Taking your pet lion for a drive

Thailand: Lion filmed riding in open-top Bentley
Thailand: Lion filmed riding in open-top Bentley

Police in Thailand have arrested a woman whose pet lion was pictured going on a joyride in the streets of Pattaya.

A video that has now gone viral shows the chained lion cub seated in the back of a white, open-top Bentley.

The lion was being driven about by a Sri Lankan man who has since left the country, and is believed to be a friend of the woman Sawangjit Kosoongnern.

While it is not illegal to own a lion in Thailand, it needs to be officially registered.

The story has progressed. In summary it appears all "privately owned" lions will be confiscated and the supplier shut down and prosecuted.

I personally saw this two or three times in the UAE. Linked to a childish desperation to show off masculinity/bravery, same as shooting automatic weapons into the air during wedding celebrations.

Yes, it's ridiculous for the people involved and I hope their attention seeking gets them into trouble but aside from that, I thought the lion looked like it was enjoying the ride!

Many Emiratis have excessive wealth, but only a small-appendaged few feel the need to chain a large cat in a luxury car and parade it around town at slow speed!

"However, Ms. Pupe admitted that she didn’t expect her friend to put the lion in an open-top vehicle and drive it for a sightseeing tour around Pattaya before going to the doctor."

Attention seeking Rich Prick. Driving a Bentley Convertible with a Lion in the back seat is obviously not enough... Damn, he even had his hazard lights on in case you missed him!!

But then, compare this to "Christian The Lion" - Truly magical....

But the FULL Documentary is certainly worth the watch: -

Yep, another attention seeking Rich Twat with zero respect for animals. These people need to be castrated in order for humanity to avoid any of their potential offspring.

And the poor bloody lion is killed.... Personally I couldn't give a flying monkey's for the 22 year old idiot who likely got what he deserved.
