A French animal protection agency is caring for a lion cub that was found by police in a Lamborghini on Paris’s Champs-Elysees boulevard.
The agency, 30 Million Friends, has said the cub is the third it has recovered in a month and the sixth in under a year.
“Les pouvoirs publics doivent arrêter ce qui est devenu un véritable #trafic d’animaux sauvages sur le territoire national. Ces bébés, arrachés à leur mère, font l’objet de revente à des particuliers ?. Nous avons déjà sauvé 6 fauves en moins d’un an… ” https://t.co/btjzi2BOuk

It is calling for beefed-up measures against the trafficking of wild animals in France.
The cub, named Putin but known as Dadou, is less than two months old.
It said the cub has a few health problems but is basically fine.
