Title:
The hidden suffering behind Thai farms that produce lion cubs to become social media sensations and 'luxury toys' in the hands of the country's elite
Author(s):
Pereira R
Publication Year:
2025
Abstract:

The rise in lions bred and sold for parties and social media displays reveals legal loopholes, safety risks, and serious animal welfare issues. The presence of exotic animals in luxury homes in Thailand has grown intensely in recent years, because a new status symbol has emerged among the elite: lion cubs. This preference is spreading through social media and shows a trend marked by ostentation, ignorance, and strong criticism from activists.
