed to exist. Besides that lions roaming free inside and outside of the premises. Just another mongo owner. They should be jailed, or if foreigner deported. The lions need to be relocated to national parks and the dogs need to be put down.

The owner is called "Pa". She is a woman. Moved from Sattahip recently. Where's the African connection? Oh and of course it's your business to know what she and the other owner, a Thai woman, is doing here. Two Thais, a Sri Lankan and a Ukrainian are being charged with moving the other lion without a permit. I'm not picking up your crap either. Maybe you think Sri Lanka is in Africa?
