RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) - Police seized a lion in poor
health from a private home in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after
scared neighbours squawked about the beast's roar, police said on
Friday.
Inspector Ione Rodrigues told Reuters the owners of the
15-year-old retired circus lion called Baby did not have a
licence for the animal and would face criminal charges for
ill-treatment.
"The lion was kept in a small cage in the covered backyard of the
house. It was very skinny and presented signs of atrophy," she said.
"We've received many anonymous reports. The neighbours were
scared by the roaring and feared the cage did not provide enough
security," Rodrigues said.
