บุกช่วย “สิงโต” หลังเจ้าของโพสต์อวดติ๊กต็อก สลดถูกถอดเขี้ยวเล็บ-เลี้ยงในบ้าน

The photo released by Cambodia’s Ministry of Environment shows the male lion being confiscated. Cambodian authorities on Sunday confiscated a pet lion after the defanged and declawed animal was seen in TikTok videos. AFP

The 18-month-old male had been imported from overseas by the owner, a Chinese national, to be raised in his home, Environment Ministry spokesman Neth Pheaktra said. AFP

Wildlife Alliance wrote in a Facebook post that the conditions of a private residence was “inappropriate for a wild animal”. The confiscation comes a day after a Twitter user posted an aerial shot of the creature roaming around a garden in the upscale Boeung Keng Kang district of Phnom Penh. /khmertimeskh/

“In addition, the lion’s canine teeth had been removed, along with its claws, which drastically reduces a lion’s quality of life,” Wildlife Alliance said. /Twitter/

The big cat was shown in photos released Sunday by the environment ministry lounging with a small dog as authorities prepped a crate to move it to the Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre in the outskirts of the capital. /Twitter/
