A HALF-STARVED lion cub has been found in an empty apartment in a gritty Paris suburb after being abandoned by a man who hired the creature to show off, investigators have said.
Police began hunting for the cub after noticing selfies on social media of the 24-year-old man posing with his tawny pet.
Yesterday, they caught up with the man at his home east of Paris, but discovered he had left the lion at another address.
On arriving at an apartment in the northeastern Noisy-le-Sec suburb, the fire service found the abandoned cub “wasting away”.
After being captured with a lasso, the startled lion was placed in the care of an animal rights group.
The man was taken into custody on charges of illegally keeping a wild animal.
This is not the first time a big cat has been found abandoned in the French capital’s northern suburbs.
In 2016, a tiger cub was abandoned northeast of Paris, where it was being rented out by drug dealers for a few euros a photo.

Just got to love that Government travel advice…talk about stating the obvious! Afraid yesterday’s events are going to just about zero travel for most to Tunisia and most of North Africa not to mention most Islamic centric states.
And yet some ignore the advice e.g. attending demonstrations in Egypt
And travelling to Ibiza…
No doubt there is rejoicing in Qatar-the current home of the Muslim Brotherhood who,according to Egypt’s Gen. Sisi is behind all of the terrorist groups. And ,of course, Qatar bankrolls all of them.
Our Govt. should now take a hard look at Qatar and rescind the planning permission for the Clongriffin Megamosque/Megafort asap.
…and sunscreen…always wear sunscreen ……….
Its.
How has nobody said ‘Night at the Museum 2′ yet ?
