Pet restaurants are becoming more and more popular, but a Turkish coffee shop raised a lion and even locked her in a glass case, attracting consumers and sparking a backlash among netizens.

▲ Turkish Pet Cafe keeps Lions! Cite netizens to denounce: too cruel.

According to comprehensive foreign media reports, the "Mevzoo" coffee shop in Istanbul, Turkey, recently posted a video on IG, showing that a lion is constantly moving around in a huge glass cabinet in a coffee shop, attracting the attention of consumers, and there are not only lions, parrots and other animals in the coffee shop, but even consumers come with their pets. However, as soon as the film was exposed, it unexpectedly triggered a backlash from netizens, accusing the coffee shop of cruelty to animals, saying that "why not release the poor lion" and "too cruel". Local people even signed a petition from 2700 people to boycott the coffee shop.

According to the report, because the coffee shop has a "tourism-related zoo and animal rehabilitation center" license, it is legal to display these animals, and there are not only lions but also 2 crocodiles, 35 rabbits, 4 snakes and 4 horses. However, due to the pressure of public opinion, the relevant local units still consult with the coffee shop. At present, the coffee shop can still keep these animals, but the glass cabinet has to be removed within three months.
